Option trading

Question

Guest Gibbo

Hi there, I have not been able to get a consistent answer from the IG support team, phone and email tell me different things.

 

I hold CFD and a Share Trading account both on IG with permissions to trade on the US market with my W-8BEN all approved and so on.

 

I want to write put options either on the NASDAQ or NYSE, but it is not clear to me if this works the way it is ment to or even have the ability to do so.

 

Does anyone else do this on IG or elsewhere? Love your advice on using this playform if it is possible and how ypu actually go trading and where you do this.

Hi ,

 

We offer Equity options in our CFD accounts, but please note that these are a phone dealing only product. You can both buy and sell options on a number of markets. For example; US, UK, European. Upon expiry these will always be cash settled and not stock settled.

 

Please see costs below:

 

US: $5 commission per lot, 1 lot = equivalent of 100 shares, minimum size 5 lots (dependent on option premium this can be less).

UK: £10 commission per lot, 1 lot = equivalent of 1000 shares, minimum size 1 lot.

 

Hopefully this answers your query! Any furthers queries please don't hesitate to contact us on our dealing line 020 7896 0000.

 

Thanks,

Michael

    • Sorry, I didn't get it... What's Dual investment? 
    • The crypto market appears to be showing signs of recovery, with significant improvements in the Sharpe Ratios of Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum, according to an article published on Friday.  The Sharpe Ratio, a measure used to understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, has seen a notable increase for both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's Sharpe Ratio has risen from -2.4 to 0.68, while Ethereum and BGB have also experienced a similar uptrend. This change signifies higher returns at lower risk, which is expected to attract more investors to the crypto market. In addition to the improved Sharpe Ratios, increased network activity and trading volume as shown on CEXs like Bitget, Binance, and a few DEXs are suggesting a healthier market state. The current trading prices of Bitcoin, reflect this overall positive market sentiment. As of Friday, Bitcoin was trading at $27,069.73, BGB at $0.454 and Ethereum at $1,677.89. These developments are significant as they indicate reduced risk in the crypto market. The increase in the Sharpe Ratios for Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum suggests that these cryptocurrencies are becoming less risky investments, which could potentially lead to an influx of new investors into the market.  Could this rise in Sharpe Ratios coupled with increased network activity and trading volume point towards a recovering and less risky crypto market?
