Frankfurt, one of the world's first stock exchanges, became a leader among eight German stock exchanges already in the middle of the 20th century by serving 90% of the German market today.
Frankfurt Stock Exchange takes the position of the world's third largest stock market and the world's sixth largest by market capitalization. Although FSE exercises some traditional broker-supported floor trading, most of the trading is done via the fully electronic trading system Xetra that enables 15 countries trading on a single platform. With the location-independent system, even 47% of the FSE's market participants come from abroad.
With current 79 index funds, FSE has the largest range of exchange traded funds in Europe. An investor has a choice of 55 passively managed index funds and 24 actively managed funds to trade in. Unlike classical funds, the prices of the FSE's exchange traded funds are determined every minute in continuous trading and orders are exercised immediately.
Naked options trading is very risky - many people lose money trading them. It is recommended contacting your broker or investment professional to find out about trading risk and margin requirements before getting involved into trading uncovered options.
