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.)

    • In my opinion, higher lev is for scalpers only! For day or swing traders, either spot or lower lev is always recommended!
    • Just now, according to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 100 BTC has reached a four-month low, currently standing at 15,955.
    • Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts?
