Hey, just recently joined this community. great job Andy. I am currently trying to understand the business structure of the options MM desk at IB or prop desk. What are the typical turnover rate of active position for a dealer in days(mid/large cap stocks)?
To what extent vanillas trade OTC? i mean say the client wants to do large size and open interest only covers a fraction of target volume. a dealer may provide direct liquidity to client. if exist are these volumes much larger/smaller than on exchange?
What is the typical structure of the desk? how many names per trader?
thnx for all your answers comments
