Weekly Wednesday FX Options on Futures

More Precise FX Risk Management

Weekly premium-quoted and volatility-quoted FX options on futures provide liquid, short-term expiration granularity that allows for more precise and capital-efficient FX risk management.

Now available: Wednesday options on futures are now available for trading.

Wednesday options on futures have been available for trading since October 29, just in time for the November 1 FOMC rate announcement. The addition of Wednesday options provides you with the opportunity to fine-tune your trading strategies, particularly ahead of mid-week market-moving events and reports. The new Wednesday options will have the exact specification of the existing options expiring on Fridays, but they will expire on Wednesdays.
