We’re pleased to announce that New York Board of Trade commodity futures are now available for trading on the optionsXpress platform. NYBOT commodities, occasionally referred to as “tropical softs” or "food and fiber,” include futures on coffee, sugar, cocoa, cotton, and orange juice.
The NYBOT softs trade electronically on the state-of-the-art Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) platform, which means you’ll enjoy fast, reliable, cost-efficient access. Better still, these markets are open nearly 14 hours per day – perfect for night owls and early birds alike. If you’re looking to diversify your portfolio with commodities, or if you’re willing to assume greater risk in exchange for the possibility of greater rewards, NYBOT futures might be right for you.
For those of you who are always on the move, remember that our browser-based platform allows you to trade futures from anywhere. All you need is a computer and Internet connection – there’s no software to download or install. Plus, you can trade futures products right alongside stocks, equity options, bonds, and funds. All the products. One account. One platform. That’s optionsXpress.
Check out all the futures products now available for trading. There are more to come!
