Is it a future or an option? Both!

We're excited to announce we're working with the CME - the world's largest derivatives exchange - to teach our customers and everyone a little more about futures options and how they can be used.

Take a peek at this excerpt from a recent Barron's article highlighting some of the latest updates to our tools and features.

As a trader myself, I am always brainstorming with my colleagues and thinking of innovative tools and new ways to help give an edge to the optionsXpress user.

For example, check out the best features in our new chains. They are not only great for people getting their feet wet with options but also for veteran traders.

But we don't plan to rest on our laurels. We're just getting started. Stay on the lookout for new features on our chains and other product updates coming soon!

Simple steps can go a long way.

We are often asked about online security and what we do to protect accounts, especially with recent media reports about online fraud in the brokerage industry. optionsXpress is focused on prevention and detection, but our biggest hurdle is teaching our customers about the simple steps they can take to help prevent online fraud.

We've assembled some tips on our site, including checking your account routinely, changing passwords on a regular basis, keeping your computer platform and anti-virus software up-to-date, and most of all, staying informed about the latest internet hazards like "pharming"

The steps above take just minutes, but they could save you hours of time and many headaches in the long run.
