CMC Markets has expanded its investment offering with options trading, providing an opportunity to trade market volatility and hedge existing investments.
You won’t pay any commissions, holding or financing fees when trading options at CMC. Instead, you pay a spread and if the instrument is priced in a currency that’s not your base currency, a conversion fee of 0.5% will apply.
Key Takeaways
- Options are available on six US and European stock indices (S&P, Nasdaq, FTSE, DAX, CAC and Euro Stoxx) with more underlying assets to be added.
- Fractional options are available with positions from one-hundredth of an option (0.01 of a contract).
- CMC Markets offers options trading in live and demo trading environments through its CFD account.
