Did not know you worked for Rodger who, along with Don Wilson and a few others including the Goldman boys, Jeff and Bruce, helped me get a lot done in Euro Options.
As a relatively frequent equity index options trader I agree with much of your assessment in the article and look forward to seeing how this all plays out in the next few months.
While I would appreciate an overnight market in the index options, I do recognize that the depth of absorption liquidity-wise is generally dramatically reduced, and that is one hell of an understatement, especially in the beginning, but it's better than nothing I suppose.
I was Roger's fifth employee. He backed me from 1988-1992 then I went on my own. I clerked for him from May 1987, to May 1988 when he put a badge on me.
FWIW, yes that is me in the centerish of the photo (CR). Back month Eurodollars probably in 1988 or 1989.
You had hair back then.😄
#MeToo 😄
I also started in Euros in 1986.

I was running Bear Stearns Euro Options operations from about mid '91 through the end of '98.
Do you still talk to him?
Not sure if you know this is out there.
