Part of Options Trading History
Prior to 1973,
options were traded on an unregulated basis, and did not have to
adhere to the "fair and orderly markets" principle. In
1973, regulated options trading began at the Chicago Board Options
Exchange. Initially, the exchange traded call options on 16 underlying
stocks. By 1975, options had
become so popular that other securities exchanges began entering
the business. Put options were introduced in 1977.
In 1977, the
rapid growth of the derivative securities market prompted the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) to place a moratorium on further
options expansion pending an in-depth review. The review looked
at the structure and regulatory procedures of all options exchanges
and resulted in significant improvements in the customer protection
area. The moratorium ended on March 26, 1980. Soon after, the number
of traded options increased to 120, position limits were broadened,
and strike price intervals were reduced.
In 1983, Leonard
Yates - himself an options trader - founded OptionVue Systems.
Taking advantage of the burgeoning personal computer revolution
and a penchant for programming, OptionVue pioneered the development
of options analysis software. In doing so, OptionVue simplified
the complexities of options trading and helped open the door for
individual investors to enter this market.
Today, OptionVue
Systems is the leader in options analysis software. Thousands of
people, spanning the globe and all levels of trading experience,
including a broad range of professional traders and institutions,
now
use
OptionVue
software.
