Worldwide Options Trading
Trade options on 30+ market centers using tools like Options Chain, Option Exercise Tool and the Options Wizard. Choose from four levels of options trading permissions to find choices more precisely aligned with your options trading strategies.

The Options Chain lets you quickly view and monitor options prices through time. Click a single bid or ask price to load an option in the order entry panel or use the Option Chain window to add multiple single option legs or multi-leg options to a watchlist.
Exercise Options with a Few Taps
The Option Exercise Tool lets you manually exercise options prior to their expiration date if you are in a complex, multi-leg strategy, looking to capture a dividend or for various corporate actions. You can also exercise options on Expiration Friday that would normally be allowed to lapse according to clearinghouse rules.
