Limit orders for option trades

[Kartikeya]

It will be good if IG can allow placing limit orders with option trades. Presently I can only deal at the current price.

When IG can allow placing limit orders with option trades ?

Any ETA on this functionality going live ? All other options brokers allow this, IG are seriously falling behind with the market here. Plus any reason that we can't trade a wider range of USA equity options  after the Tastytrade acquisition ? Seems like a no brainer. I would actually pay extra for this kind of service. Thanks

Its actually a bit ridiculous that a basic limit order can't be set with a limit of a few months and also at any distance from the current share price.

What is the status of limit orders for options?   Also platform does not provide any strategy builder or payoff graphs.  Please let us know the product direction and timelines for these features.  If this is still in feedback, not sure it would happen early. Let us know please.

Please could IG provide an indication of when limit orders will be available for option trades? It is an absolutely essential functionality, especially at a time of great market volatility, and one that several other brokers seem to provide.

Hi @Adsan

Please kindly note that this is something we are looking to offer. Unfortunately we cannot confirm when this will be available on the platform. 

Thanks, OfentseIG
