Options Trading opening times


Danmilner

Question

Is there an obvious reason I am missing as to why I can trade in monthly options for the us500 and Wall Street right now but not on the us tech 100? I know the American market is not currently ‘open’ but how come these behave differently to one another? 
 

thanks

Hi @AshishIG,

 

just as an example it is currently 7:33am uk time and I am able to trade Wall Street and US500 monthly options right now however tech100 shows as closed for me. I just wondered why they have different opening hours on your platform for options? 
 

thanks

Hi @Danmilner,

The reason is that there are no after-hours sessions available for US Tech 100 that we can consider. However, there is an after-hours session available for US 500, and the Dow is highly correlated with US 500.

We provide NDX options that are based on the cash market. These options can be traded on the PHLX (Philadelphia Stock Exchange) from 14:30 to 21:15 UK time. On the other hand, SPX options trade on the CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) nearly around the clock, which allows us to offer continuous trading. Although the Dow options market is also not very active, the volatility of the Dow is closely correlated with SPX, so we are willing to offer Dow options. However, we cannot trade Nasdaq options outside of regular cash market hours.
Hope this helps.

All the best,
AshishIG

@Danmilner,

Are you still unable to view the monthly options trading for US Tech 100 on the platform? It is currently available for both July and August.

    • GX Uranium ETF Commodity Elliott Wave Analysis The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, tracks the performance of companies in the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms involved in uranium mining, exploration, and production worldwide. As nuclear power gains recognition as a cleaner energy alternative, the demand for uranium is expected to rise, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to benefit from the sector's growth.

The commodity is now expected to extend above the May 2024 high to reach its highest price in over a decade. Long Term Analysis From the long-term view, GX URA appears to be in a bullish corrective cycle. Between February 2011 to March 2020, the ETF fell consistently making lower lows and lower highs reminiscent of an impulse wave structure. price has been correcting the long-term bearish run since the low of March 2020.

Afterward, it made a corrective pullback for wave B (circled) which ended in July 2022. From there an impulse wave was completed for wave (1) of C (circled) in May 2024 and a pullback followed for wave (2) as the daily chart shows. The current rally from the 5th of August 2024 is expected to be wave 1 of (3). Wave 1 is incomplete. Thus, there is a lot of room for buyers to keep pushing the long-term recovery.

Traders can look for buying opportunities from the dip when the price completes wave ((iv)) or wave 2 in the near term. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
