Bitcoin Options-Interactive Brokers??

  1. I just read that bitcoin futures options started trading on CME?
    Are those able to trade through Interactive Brokers?

    Doesn't look like, but you can contact IB:

    Though with the volume of 50 options per day, they seems less liquid than options on penny stocks. Not sure if IB will be rushing to let one guy buy 1 option :)
     
  3. Have you seen NQ/ES futures options? There is often just one guy!

  4. There are many options traded on ES futures, I trade them often as well with good liquidity.
     
  5. Ahh understood, thank you
     
  6. Actually never traded them before, was just curious about anything related to bitcoin options. Would be good to hedge with a put at current levels while still holding my long positions.
     
  7. It's not as good as the ETFs


    For example, here is the volume I'm seeing for near the money calls for EW3
