Trade Forex Options

By Hass67

Remember George Soros; the one who had broken the British pound and brought the Bank of England to its knees in the early 90s. George Soros made cool $1 Billion profit in a matter of few days by betting on the fact that the British pound was overvalued and Bank of England could not sustain its price for long.

He purchased $10 Billion of puts and calls forex options by gambling all the assets under his control as collateral on a single bet that in the end made history.

His knowledge of the currency markets was perfect. He was sure that his conviction that the Bank of England cannot sustain the overpriced British pound would come off right. Soon other currency speculators also joined. A huge selling pressure on British pound developed. Bank of England could not sustain the selling pressure too long and in a matter of 24 hours had to take British pound out of the European Monetary System and let it float freely.

British pound plummeted in the currency markets. George Soros had won his bet. He became famous as the man who broke the British pound with his pictures in all the famous newspapers and magazines.

Forex markets are huge. There are many ways to profit from the volatility in the forex markets. A number of trading vehicles are available for you to try in the forex markets.

As a retail forex trader you can trade any of these contracts: spot, futures and options. Forwards and swaps are two contracts that are also traded in the forex interbank market between large institutions like banks, corporations and hedge funds.

What are forex options? Options are derivative instruments that allow you to buy or sell an underlying asset at a price known as exercise price before or on a certain date called strike date. There is no obligation on you to actually buy/sell the currency like that in futures.

Currency is the underlying asset in forex options. You can purchase a forex options on payment of a certain premium. This is the price that you pay for getting the right but not the obligation to buy/sell a certain currency.

When will you profit from purchasing a forex options? If the market price of the currency is above/below your strike price, you can buy/sell that currency by exercising your option of buying/selling the currency at the strike price and make a decent profit.

In case, the market price is not above/below the strike price of your forex options contract, you can simply let the options contract expire. You only lose the premium that you had paid for purchasing the options.

There is a very good Non Directional Forex Options Trading Strategy that does not depend on the direction of the market. In other words you dont need to predict whether the currency price is going to go up or down and make your profit regardless.

This method is guaranteed to give you profits with an ROI of 30-50%. Try this method. It is risk free. - 23167
