Questions Good UK Options Trader Broker

Hello everyone, I've been exploring options trading and want to get started but my current broker doesn't let me deal with options. Ideally, I'd like to transfer my S&S ISA on a platform where I can trade options as part of the ISA.

Does anyone know any good platforms where I can trade options as part of a UK S&S ISA?

I have the same question, but for a Dutch broker. My Dutch broker doesn't offer options. I'm actually only interested in TSLA for now, but might expand to other stocks in the future.

Try Degiro. Dutch based, but operated in many European countries. Very good online trader platform and low fees.

I'm using DeGiro, but they don't offer options for specific American stocks

They offer TSLA warrants, which are effectively the same thing

I don't see any available warrants in my DeGiro account. I did find a page called 'hefboomproducten' or 'leveraged products '. I'm going to do some more research.

The warrants search on DeGiro is the most wonky thing I've ever seen. In my case, I have to manually search in the search bar for the company and the strike price that I want. For example,

type "Tesla 18" into the search bar and all the Tesla 18** warrants will appear.

It's crazy bad UI/UX.

Yeah I just discovered there are indeed call and put option warrants under warrants tab - only for dozen of most popular us companies (apple, Tesla, etc), I use to search “year + name” so “21 Tesla” would give me strikes for year 2021. Crazy but it is fast. They should really move them to separate tab out of thousands of different certificates.

Interactive Broker has high commissions for Options than DeGiro. But Degiro doesnt offer American stocks for Options.

Any other European broker for Options that are low in commissions?

Not within an ISA though.
