Forex Options Trading

Forex options trading is an appealing alternative to regular, or "spot forex trading" thanks to its limited risk together with its ability to magnify returns by utilizing leverage.

Nevertheless, it comes with all the usual peculiarities associated with options trading, such as time decay, exercise price, implied volatility and expiration dates.

Regular forex trading is a highly leveraged way of trading foreign currencies, with ratios per unit of investment ranging from 100:1 up to 400:1. With this kind of leverage, a strong move against you can realize a loss that is greater than your initial investment.
