Where to Trade

Please note that UKForex does not facilitate speculative trading. 

Generally seek to avoid trading with someone that has simply "cold called" you. Instead, use a reputable broker or bank as your forex option counterparty. Do your homework by ensuring that you are trading with a well-rated counterparty that has solid references and a trustworthy background.

To trade larger face amounts above $200,000, you can often access the OTC currency option market via most international banks. Alternatively, if you need a smaller face amount, or if you want to make sure that you are getting a market price on a standardized contract, then you can transact currency options using U.S. exchanges such as the Chicago IMM and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.

To transact these exchange-traded forex options, you will first need to set up a relationship with a brokerage company that can execute the option trades on your behalf. You will then need to select a currency pair, contract month, and strike price from among the available series and determine how to place an order.  Remember to ask around so that you can be assured of using a counterparty that has a good reputation for fairness, reliability and good price executions.

Furthermore, many companies have claimed that you can earn substantial returns from trading currency options. This may sound wonderful to the novice option trader, but seasoned option and forex traders are aware that almost nothing in the market is certain and that “sure bets” generally do not exist. Unless you are a professional currency options trader who already has an established option trading strategy, it can make good sense to speak to a financial advisor to ensure that taking positions in currency options is right for your risk tolerance and portfolio.
