The benefits and risks of trading weekly, monthly and quarterly options CFDs

Zero overnight funding

You don’t pay overnight funding as on regular spot markets, so you can hold longer positions for less.

Know your risk

Your risk is only as much as the margin you pay to open when you buy options, even when the expiry is months in the future.

Increased market opportunity

Find opportunity on a broad range of market conditions. You can even trade on flat markets.

Take control of trades

Discover a range of trading strategies that are unique to options, and get greater control than when trading CFDs.

Unparalleled CFD market range

Take positions on major indices, shares, FX and more.

Risk management

Protect your profits and losses through our risk management strategies available.

Keep costs down

Trade on competitive spreads, from as low as 0.5² points.

No spread at expiry

Don’t pay any spread to close your position when you hold it to expiry.

What are weekly, monthly and quarterly options CFDs?

Weekly, monthly and quarterly options are contracts that give you the right – but not the obligation – to buy or sell an underlying asset before a certain date, with weekly, monthly or quarterly expiry dates.

With IG, you can trade CFDs on an option’s price. Your positions will always be cash-settled at expiry. You’ll never have to deliver, or take delivery of, the underlying.

You can use options to speculate on whether the price of a financial market will move above or below a certain level – the strike price – at the option’s expiry. For weekly options this is on the following Friday, and for monthly options the third Friday of the month. The date of expiry for quarterly options will depend on the market being traded.

You can find more details of the expiry time in the ‘information’ tab of the deal ticket. If you want to use options for intraday trading, take a look at our daily options – trade with low spreads and get greater leverage than on spot market positions.

Types of weekly, monthly and quarterly option

There are two types of weekly, monthly and quarterly option – calls and puts.

If you think the market is going to rise, you’d buy a call
If you think the market is going to fall, you’d buy a put
