Options on Euro STOXX 50 via IB?
- Thread starter heech
- Start date
IB support got back to my ticket, and said it's because these options aren't approved for trading by US residents. I'm not sure what that's about.Quote from heech:
Yes, that's what I did. No options.
For one thing, their own website says that it is:

For a second... why is my fund limited from trading non-US assets? I had no idea.
I'm trying right now. And also, if an instrument isn't being quoted right now... that's one thing. Happens all the time. But TWS doesn't even let me add/find the instrument.Quote from jogomax:
Well, sorry for the stupid remark but, have you tried at the right time?
Eurostoxx options are negotiable from 7:50 to 16:30 GMT

IB classify them as 'options' not 'future options'. Maybe IB has them wrongly classified. The indication in the future options column in the above url doesn't really make sense if there is no such product!?
