Question: What are FX Options trading hours?

Steve's Response:

Beginning April 30, 2010, trading in ISE’s currency options will open at 7:30 a.m* (New York Time). Trading will close at 4:15 p.m. ISE is extending trading hours to attract participants who are active in the foreign exchange markets prior to ISE's current 9:30 a.m. opening time. The extended hours will appeal to a broader range of foreign exchange traders, especially from the UK and other countries in Western Europe, and ISE's FX options products will benefit from additional liquidity during peak FX trading hours.

*market orders will not be accepted between 7:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m (New York Time).

Steve, just spoke to someone at Thinkorswim and they said the trading window is still 9:30 AM EST to 4:15 PM EST. Can you clarify?

ISE trades from 7:30 AM ET to 4:15 PM ET, some brokers do not allow orders to be sent until 9:30 ET.

Many brokers have modified their systems to allow for 7:30 ET opening, some have yet to change their order routing sytems.

Thanks for your interest in ISE FX Options.
