Check to see if they are American or European style options. I <em>think</em> both might be available for S&P 500 future options, so check with your broker. The basic difference between the two is: European options may be exercised only at the expiration of the option. American options may be exercised at any time before expiration. The options I blog about are American options. Tosin, I don’t trade futures options, so can’t give you a clear answer. Check to see if they are American or European style options.
