Options

An Option gives the right, but not the obligation to the option owner to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price and time in the future. There are two basic types of Options:

  • A call option  is an option contract that gives the owner of the option, the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying asset on a specific date and at a specific price.
  • A put option is an option contract that gives the option owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying asset on a specific date and at a specific price.

DGCX trades US$ denominated standardized options contracts. All contracts are developed in consultation with their associated trade industry, and members of DGCX.
