Improve Spreads on Options


Guest Hywel

Recommended Posts

Can you improve the spreads on the options products please? I just sold a Call and a Put in the SP500 in Feb, £10 point and I know it'll cost nothing to close but as soon as I place the trade I'm £30 down. The only reason I didn't place it with Interactive Brokers is you need a minimum £10000 account size. When TastyWorks starts accepting international clients at the end of the month and has a minimum account size of £2000, the same trade will cost me $2 to open and nothing to close. Thanks.

Hi , thanks for the post.

 

There's a fairly complex algorithm as to how we price our options, and we'll then wrap our spread around this which is determined by our volatility desk and by general business decisions, so I'm afraid we would not really be able to change the prices you see for the calls and puts on the platform.  We can't comment on how other providers may price similar markets, so apologies you're not fully happy with them.  I can certainly pass on your feedback to the desk!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

    • Does anyone else know any other SB providers that you can use to trade through TV?  I've only so far seen CFD providers which doesn't work for me due to tax reasons (mainly the hassle of having to account for it as well as the obvious cost).
    • Is there any update on when/if there will be any integration with Tradingview???
    • The anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions can vary depending on the specific cryptocurrency you use and the methods you use. While some cryptocurrencies provide a degree of privacy and anonymity, it is important to note that achieving complete anonymity can be difficult. Most cryptocurrencies operate on a pseudonymous basis. Transactions are recorded in a public ledger, called a blockchain, using cryptographic addresses instead of personal information. However, these addresses are usually not directly linked to a real identity, unless someone voluntarily discloses this information. Some cryptocurrencies, such as Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC), are specifically designed to increase privacy and anonymity. I read on https://deeplab.com/darkweb/anonymous-sudan-launches-cyberattacks-on-middle-eastern-news-outlets-expands-target-list-with-four-additional-names that some people use this anonymity as a cyber attack.
