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.

    • Coffee Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Counter-trend  Mode - Corrective  Structure - Possible Zigzag for B  Position - Wave B of (Y) Direction - Wave B of  (Y) is still in progress Details - Wave B is still in progress. It looks to be in the last leg for a zigzag structure. The decline could continue to 207-to-199 before returning upside for wave C. Coffee prices have embarked on a nuanced journey post the robust impulse breakout witnessed since March 19, signifying a potential completion of a significant phase. Preceding this surge, the commodity had languished within a confined sideways range for a span of three months. The ongoing descent appears poised to persist within the framework of a zigzag structure, setting the stage for an eventual upward trajectory in alignment with the broader resurgence.   Delving into the daily chart reveals the unfolding of a bullish double zigzag pattern originating from 141.85 in January 2023. This intricate pattern likely constitutes the second leg of a larger corrective wave initiated back in February 2022. For analytical simplicity, our focus remains on the double zigzag structure stemming from 141.85, as depicted on the daily chart. Presently, this double zigzag is navigating through its final wave – denoted as primary degree blue wave W. Blue wave W, in turn, unfolds as a double zigzag at the intermediate degree, delineated as waves (W)-(X)-(Y). The preceding three-month consolidation period culminated in the formation of a triangle pattern, notably identified as wave (X), at the 179.35 mark. The ongoing wave Y also appears to be materializing into a double zigzag, with the current downturn representing its second leg, preceding an anticipated upward surge to finalize wave (Y) of blue Y.   Zooming in on the H4 chart accentuates the present retracement, identified as wave B of (Y). This corrective wave is conceivably in the process of completing a zigzag pattern and may discover support within the Fibonacci zone spanning from 207.9 to 199.40. Consequently, a subsequent wave C is anticipated to manifest, propelling prices higher, potentially surpassing the April 18th high. However, a decisive breach beneath this support zone, coupled with a violation of the 161.8% extension level at 194.3, could herald the emergence of an impulse wave. Such a scenario could entail a more profound corrective pullback, challenging the integrity of the 179.35 low, or even signaling the culmination of wave (Y) at the April 18th peak, paving the way for a broader downturn encompassing primary degree wave Y (blue).   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!        
    • It can be a bit overwhelming with so many options out there. When I was looking for renter's insurance, I stumbled upon Lemonade and was pleasantly surprised. They offer customizable coverage options, which is awesome for someone like you with diverse investments. Their process is super easy, all done online in minutes.  But hey, don't just take my word for it, do your research. This link I found might help - https://joywallet.com/article/best-renters-insurance/. And remember, it's not just about the coverage, but also the customer service.
    • Key stock indices ended the day in the red on Tuesday and in after-hours trading Amazon, AMD and McDonald's had mixed results while US yields and the US dollar rose ahead of today's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The main focus is on Jerome Powell's press conference and what signals he gives about future interest rate policy. The expectation is he will strike a cautious but hawkish tone on inflation, given recent economic data has challenged the Fed's soft landing scenario. On the data front are UK and US manufacturing PMIs, the US ADP's non-farm estimate, job openings, mortgage applications, EIA's inventory estimates and, of course, the FOMC monetary policy meeting at which no rate cut is expected to be announced.
