Overnight trading in SPX and VIX options

[FSU]

Is anyone aware of a firm other than IB that allows trading in the overnight session (2am to 815am ct) for SPX and VIX options?

It's relatively new for SPX and VIX options.

Most brokers don't want to staff for options at that time and have position files and margin ready at that time. The cost is not worth the revenues.

Bob, do you know if Wedbush clears these trades? Unfortunately Apex doesn't, even though I can trade them through my platform.

I expect that every OCC member can clear these trades if they want to. We don't offer execution for these in ETH because of staffing and risk.
