IG Product Updates

although its fantastic that  individual company options may now become available online...I can’t believe you’ve chosen one of the most volatile stocks with a high underlying price! very risky for inexperienced traders....I really hope you offer some low priced stocks to trade as well?

Dont see any vanilla options on stocks on the options platform?

 

@CharlotteIG please can you confirm when the next months / periods option become tradable (so viewable on the watchlists) - generally not just Tesla. So for eg. Oil, quarterly index / FX etc

Is it after the current / immediately preceding period contact has expired or before?

Thanks

Hey @Jimothy, 

For futures it will usually be a day before expiry, but sometimes up to a few days before depending on the popularity of the market and if liquidity suits. 

You can check the expiry of the current contract on the platform in the get info section

Hey,

You should find them on your CFD/ Spread betting account under US Equity Options

Hoping IG adds options for many more shares. Its been over 4 months and Tesla is still the only share for which there are some limited options. Options would increase customers and improve customer reviews. Dont understand why IG chooses only to use Tesla. So much potential on the platform. 

Have been moving around platform to platform trying to find the best online platform. And IG rated imo as one of the best, but unfortunately I will not move to here due to limited options. So many others have every single option on their planform of shares in the US.

 

Pity they wont add more than just tesla.. Very sad to see this is not a priority any serious trader wont think of the platform twice till they sort this out, Hope you do it, will have me switch within a day.(Oh and phone trading doesnt count)

Thank you for these kind words! I will pass this feedback onto our developers to show the impact adding equities options to the platform will have for traders

All the best 

I completely agree was gonna join this platform but as I primarily trade options only having tesla available is not attractive to me Ill look elsewhere
