What is options trading?

Options trading is the act of buying and selling options. These are contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a set price, if it moves beyond that price within a set timeframe.

With us, you can trade options with CFDs. This involves taking a position on the underlying options price, not entering into the options contract directly or employing complex strategies

What are options?

Options are contracts that give you the right – but not the obligation – to buy or sell an underlying asset before a certain expiry date. You can use them to speculate on the price of a financial market, and in some cases its volatility too.
