Hello,

Am I just really silly or am I not looking at things correctly. I want to look at all the options and when I search for them I only ever get 28 results. Is this all IG has to offer with options trading or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks, 
A Noob

Hey @BlundurBust

It's not a silly question at all. We have some on the platform by all share (equity) options you have to call us to deal. Our FX, indices and commodities options can be found on the platform. 

All the best

Hello, sorry to be adding to this discussion but I was looking for pretty much the same information. Would you care to explain why the majority of options are only available to trade via phone and not the platform unlike let's say Robinhood? thank you.

I've passed on the suggestion as it would be great to have equity options on our platform.

Well this sucks. As I've been learning more and more about trading, I was getting deep into Options concepts and theory. A lot of the language around IG and Options isn't super clear, especially for newcomers.

You can find on a single page in pretty small and thin font that 'btw you have to ring us for individual company options loser lol'.

 

Also, I'm really not a fan of the rise in marketing, from all brokers, around such highly leveraged products.

Robinhood is for Yankee Stroodles only, and Yankee Stroodles aren't allowed to spread bet.  (They are allowed to march around with rifles and machine guns though.)

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
