    Options on US stocks are currently listed on 6 options exchanges - CBOE, ISE, BOX, PHLX, AMEX, PSE. The options are not tied to a single specific exhange (with some exceptions for index options) so it doesn't really matter where you make the trade, in other words, you trade where the best price is.

    Also have a look at The Options Clearing Corporation

    CME and CBOT are futures exchanges, which list options on futures not on individual stocks.

  4. Hello Italian day trader!
    Are you trading Italian stocks or Eurex/DAX futures? we hear comissions are high compared to US stocks or futures!
    If you want to trade options on us stocks or indices,IB at UK will be the ideal place to start!
    Enlighten us with your Italian trading experience.
    Most of us here wont touch any thing which is not traded in US except DAX like futures.
