Prior to 1973, options were traded on an unregulated basis, and did not have to adhere to the "fair and orderly markets" principle. In 1973, regulated options trading began at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Initially, the exchange traded call options on 16 underlying stocks. By 1975, options had become so popular that other securities exchanges began entering the business. Put options were introduced in 1977.
In 1977, the rapid growth of the derivative securities market prompted the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to place a moratorium on further options expansion pending an in-depth review. The review looked at the structure and regulatory procedures of all options exchanges and resulted in significant improvements in the customer protection area. The moratorium ended on March 26, 1980. Soon after, the number of traded options increased to 120, position limits were broadened, and strike price intervals were reduced.
