Options Trading

Trade options with funded capital — firms offering derivatives access.

What is Trading de opciones?

Options trading involves buying or selling contracts that give the right (but not obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price. Strategies range from simple calls/puts to complex spreads, strangles, and iron condors. Options offer defined-risk setups and leverage without the same margin requirements as futures.

Frequently asked questions

Do any prop firms offer options trading?

Very few. Some futures-focused firms like Topstep and Apex Trader Funding may offer options on futures. Pure forex prop firms generally don't offer options.

Can I sell options at a prop firm?

If the firm offers options, selling is typically restricted to covered or spread positions. Naked option selling carries unlimited risk, which conflicts with prop firm drawdown rules.

What platforms support options at prop firms?

Thinkorswim (TOS), Rithmic-based platforms, and CQG are the most common. You'll need a platform that displays options chains, Greeks, and multi-leg order entry.

Are options strategies like iron condors allowed?

Defined-risk strategies like iron condors, vertical spreads, and butterflies are more likely to be permitted than naked selling. Always verify with the specific firm.

How does options P&L work with prop firm drawdown?

Options premium decay (theta) is reflected in your unrealized P&L. If you sell an option, the premium decay works in your favor. If you buy, time decay works against you and counts toward drawdown.
