No, you can trade options CFD directly from your existing CMC Markets CFD trading account.
We currently offer options CFD on major indices including the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Germany 40, UK 100, and more, as well as popular US-listed shares such as Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms and Tesla.
The options chain is a table that shows available call and put options for a selected instrument across various expiry dates and strike prices. You can access the chain directly from the product library and use it to open an order ticket.
Limit IOC: Executes immediately at your specified price or better. Any unfilled portion is cancelled.
Protected Market IOC: Like a market order, but with a platform-set price cap to reduce slippage. Functions like a limit IOC using that maximum price.
As a CMC Markets customer, you won’t pay any commission, holding fees or financing fees when you trade options CFD with us. The only costs you’ll pay are the spread and, if the instrument you’re trading is priced in a currency other than your Account currency, a CMC Currency Conversion Rate.
Yes, options CFD positions can be closed at any time before expiry. This allows you to lock in profits or limit losses as market conditions change.
You can view all your open options CFD positions in the ‘Option CFD Positions’ section of the platform. To access it, go to the top menu and select ‘Account’ > ‘Option CFD Positions’. From there, you can monitor live profit and loss (P&L), margin, premium, Greeks, and manage your trades, including closing or adjusting positions as needed.
Greeks measure how various factors affect the option’s price - such as time decay (Theta), price sensitivity (Delta), and volatility (Vega). These are displayed in the order ticket and options chain as indicative values to help you understand risk.
