Option trading is coming next year, it’s one of the top 5/3 requested features. The team told me/us it’s not in their plans for this year, because they clearly worked on other cool features like pies and adding new stocks and exchanges.
Next year I am super excited to get all features we’ve been waiting for.
Talking here about the benefits of options over CFDs is useless, because T212 doesn’t offer them yet. Options are more sophisticated and complicated instruments by nature, CFDs are simple and offer the average Joe and also the pro to just go long and short synthetically without owning actual shares, hence readily available from most brokers.
People will not stop using CFDs and people will also not stop requesting/using options also, T212 will bring them and all other good things next year - they don’t want to and will not miss a feature that could be a deciding factor between them and another broker.
Until then, I advice everyone who is requesting options, to go the most requested features post (Most wanted features Survey (Reloaded)) and vote for options and wait till it’s shipped!
