繼續閱讀,了解這些重要變化如何有助於改善您的交易策略和結果。
我們的新佣金收費為期權交易者帶來了大量成本節省。在這統一的收費下,基本、白金和VIP 賬戶持有人可以享受顯著降低的交易成本。對於基本賬戶而言,美國股票期權的費用降低了33%,白金賬戶的費用降低了50%,而VIP客戶的費用則從每份合約的USD 0.85 降低到USD 0.75。合約期權(指數期權)的調整更大,基本和白金賬戶的費用從每份合約的USD 6降低到USD 2,或者從USD 3降低到USD 1,降幅達到66.67%。期貨期權的價格現在為基本賬戶USD 3,白金賬戶USD 2 及VIP賬戶USD 1,交易美國期貨的基本和白金客戶可享受50%和33%的折扣。新收費為我們的客戶提供了具有成本效益的交易環境。在此處查看完整的新收費。
這對您而言有多大影響? 讓我們通過幾個具體的期權策略示例來看看新收費的影響。我們先看一下股票的看跌(或看漲)垂直借方價差,這是一種非常常見的策略,涉及 2 邊(例如看跌期權價差由 1 個買入看跌期權和 1 個賣出看跌期權組成)。
舊收費(經典賬戶)
每邊的入場費用: USD 3
進入交易的總成本(2邊): 2 邊 × USD 3/邊 = USD 6
每份期權/每股入場成本: USD 6/100股 = USD 0.06/股
離開交易的成本: 假設成本不變,USD 0.06/股
新收費(經典賬戶)
每邊的入場費用: USD 2
進入交易的總成本(2邊): 2 邊 × USD 2/邊 = USD 4
每份期權/每股入場成本: USD 4/100股 = USD 0.04/股
離開交易的成本: 假設成本不變,USD 0.04/股
比較, 分析與總結
每股入場成本降低: USD 0.06(舊)- USD 0.04(新)= 每股節省USD 0.02
每股退出成本降低: 同樣,平倉時每股節省USD 0.02
來回交易總節省: 每股 USD 0.04(進場和退出合併)
現在假設您將在 QQQ(納斯達克 100 ETF)上買入 10 個此類借方價差,然後再次賣出(例如 ,在 50% 的止盈之後)。 在以上的示例中,一個借方價差的價格將花費 USD 1.79(基於實際的隨機策略)。
在舊收費下, 您將支付每股/期權 USD 0.06進入和 USD 0.06退出:每股/期權總計 USD 0.12,乘以 10 份合約和每份合約 100 份股票/期權,總金額 為 120 美元 。
在新收費下,您將每股/期權節省 USD 0.04,總成本削減至往返 USD 80(10 份合約)。
現在讓我們看一個不同的例子,其中白金賬戶的持有人在 SPX 指數上賣出一隻鐵禿鷹:
舊收費(白金賬戶)
進入交易的成本: 每張合約每邊USD 3 × 4邊 = USD 12
離開交易的成本: 與進入交易相同: USD 12
單份合約鐵禿鷹的總成本: USD 12(入場)+ USD 12(退出)= USD 24
新收費(白金賬戶)
進入交易的成本: 每份合約每邊USD 1 × 4邊 = USD 4
離開交易的成本: 與進入交易相同: USD 4
單份合約鐵禿鷹的總成本: USD 4(進入)+ USD 4(退出)= USD 8
在此示例中,每份合約所賺取的信用額為 USD 9.1。 比較新舊定價下的成本,白金賬戶持有人現在進入和退出單份合約鐵禿鷹的總費用減少了 USD 16,顯著提高了此類交易的盈利能力。
對於一個白金賬戶而言,一個10份合約的交易量並不罕見,在單筆交易(10份合約)上的節省在上述例子中可迅速累積到可觀的總額達USD160。
如果我們以上述鐵禿鷹的例子套用在 VIP賬戶上,我們得到以下結果:
舊收費(VIP賬戶)
進入交易的成本:每張合約每邊 USD 0.85 × 4邊 = USD 3.4
離開交易的成本:與進入交易相同: USD 3.4
單份合約鐵禿鷹的總成本: USD 3.4(入場)+ USD 3.4(退出)= USD 6.8
新收費(VIP賬戶)
進入交易的成本: 每張合約每邊 USD 0.75 × 4邊 = USD 3
離開交易的成本: 與進入交易相同: USD 3
單份合約鐵禿鷹的總成本: USD 3(入場)+ USD 3(退出)= USD 6
同樣,我們看到價格/佣金降低了 12%!
關鍵要點:
藉著以上的例子,以下是您作為交易者的主要優勢:
直接節省成本: 您的交易成本將顯著降低,使您的投資更加高效和具有成本效益。
更容易達成複雜策略:較低的佣金費用使高級策略,如鐵禿鷹和斷翅蝴蝶交易(以及許多其他多邊策略)等高級策略現在更容易實現。這打開了一個新的交易機會領域,因為這些機會在過去更為昂貴。
提高盈利能力: 隨著成本的降低,您的盈利能力可能會顯著提高,尤其是在涉及頻繁交易或多份合約的策略中。
多樣化的交易策略:執行各種策略的負擔能力使您能夠多元化交易方法,從而可能實現更好的風險管理和回報。
增強小型賬戶的實力:如果您使用的是小型賬戶,降低的收費使期權交易更具可行性,使您能夠更積極地參與市場。
增加流動性機會: 較低的交易成本可以鼓勵更高的交易量,從而可能為某些期權帶來更好的流動性。
提高學習曲線:在不高昂的佣金成本下嘗試不同策略有助於持續學習和技能發展,提升您的交易能力。。
活躍交易者的優勢:作為一位頻繁交易者,您會發現降低收費特別有助你的交易,使您能夠以更低的成本經常調整倉位。
推動市場創新: 新收費可能會開創新的交易策略和方法,因為像您這樣的交易者在這種成本結構下尋找最大回報的創造性方式。
改善交易體驗: 總體而言,這些變化可能會提高您對交易平台的滿意度和信心,因為您知道它支援更具成本效益的交易策略。
結論:交易效率的新時代
我們新的價格結構的引入不僅僅是數字的改變,它標誌著您期權交易的新時代的開始。通過顯著降低成本,我們不僅增加了您交易的盈利能力,而且為那些之前因高佣金費用而被阻礙的交易者打開了更廣泛的策略門戶。無論您是一位經驗豐富的交易者還是剛開始入門,好處是明顯的:更大的靈活性,增加的盈利潛力和對市場的更深入參與。這一變化體現了我們對您交易成功的承諾,提供一個將效率和機會融合在一起的平台。接受這一轉變,它是實現資產組合多元化和更大財務自由度的一個優秀的起點,實現您的交易愿望。
祝您交易愉快!
- Under the old pricing structure, you would pay 6 cents per share/option to enter and 6 to exit: 12 cents per share/option in total, multiplied by 10 contracts and 100 share/options per contract, totaling to an amount of USD 120.
- Under the new pricing structure, you would (as calculated above) save 4 cents per share/option, slashing the total cost to only USD 80 round-trip (for 10 contracts).
Now let's have a look at a different example where a holder of a Platinum account sells an iron condor on the SPX-index:
Old pricing structure
Cost to enter the trade: USD 3 per contract per leg × 4 legs = USD 12
Cost to exit the trade: Same as entry, USD 12
Total cost for a single contract iron condor: USD 12 (entry) + USD 12 (exit) = USD 24
New pricing structure
Cost to enter the trade: USD 1 per contract per leg × 4 legs = USD 4
Cost to exit the trade: Same as entry, USD 4
Total cost for a single contract iron condor: USD 4 (entry) + USD 4 (exit) = USD 8
In this example, the credit earned per contract is USD 9.10. Comparing the costs under the old and new pricing, a Platinum account holder now pays USD 16 less in total to enter and exit a single contract Iron Condor, significantly enhancing the profitability of such trades.
For a Platinum account a lot-size of 10 contracts would not be uncommon and savings on a single trade (of 10 contracts) quickly build up to considerable savings of USD 160 in the above example.
If we take the same iron condor example from above and look at the impact for a VIP account, we get the following outcome:
Old pricing structure (VIP account)
Cost to enter the trade: USD 1.50 per contract per leg × 4 legs = USD 6
Cost to exit the trade: Same as entry, USD 6
Total cost for a single contract iron condor: USD 6 (entry) + USD 6 (exit) = USD 12
New pricing structure (VIP account)
Cost to enter the trade: USD 0.75 per contract per leg × 4 legs = USD 3
Cost to exit the trade: Same as entry, USD 3
Total cost for a single contract iron condor: USD 3 (entry) + USD 3 (exit) = USD 6
Again, we see a considerable price/commission reduction of 50%!
Key Takeaways:
With the above examples fresh in our minds, these are the key advantages for you as a trader:
Direct cost savings: you'll see a noticeable reduction in your trading costs, making your investments more efficient and cost-effective.
Complex strategies are made more accessible: advanced strategies like Iron Condors and Broken Wing Butterflies (and many other multi-leg strategies) are now within easier reach, thanks to lower commission fees. This opens a new realm of trading opportunities that were previously more expensive.
Boosted profitability: with reduced costs, your profitability could see a significant boost, especially in strategies involving frequent trades or multiple contracts.
Diverse trading tactics: the affordability to execute a variety of strategies allows you to diversify your trading approach, potentially leading to better risk management and improved returns.
Empowering smaller accounts: if you’re working with a smaller account, these reduced rates make options trading more accessible, allowing you to participate more actively in the market.
Increased liquidity opportunities: lower transaction costs could encourage higher trading volumes, potentially resulting in better liquidity for certain options.
Enhanced learning curve: the ability to try different strategies without high commission costs promotes continuous learning and skill development, sharpening your trading acumen.
Advantage for active traders: as an active trader, you'll find these price reductions particularly beneficial, as they allow you to adjust positions frequently at a lower cost.
Stimulating market innovation: the new pricing may lead to novel trading strategies and methods, as traders like yourself find creative ways to maximize returns under this cost structure.
Improved trading experience: overall, these changes are likely to enhance your satisfaction and confidence in your trading platform, knowing that it supports more cost-effective trading strategies.
