How to find what exchanges SPY options are traded on?

Question

Searching for "SPY options" on Google gets me to either the CBOE website or option chains websites like Yahoo Finance.

So I couldn't find an overview for all exchanges where SPY options are traded on. Is CBOE the only place? If not, where can I find this information?

Answer 2

I finally found a way to obtain this data for SPY options or any other security. It involves an account with Interactive Brokers and Trader Workstation installed locally. Steps:

1. Tap the "+" sing at the bottom of the screen
2. Select "Options Trading" from the layout library
3. Input "SPY" in the top-left input box
4. Click right on any option box, then "Financial Instrument Info", then "Details", and you will be redirected to the website below

As you can see, SPY options can be traded on AMEX, BATS, BOX, CBOE, CBOE2, EDGX, EMERALD, GEMINI, ISE, MERCURY, MIAX, NASDAQBX, PEARL, PHLX and PSE.

And you can repeat this process for any other security with an options chain available to trade on Trader Workstation.
