CHICAGO, March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex), has launched gold and crude oil knock-out option contracts, giving traders a new way to speculate on volatility in underlying commodity markets. Contracts will automatically close – or get 'knocked out' – if the underlying market price reaches the upper or lower knock-out level giving traders a new way to access price movement in the underlying commodity markets with a built-in trading plan providing fixed risk and a predefined profit target. Traders can also exit positions early, offering flexibility and choice.

"Members asked for gold and crude oil knock-out options – we've listened and delivered, listing new contracts that traders really want," says Ian Peacock, Chief Executive Officer at Nadex. "This is a unique opportunity to trade short-term contracts that are unique to Nadex, based on some of the world's most popular markets, within a CFTC-regulated environment."

Our new knock-out option contracts will enhance our offering and allow our members to find new opportunities on the ever-popular gold and crude oil markets.
