Rates & Conditions

BID/ASK Spread and Autoexecution

DANA provides streaming prices for nearly 50 currency pairs with large strike ranges and long maturities. Clients have direct access to trade options on live prices without dealer intervention. There are no commissions on trading options. DANA always quotes both the bid and ask price, the current spread is always visible to the client.

The spreads on options may change from option to option depending on several factors such as time to maturity and the volatility of the underlying forex spot rate (Delta).

Exercise Procedure

Options that are 'in the money' are automatically exercised at 10:00 New York time (New York cut) on the day of expiry when they are converted to a spot position. This spot position is subject to the usual profit/loss if the spot price moves from the exercise price. If you already have an offsetting position at the time of exercise, the exercised position will be netted out on the following day. More

Margine Requirements

Margin requirements for option positions take into account changes in:

-Volatility
-Spot price of the underlying asset
-Open positions (that effectively reduce the risk associated with your options positions).

The margins for options are also subject to a volatility factor that may increase the margin requirements. This factor will be more prominent the longer the expiry date for the option.
