Options Trading in Q3 at Schwab Up 72% Year-Over-Year SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amid continued strong growth in options trading, Charles Schwab & Co. announced today the launch of the Options Strategy Finder, a web-based tool designed to help options investors identify strategies that meet their specific investment objective. "Schwab is constantly investing in significant improvements to its options offer underscoring its commitment to this segment of the market -- from reductions in commissions this year to a host of platform upgrades and new functionality including more sophisticated, multi-leg options strategies," said Jeffrey M. Lyons, president, Active Trader at Schwab. "Whether an investor trades options three times a year or 30 times a month, this tool can help them evaluate both simple and more complex options strategies." Daily average options revenue trades at Schwab increased 72% in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the same period last year. This growth trend is reflected industry-wide with reported year-to-date options volume exceeding 1.18 billion contracts by the end of October, a 26.3% increase over the same point last year, according to The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). The Options Strategy Finder, which is accessible on schwab.com, presents investors with optimal potential trading strategies best tailored to their outlook on a particular security and their individual investing needs. It may also provide no strategies, implying that establishing a position on that particular security is not advisable at the current time. The tool, which also includes help screens arrives at the results by first prompting investors to answer six questions designed to evaluate the criteria of a specific security and the ultimate investment goal. Based on the investor's responses to the anticipated direction, magnitude, velocity, implied volatility, expected volatility and risk, the tool lists appropriate strategies. "The goal of the Option Strategy Finder is to help clients find the right strategy, more than finding just the right trade," Lyons emphasized.
