            Abstract : 
This paper conducts a comprehensive, systematic exposition about the options market, introduces the basic knowledge of continuous double auction mechanism, then discusses agents´ trading strategies that based on Zero-Intelligence-Plus algorithms, and simulate the options trading process by using the Swarm platform. After modeling and simulation, we find that the experimental results are in consistent with the actual market.
