If you have the cash nothing beats your own book.
Problem is that I don't have the cash - otherwise, I gladly would. I require several million in capital to put this trade on.
I think I remember your post from a long ago. You're at MM shop, right?
Nah, might be thinking of someone else. Shop I'm at right now is a equity vol arb shop. We primarily take positions in single names. Although there is an element of market making, it's mostly market taking.
I currently work on the index vol desk at a bank... PM me.
I've been at a small prop firm in Chicago for 10 years. Here's a list of some names that might fit what you're looking for... I'm not vouching for any of them, but it's a place for you to start:
DV Trading Volant Trading Traditum Prime Trading Rosenthal Geneva Great Point Capital Belevedere Akuna Capital Old Mission Capital Blackedge Capital HTG Capital Partners HC Technologies Transmarket Tradelink
Some of those are bigger/older/more corporate than others. Also, as I'm sure you're aware, if you're willing to share in the risk, you'll be able to negotiate a better deal. If you really want to dig deep and make some calls, here's the CME member directory. I'm not aware of a membership list for the CBOE, but there should be some overlap.

Good luck
Thanks man. This list is really helpful and exactly the type of response I was hoping for. I've spoken to a few of these firms, and am currently in the interview process with several of them. But haven't approached most of them, and will talk to the headhunter I'm working with about them asap.
If you ever want to grab a drink and talk shop, let me know. Always down to chat with likeminded individuals.
