ES options monthly vs weekly

O

optionbull

Anyone know how these ES options get broken down?

For example right now JUNE ES options have april expiry:

April 12th
April 19th
April 30th


IB lists the 19th as (ES) options and the 30th as (EW) implying end of month are weekly ?


Are not all these considered weekly options?

April 12th is a weekly

April 19th is regular expiration

April 30th is the end of month expiration

I don't know if the terminology is the same with options on equity index futures, but in the physical commodity futures world, April would be called a serial month and its underlying would be the June futures contract.

End of month symbol should be EW, weekly - EW1, 2, 4

yep. I just thought that there were options only in the underlying ( underlying has quartely cycles)

So there is no difference trading the different instruments they all have the liquidity etc., its just whatever your time horizon is. Its all just time.
