Best way to "say" an option

[BlueWaterSailor]

ha!! I knew it was wrong.
the English word Option has tens of meanings.

Yeah, there's a number of options.

seems like there are quite a few who know the Russian language.

Yep. Not too many who have native-level skill in both, but quite a number of Russophones here - including some really odd Ivan Vanko types, each cobbling up his own arc reactor. Kinda fun if slightly embarrassing to watch.

Correction: "вариант" ("version" or "variant") is the literal translation of "option", but that's not what's used for "option" in the trading sense. That would be "опция" (or more properly, the plural - "опции" (options).)

That one's a bit formal/antiquated. E.g., MOEX uses "опцион" in their docs, while the version I suggested is in more common usage these days, including in literature and speech (few people would use "опционы" in preference to "опции".) Either one would work, though.

I am not translating MT to Russian, so it is irrelevant - just saw that word "опцион" and was amazed at how stilted and awkward it sounded.

Agreed - it's got that certain old-fashioned, pre-1917-revolutionary sound to it. Like "моцион", or "меценатство"... a bit odd-sounding to a Russian speaker today.

Did you say "mar" or "march"? Are you saying that for regular options you didn't say the day but for weeklies you did?

For regulars pro never print the day
