SPX options - september expiry not tradable?


PythonTrade86

Question

Hello,

As you can see on this screenshot, SPX options are tradable, apart from the september expiry... 

Why is this expiry not available to trade?

I am frustrated that IG decides which expiries we can trade and which we can't. It also happened last week. I would like an explanation, please.

 

Thank you

Hi @PythonTrade86,

It seems that the dealing desk made the September Options available. Could you please advise if they are available on your side?

Thank you - Arvin

@ArvinIG Yes they are, thank you.

I really found it unfair that IG behaves this way. That is not in the client's interest, to my opinion.

Hi @PythonTrade86,

I believe that the dealing desk didn't add the September options as they are further away, only the closest expiry would be available. But on demand they can make them accessible.

I hope that it helps. If you have any options that are further away that you would like to trade please reach out to IG for them to be available to trade on the platform.

All the best - Arvin

Well, they were tradable, and I was trading them, since 2 or 3 weeks already... 

But it is nice to hear that on request one could get more expiries, good to know!

Thank you very much

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
