[Feature Request ] US Options Trading

I’ve mentioned it before but I’d like to suggest that Freetrade reconsider implementing US options trading into the platform. This along with the ability to hold currency in dollars would be great. The popularity of options trading has grown exponentially in the US since Robinhood introduced it. While it can be seen as a a highly risky way to trade there are many ways you can protect your investments with options too as well as generating low but consistent returns from covered calls etc.
