I am shocked by the size of the retail index options traders. They are selling put options naked without any underlying hedges and getting fleeced as a result.

Two strategies are detailed with trades: 1) expiry day price discrepancies between index options and underlying 2) expiry day painting the close

This is why the flow is so valuable. The volume is pretty big, the spreads are enormous and the traders are terrible.
