Does anyone trade VSTOXX futures and options

It's been a few years - used to be a nice French kid that spoke to me on var swaps

Yeah same for me... when I wrote the question to you I thought to myself... what are their names again?

Sam on equity options. Some Frenchie on index... Thibo I think his name was...
 
I do trade them with IB. Both VStoxx and and the etp EXIV, which is short VStoxx 30 days. The market is great for diversifying between regions. I also trade the NKVI, Nikkei vix futures.

Btw, the EXIV seems to be getting greater leverage than vix products at IB right now. I don't know why, but they'll let me trade a larger market value with EXIV than Xiv. That matters, ever since they their recent crackdown vol products.
 
EVIX

I'm sure you're aware, but just so everyone else is -- it trades tiny, tiny volume.
