Ok after searching around a lot I have come to the sad conclusion that you either have to go through the long process of registering with a US broker like IB or OptionsXpress to trade options or go with UK spread betting firms to trade their rather, how should I put it, "hybrid" options.
Now I don't have $10,000 on me to register with IB (which is their minimum) so I'll go with spread betting firms for now.
So How legit are the options offered by spread betting firms? As instead of trading contracts it seems you're trading "pounds per point"!
Anyone have any experience with these and are there any differences in terminology? Also are spread betting options American or European style in terms of freedom to execute before the expiration?
