TradingView adds TAIFEX options data to Supercharts

TradingView has added Taiwan Futures Exchange options data to Supercharts, expanding the Taiwanese derivatives available in its charting workspace. The 21 October announcement covers TAIEX options across weekly, monthly and quarterly series.[1]

The addition includes monthly options on the Electronics and Finance sector indices, plus contracts linked to individual stocks such as TSMC, ETFs including Yuanta Taiwan Top 50, and gold.[1]

This builds on the July 2023 addition of TAIFEX futures data. The new coverage allows users already following those markets to bring options into their analysis without treating the latest announcement as a first connection to the exchange.[2]

The general Options symbol search uses TAIFEX:. In Supercharts, lookup follows the underlying: TAIFEX: for gold, and TWSE: for stocks, indices and ETFs. The update concerns data access and identifies no new execution connection.[1]

Reading a quote requires the contract scale

For TAIEX options, the exchange specifies a multiplier of NT$50 per index point and European-style exercise. A quoted premium of 100 points therefore represents NT$5,000 for one contract before fees and other charges. That is the option premium, not the value of the underlying index exposure.[4]

Expiry selection also changes the period being analysed. TAIFEX lists weekly Wednesday and Friday expiries, while monthly and quarterly contracts expire on the third Wednesday of their delivery month. Comparing prices across series therefore requires matching the expiry as well as the strike and option type.[4]

TradingView’s coverage directory lists a 15-minute delay for the free TAIFEX feed, with real-time access sold separately. Quote timing is consequently a separate consideration from whether a contract is available in search, particularly when comparing an option with its underlying market.[3]
