WHAT ARE FOREX VANILLA OPTIONS?

BUY AN OPTION IF YOU THINK THE MARKET WILL BE VOLATILE, OR WILL HAVE A LARGE TREND.

A Vanilla Forex option is a derivative financial instrument that gives the owner the right but not the obligation to exchange a currency against another currency. (Ex: EUR/USD) at a pre-agreed exchange rate and at a specified date.

BUY A CALL OPTIONS

An investor would choose to buy a call option if his view on the underlying currency was that it was going to rise. Buying an option gives the holder the right (but not the obligation) to buy from the writer so many units of a currency at a specified price called the strike price.

BUY A PUT OPTION

An investor would choose to buy a put option if his view on the underlying currency was that it was going to fall. Buying a put options gives the holder the right (but not the obligation) to sell to the writer so many units of a currency at a specified priced called the strike price.

SELL AN OPTION IF YOU THINK THAT THE MARKET WILL NOT BE VOLATILE OR WILL BE TRENDLESS.

SELL A CALL OPTION

An investor would choose to sell a call option if his view on the underlying currency was that it was going to fall. The purchaser of the call option will pay the premium to the seller who will cash the premium. In the case the price closes below the agreed strike price, the seller will keep the premium.

SELL A PUT OPTION

An investor would choose to sell a put option if his view on the underlying currency was that it was going to rise. In this case, the investor (seller) will immediately cash the Premium and if the price closes above the agreed strike price, the seller will keep the premium.
