This question has been popping up around the community. Yes, you can trade a range of share options with us. Select popular stocks are available to trade on our web platform , and our full range is available to trade by phone.

That depends on which markets you’d like to trade. We are testing online trading for share options, and to start off with we’re offering tesla shares (weekly and monthly expiries).

Over the coming weeks we hope to expand this offering, depending on client demand.

You can trade our full range of share options – offering stocks from the world’s major exchanges – by phone on 0800 409 6789.

You can trade weekly and monthly share options in our web platform. Rather than finding them in the options flyout, each has their own watchlist. For example, you’d trade tesla from the ‘tesla options’ watchlist:

Share options are contracts that enable you to trade on the price movement of an underlying stock. You can use share options to take a view on whether you think a stock’s price will be above or below a certain level – the strike price – at the option’s expiry.

Normally, buying a share option would give you the right to buy or sell a share at the strike on expiry. However, when you trade share options with us, rather than trading an option directly, you’re trading a CFD on an option’s price.

All this means is that, instead of having the right to buy or sell shares at a certain price, your positions will be cash-settled on expiry. So you’ll never have to worry about delivering, or taking delivery of, the underlying shares.

As with more traditional options, you’ll never risk more than your initial payment when buying.

You can trade select share options on our web platform, and phone 0800 409 6789 to deal on our full range .

You can currently trade tesla (weekly and monthly expiries) online,. We hope to expand this offering over the coming weeks depending on client demand.

You can also trade our full range of share options over the phone, on 0800 409 6789. As long as there is a tradable option in the underlying, we offer all options on shares in the FTSE® 100, the DOW 30, the S&P 500, the nasdaq 100 and some large cap canadian and australian stocks, as well as on a large selection of european options traded on eurex or euronext.

Dealing hours for share options are as follows:

UK share options: 08:00–16:30 (london time)

American share options: 14:30–21:00 (london time)*

European shares: market hours for the relevant exchange. Please ask for current details

Australian share options: 10:00-15:55 (sydney time)*

*it may sometimes not be possible to quote a particular share option if there is no price being published in the underlying market.

We charge a spread depending on where the shares you’re trading originate:

5c on US shares

3p on UK shares

3c on european shares

You can find the full details in the ‘share options’ tab of our fees and charges.

Compare options trading platforms

Options trading platforms let you speculate on financial markets. The best options trading brokers can offer cheaper fees for trading, access to the most markets and deposit protection. Compare options trading brokers based in the UK to choose the best broker for you.

What are options and how do you trade them?

Buying options is one of the most versatile and low-risk ways to speculate on the financial markets. However, as well as being low risk when buying, if you are shorting options can be incredibly risky (more so than futures).

We cover the basics of options trading here:

Compare options trading brokers in the UK

If you are looking for a broker to trade options and want to compare options trading brokers in the UK here are the main things to look out for:

Are they FCA regulated? You can check the FCA register here.

What is the commission per lot

Will the options broker allow you to sell options as well as buy

Are options cross-margined with other products (so you don't double up on margin)

How experienced are the brokers you are dealing with

Does the options broker allow options strategies or just one off trades

What market coverage does the broker offer i.E. Stock, forex, commodity or index etc.

Best options trading platform for beginners

It's important that if you are a complete beginner to investing you should accept that options may not be for you. Options can be quite simple and quite complex and in many cases, there is the risk of losing your entire premium.

So if you are a beginner options trader and looking for a platform, make sure you have significant experience in trading and investing. And most importantly make sure your broker understands that you are a beginner to options trading.

Many options brokers can provide advice on strategy and execution (although not on what to buy or sell). Options brokers also understand the market well so don't be afraid to trade over the phone to make sure that you explain exactly what you want to do.

Most options brokers find the clients will trade options as part of an overall portfolio for hedging or speculation. So, if you want to compare options brokers in the UK take a look at our options broker comparison table to see if the options broker offers additional services that are required for your overall investment objectives.

At city index you can strengthen your investment portfolio by trading options with a spread betting or CFD trading account with daily, monthly and quarterly contracts available. Options are a financial derivative instrument that gives you the right, but not the obligation to purchase or sell an asset at a specified price, known as the strike price, before a certain expiry date. They differ from futures because there is no obligation on behalf of a trader to take delivery of an asset when options option expires. When you buy an options contract it comes with a premium — this is the price of owning the option. The premium acts a bit like insurance, you pay for the right to exercise the option in the future. Like futures, options have a limited shelf life — they have a date at which they expire. The advantage of trading options is that they provide the potential for an investor to acquire something cheaper than the market price, or options sell something at a more expensive price than the market is trading at. There are two types of option contracts which can be bought to speculate on the direction of an asset:. Call option this gives you the right to BUY an asset at a future price. Buyers of a call option are speculating on an increase in the price of the asset. They have the right to buy the asset at the strike price of the contract. Buyers of a put option are speculating on a decline in the price of the asset. They have the right to sell the asset at the strike price of the contract. Options are traded in a standardised format on options exchanges. The largest options exchange in the world is the chicago board options exchange CBOE. Options trading can also take place directly with another counterparty, this is known as over-the —counter OTC. Options are frequently used by investors to help them manage the risk in their portfolios. For example, an investor with a portfolio of UK shares might buy a put option on the UK this will go up in value as the UK falls. Options can be more flexible than futures, as they come in both buy call and put sell versions, plus it comes down to the trader to decide when to exercise them. The premium paid for an option can be more cost efficient than a futures contract too. There are many different types of trading strategies that traders use to profit and hedge their risk.

Is it possible to trade forex options?

Options are available for trading in almost every type of investment that trades in a market. Most investors are familiar with stock or equity options, however, there are options available to the retail forex currency trader as well.

Currency option trading

There are two primary types of options available to retail forex traders for currency option trading.

Call / put options

The first is the traditional call or put option. The call gives the buyer the right to purchase a currency pair at a given exchange rate at some time in the future. The put option gives the buyer the right to sell a currency pair at a given exchange rate at some time in the future. Both the put and call options give investors a right to buy or sell, but there is no obligation. If the current exchange rate puts the options out of the money, then the options will expire worthlessly.

Single payment options trading (SPOT)

Alternatively, the other type of option available to retail forex traders for currency option trading is the single payment options trading (SPOT) option. SPOT options have a higher premium cost compared to traditional options, but they are easier to set and execute.

A currency trader buys a SPOT option by inputting the desired scenario (ex. "I think EUR/USD will have an exchange rate above 1.5205, 15 days from now,") and a premium will be quoted. If the buyer purchases this option, then the SPOT will automatically pay out should the scenario occur. Essentially, the option is automatically converted to cash.

Using exotic options

Options are used by forex currency traders to make a profit or protect against a loss. It is also important to note that there is a wide variety of exotic options that can be used by professional forex traders, but most of these contracts are thinly traded because they are only offered over the counter. Because options contracts implement leverage, traders are able to profit from much smaller moves when using an options contract than in a traditional retail forex trade.

When combining traditional positions with a forex option, hedging strategies can be used to minimize the risk of loss. Options strategies such as straddles, strangles, and spreads are popular methods for limiting the potential of loss in a currency trade.

How to trade forex options online

Not all retail forex brokers provide the opportunity for options trading within your accounts. Retail forex traders should be sure to research the broker they intend on using to determine whether everything that will be required is available. For forex traders who intend to trade forex options online—for either profit or risk management—having a broker that allows you to trade options alongside traditional positions is valuable. Alternatively, traders can open a separate account and buy options through a different broker.

Because of the risk of loss when writing options, most retail forex brokers do not allow traders to sell options contracts without high levels of capital for protection.
