Here is the latest BIS report appendix on derivatives.
Unfortunately, their OTC report ends in June 2007, no December
data. However, for exchange-traded derivatives both the
notionals and the volume dropped in December 2007 compared
to June 2007. Turnover dropped very significantly, while
the notionals stabilized. Uh-oh - and I mean it.

bis.org



Total notionals (for contracts traded on exchanges):

June 2007: 28.814 Trillion
December 2007: 28.08 Trillion

Turnover:

Q3 2007: 457.768 Trillion
Q4 2007: 376.165 Trillion

I guess I'm too chicken to trade anything that can go limit that easy.

My thought process for the last few years is to stick to a few select/liquid contracts and know them well. Kind of learn the personality of the contract and you can trade it much more effectively. I was trading gold when it was at $500, just happened that a bubble grew under it. Actually, the increased volume has been beneficial.
