Options trading

Can I trade options?

Yes, CMC Markets Invest offers options trading on our fully integrated platform, which will give you the flexibility and ability to protect, grow and diversify your portfolio.
 
If you do not already have Options linked to your CMC Markets Invest account, please complete and return a signed original application form.

To learn more about what is an option and how to trade it, visit our introductory article.

What functionality is available on the platform?

There are four options trading levels and you will be able to complete an in-platform quiz to qualify for each level. Each level increases your risk exposure and additional trading functionality. On the CMC Markets Invest platforms you can, depending on your trading level:

- Sell uncovered calls and puts

- Execute multi-legged options

- Build and execute complex strategies

- Understand your book with the Theoretical Price estimate and display of Options Greeks

- Use interactive pay-off diagrams to understand your risk and exposures in real time.

- Report on your whole portfolio with simple and efficient combined watch lists, Profit and Loss statements and orders history.

Can my Options trading level be downgraded?

Yes, CMC Markets reserves the right to downgrade your access levels if a trading breach has been identified on your account or if we feel you do not fully understand the risks of various strategies. Once your account is downgraded, you will be unable to increase your access levels.
