Learn about derivatives before you begin trading
Before you engage in trading futures and options, it is important to understand how these financial instruments are used and what factors influence their pricing.
Contact your bank or brokerage firm
Trading is conducted via a bank or a brokerage firm that is authorized to trade derivatives at OMX. When you want to trade derivatives, contact your bank or brokerage firm which then places the order in the exchange trading system for execution. There are also internet brokers – here you can put your order on the broker website and it is then automatically executed in the exchange trading system.
Customer agreement
Before you begin trading futures and options, you need to have an agreement with your bank, a so-called customer agreement. Among other things, the customer agreement includes information about the account opened with the OMX Derivatives Markets for the registration of trades.
Collateral
If you issue options or buy/sell futures, you are required to post collateral with your bank or investment company. You don’t have to post collateral when you buy options. To enable you to post collateral, your bank or brokerage firm opens a cash account and/or a deposit account, and you must ensure that the balance does not fall below the requirement calculated by OMX. When the contract expires, the collateral amount deposited for that contract will be refunded to you.
