Mike Khouw Sees Unusual Options Activity In VIX


27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


On CNBC's "Options Action," Mike Khouw said puts outpaced calls in VIX on Monday by almost 2 to 1. Volume was above average.

The most active options were the December 20 puts, on the December VIX futures contract. At one point around 43,000 contracts crossed the table, said Khouw. Ultimately, over 48,000 contracts were traded. Buyers of these puts are betting the December VIX futures contract could decline and the worst is behind us.
