OBX Cabinet Trades
MX electronic trading platform allows executing cabinet trades on deep out-of-the-money OBX options. The cabinet trade concept applies only to individual OBX instruments, and not to strategies.
OBX cabinet trades are transactions to liquidate deep out-of-the-money OBX options by trading them at less than 0.01 point (or 1 tick or 1 basis point). The premium for an options cabinet trade must be in a 0.001 to 0.009 price range.
Below that 0.01 threshold, the system will automatically consider the option as being deeply out-of-the-money and will accept quotes in 1/10 of a tick (from 0.001 to 0.009 point). At or above the 0.01 threshold, the system will only accept quotes in 0.005 increments (i.e. 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, etc.).
