    What do you mean by penny options? Do you mean options trading in penny increments? If you do then in Europe options trade in penny increments.
     
  3. Yes, I do mean that, thank you.

    Where can one access a list of European stocks that offer options trading?

  5. Thanks.

    I'm subscribed with IB for information for American & English options. Which additional European countries should I be subscribing to with IB to get it all?

    Do you know if there is any scanning service out there for European style options?

    I'm not sure I don't use IB, but don't they have subscriptions to the exchange? Just add Eurex and Euronext.

    Why would you need to scan for European style options. The option style is fixed by the contract specs so just go to the exchange's website and look up contract specs.
     
  7. Thank you. Now I have some of those symbols dowloaded on IB. When is Eurex market opened, as I dont see any quotes?

    Have you tried looking on the EUREX's webpage!? It took me 10 seconds to find a comprehensive list of trading hours for all products.
     
  9. Here is a list of avialable for market subscriptons Which do I need for Eurex options--as it doesn't seem to me anything matches up?
