JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Moomoo's 28 million investors worldwide gained immediate access to Nasdaq's newly launched Monday and Wednesday weekly options today, as the investment platform rolled out the expanded expirations on day one. The move delivers trading flexibility, allowing users to align options strategies more precisely with market events and opportunities. As a global strategic partner of Nasdaq, Moomoo celebrated the introduction of these groundbreaking products by livestreaming an exclusive discussion for its global community, featuring Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo US, and Tanya Patwa, Head of U.S. Options Sales, Nasdaq. The conversation provided cutting-edge insights into these newly available options and the evolving options trading landscape.
This launch follows recent SEC approval for Nasdaq to expand options expirations for a premier group of high-profile securities. The list extends beyond the so called "Magnificent Seven" stocks and includes nine major names: Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), Broadcom (AVGO), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) — beyond the standard Friday expiry. This move offers traders more granularity and flexibility, aligning single-stock options closer to the daily expirations seen in major indices.
Neil McDonald of Moomoo said, "We witnessed an explosion in options trading interest throughout 2025. Our data shows the number of options transactions surged 86% year-over-year. The introduction of Monday and Wednesday options is perfectly timed. Retail investors are savvy; when provided with proper training, access, and advanced toolkits, they are fully equipped to capitalize on market opportunities."
User sharing in Moomoo community showcases that options are more than just speculative tools. Users actively leverage options to lock in entry costs, enhance profit potential, capitalize on market swings, and build a steady income strategy.
Unlocking New Strategies with Enhanced Flexibility
The new expirations unlock more strategic possibilities for traders of all levels.
- For fundamental traders, they can now align options strategies more precisely with key market events like earnings reports or economic data releases.
- For income-focused strategies like Covered Calls or Cash-Secured Puts, traders can potentially amplify premium collection by increasing trade frequency from once (with Friday options) to three times a week.
- And for sophisticated 0DTE (0 Days to expiration) options traders, these expirations enable them to strategically position themselves to either benefit from, or protect against, the amplified gamma-driven price accelerations these very contracts can create.
Moomoo supports this strategic depth by offering up to 13 built-in options strategies, from basic to advanced, allowing for both simplicity and customization.
Moomoo's Powerful Toolkit Demystifies Options Trading
With greater choice comes the need for greater awareness. The enrichment of expiration cycles makes key options metrics like Implied Volatility (IV) more granular and event-sensitive. Traders must be mindful of risks, such as gamma exposure, especially around the expiration of short-dated options.
To help traders navigate this dynamic environment confidently, Moomoo provides an industry-leading suite of intuitive, real-time tools:
- The Options Chain: Presents all available contracts for a stock or an ETF, sorted by expiration date and strike price. It displays key real-time data—including premiums, volume, Greeks, and IV—for calls and puts, enabling quick opportunity and risk assessment.
- The Options Price Calculator: Allows investors to model how an option's theoretical price may change based on the three key factors: time to expiry, underlying stock price, and IV. This helps in evaluating the reasonableness of a current price and planning entry/exit timing.
Beyond powerful technology, Moomoo is committed to investor education, offering free comprehensive online courses designed to sharpen options trading skills for beginners and advanced traders alike within its global community of over 28 million investors.
"The historic launch of Monday and Wednesday options signals a trend toward more frequent expirations, making trading more accessible and responsive," Neil McDonald concluded. "Moomoo is proud to be a driving force in this new era. We will continue to partner with exchanges like Nasdaq and equip our users with the best tools and education to navigate the markets effectively."

A New Era in Options Trading! Moomoo Partners with Nasdaq to Deliver Monday & Wednesday Expirations for Greater Flexibility and Opportunity
As a Full-Scale Manufacturer of Core Components for Commercial Outdoor Units, LG Electronics Drives Efficiency, Flexibility and Simplified Service
News Summary:
- LG Electronics showcases total HVAC component solutions for commercial rooftop systems at AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas.
- Comprehensive lineup includes scroll compressors, EC motors, EC fans and drives, all developed with LG's proprietary technologies.
- Integrated, single-provider component model improves system compatibility, reliability and service efficiency.
- Solutions are designed to meet upcoming U.S. DOE energy efficiency standards and refrigerant transition requirements effective in 2029.
- Flexible compressor configurations support capacity ranges up to 70 tons and optimize real-world, partial-load performance.
SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) will reveal its total component solutions for commercial heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) rooftop units at AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A., from February 2-4.
LG's component business provides integrated capabilities through a comprehensive lineup that includes scroll compressors, electronically commutated (EC) motors, EC fans and drives. Built on LG's proprietary core technologies, the wide range of core components from LG Component Solutions strengthen the company's position as a leading global provider in the HVAC industry.
LG's vertically integrated approach to design and manufacturing delivers end-to-end HVAC component solutions that improve system compatibility, reliability and long-term performance. By sourcing critical components from a single-provider, customers benefit from simplified system design and streamlined maintenance and service through one reliable point of contact. The lineup includes large scroll compressors ranging from 6 to 27.5 refrigeration tons (RT), along with fan motors, EC motors and drives designed for efficient integration in commercial rooftop systems.
The company's advanced component solutions are proactively aligned with upcoming energy-efficiency and refrigerant transition regulations for commercial and residential HVAC systems in North America, set to take effect in 2029. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced stricter standards that prioritize real-world, partial-load operating conditions over conventional full-load capacity metrics – driving fundamental changes in product design. LG offers a complete commercial component lineup across refrigerant types and power supply configurations while maintaining consistent capacity levels. This approach provides customers with greater flexibility during the transition and enables equipment replacement without requiring a full system redesign.
With flexible tandem and trio[1] configuration options, LG's scroll compressors extend capacity coverage up to 70 tons. A parallel design supports extended capacity and strong efficiency at partial loads, while a combination of fixed-speed and two-stage compressors delivers a 12- to 27.5-ton capacity range suited to diverse commercial rooftop needs.[2]
LG's fixed-speed scroll compressors incorporate enhanced motor efficiency and refined bearing designs that reduce friction, resulting in reliable performance. Two-stage scroll compressors provide added flexibility by modulating between 67 and 100 percent capacity,[3] sustaining optimal performance as operating conditions change.
Complementing the compressor lineup, LG is also introducing large-scale EC fans designed for increased efficiency and durability. An optimized structure design mitigates airflow resistance, while reinforced fan construction reduces energy loss and supports demanding commercial applications. LG's proprietary EC motor technology further enhances efficiency, low-noise operation and intelligent system control.
"Our total component solutions empower customers to develop more efficient and reliable commercial HVAC systems while simplifying service and maintenance," said Kim Cheol, head of the Component Solution Business at the LG Electronics Home Appliance Solution Company. "By providing a broad portfolio of core components from a single, trusted source, we continue to advance customer-focused innovation and demonstrate our long-term commitment to sustainable and forward-thinking HVAC solutions."
Visitors to AHR Expo 2026 can explore total component solutions for commercial HVAC rooftop units at LG Component Solution booth from February 2-4 (#SU234, Las Vegas Convention Center), directly next to the LG Air Conditioning Technologies booth (Booth #SU223), where showcasing its latest product innovations and an expanded portfolio of advanced HVAC solutions for both commercial and residential applications in the United States.
