Abstract. In this article we study options on a traded account. In terms of the actions available to the buyer, the options we study are more general than a class of options known as {\em passport options}; in terms of the model of the underlying asset they are more restrictive. Using probabilistic techniques, we find the value of these options, the optimal strategy of the buyer, and the hedging strategy the seller should use in response to a (not necessarily optimal) strategy by the buyer.
