How do I set up my account for trading in Exchange Traded Options (ETOs)?

There are three steps to activating ETO trading on Australian shares:

  1. Log in to nabtrade using your User ID and Password.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Portfolios and accounts.
  3. Complete the Options Trading Questionnaire by navigating to the Permissions tab and selecting ETO Questionnaire. You need to score 100% in this assessment to proceed with activating options permissions on your account.
  4. Once you have passed the Questionnaire, apply for ETO permissions on your trading account by  navigating to Settings > Portfolios and accounts > Permissions tab and selecting Apply next to Exchange Traded Options.
  5. Once you have applied for ETO permissions you will be prompted to complete and post the Collateral Cover Authorisation form back to nabtrade. This form allows us to lodge your shares as collateral for your options positions with the ASX and it must be sent by post. Email and faxed copies are not accepted for this form.

IMPORTANT: All account holders must approve ETO trading on an account and sign the Collateral Cover Authorisation form. To approve ETO Trading, navigate to Settings and click on View on the Outstanding Actions banner.
