Henry Schwartz from Cboe is tracking retail broker trading, which he says has skyrocketed this year. April 4 was the busiest day ever for option volume. He attributes the boom to volatility spiking around ‘Liberation Day’ and short-dated trading strategies, with retail traders driving most of single-stock contracts. He notes that volume is very concentrated. Henry highlights trends to watch in retail options activity for interested investors.
