Why more strike prices?

Beginning March 14, 2023, Cboe Nano options will list additional strike prices to new expirations. The additional strike prices give retail traders more options and greater flexibility in trading and managing risk.

Trade small before trading big

With additional Nano strike prices, build your confidence and consider trying out advanced trading strategies in the much smaller and lower-priced Nanos, before graduating to the larger SPX or XSP options. Keeping it simple, the strike intervals for Nanos will be similar to those in XSP, but the strike range will be narrower. 

Find the right strike for you

As markets move, additional strike prices give you the flexibility to hit the right strike price for your trading strategy. So go ahead, try out those trading strategies at that smaller price.
