JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The intuitive investment and trading platform moomoo today announced findings of its 2024 options trader survey, completed in collaboration with Cboe Global Markets (Cboe). The survey found that options trading has become more popular than ever as more retail investors have gravitated towards basic options strategies in the past few years. Many are now seeking to expand their trading to include new strategies and products, while some cite a lack of knowledge as the main barrier to options trading – highlighting an opportunity to enhance investor education and drive even greater participation.
Many retail traders were first exposed to options trading during the pandemic and are still at the beginning stages of their education. 67% of those surveyed have been trading options for less than three years. However, 49% of surveyed investors trade options on either a daily or weekly basis and 43% trade Zero Days-to-Expiration (0DTE) options.
Moomoo surveyed over 1,000 users at the end of the third quarter of 2024 to learn which customers are trading options regularly, their sentiment towards options, and the resources and tools they are utilizing to trade options. Cboe provided data to help further enhance and support many of the unique insights uncovered by the survey.
The recent surge in options trading is driven by decreasing fees and spreads, improved access to financial information and powerful analytical and educational tools. Income generation is the top reason (67%) why people trade options, followed by risk management. Many options traders are active on a daily or weekly basis and looking for the best possible, real-time information and competitive fee structures to elevate their trading. Surveyed investors also expressed a strong interest in options education to build their knowledge and comfort levels to succeed in options trading.
"Interest in options trading is at an all-time high. As a seasoned derivatives trading veteran, I'm thrilled to see retail investors are entering the space, using rich data and tools. At moomoo, we are committed to providing the best education resources to help the retail investment community," said Neil McDonald, CEO, Moomoo US.
