  • Trade Contract Options via the Options Chain

    Built into the Saxo Trader and SaxoWebTrader, Saxo Bank allows you to trade Contract Options through an industry-standard Options Chain.

    The Option Chain provides you with a great overview of the different strikes and maturities of the related underlying. You will find the maturities and strikes in the middle of the option chain. Calls are on the left and Puts are on the right. By scrolling down you navigate down the maturity curve.

    When the underlying is a future contract you find the first 3 maturities of the futures contract on the top of the option chain, and when the underlying is a cash index, like the Eurostoxx50 for example, the cash index is displayed.

    The number of strikes listed in each maturity can be changed from 4 strikes to 24 strikes giving you the perfect overview of your trading opportunities.

  • All types of Options are available

    Saxo Bank offers trading on Calls and Puts Contract Options. As defined by the exchange where the Options are listed, both American and European style Contract Options are available for trading with Saxo Bank.
