Chicago based broker MetroTrade, founded by Tickmill co-founder Ingmar Mattus and former Crypto.com COO David Klotz, has announced the launch of options on futures trading, expanding its product offering and giving traders the ability to trade both futures and futures options within a single platform.

With this launch, MetroTrade clients will gain access to CME-listed options on futures markets directly through the MetroTrader platform. The addition provides traders with more flexibility to manage risk, hedge existing positions, and execute more advanced trading strategies.

Options on futures are derivative contracts that give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying futures contract at a predetermined price before expiration. These instruments are widely used by experienced traders to structure trades, manage exposure, and build multi-leg strategies.

Ingmar Mattus, co-founder of MetroTrade said,

“Options on futures are an important addition for traders who want more control over how they manage risk and structure trades. By bringing futures and futures options together in the same platform, we are making it easier for traders to access the full range of tools used in modern derivatives markets.”

The new offering will provide access to options on futures listed by the CME Group, including contracts tied to equity index, energy, metals, and more. Traders will be able to view and manage both futures and options positions within a single account interface.

According to David Klotz, President of MetroTrade, the launch reflects growing demand from experienced derivatives traders.

“Many active traders use both futures and options on futures as part of their strategy,” said Klotz. “Offering access to both products in one platform allows traders to move between markets more efficiently and manage their positions in a more streamlined way.”

MetroTrade is a retail futures brokerage focused on transparent pricing, competitive commissions, and technology designed for modern retail traders.
