430, re: How much of option trading is retail vs. institutional? When the trading is institutional, are they really placing their bets with options or are the options merely a hedge? I don't know the answer. But there is a lot of stuff going on. For instance, for the week ending 7/27, 26.3% of total volume on the NYSE was program trades by brokerage houses. Of that, about 8.8% was index arbitrage or "other derivative related". That's a lot of volume. I don't know the way the game is played at the trading desks, maybe someone else does. John
