Following the announcement that Thailand Futures Exchange is to launch options on the Set50 index, the stock exchange of Thailand’s subsidiary, SetTrade, is to offer traders access to its internet trading program, SetTrade OneClick.
Traders will be able to trade both futures and options with 15 brokers, using computer-aided analysis once the new options are launched on 29 October.
