5 Ways to Strategize in Forex Options Trading

March 20, 2009 in Forex | No comments

One secret of many traders’ success in whatever type of financial trading market is their use of proven methods and strategies. In forex options trading, it is not different. Currency options trading allows for the use of a variety of option strategies, which are employed to engineer a risk profile to the underlying security’s movement.

One of these strategies is called the “butterfly spread”. This allows the trader to earn profit if currency price during the expiry date is close to the middle of the exercise price of the option. It also allows for smaller loses on the part of the trader. Another strategy similar to the butterfly spread is the “iron condor” strategy. This strategy allows for short options to make use of different strikes. This strategy offers a higher possibility of profit alongside a low net credit as compared to the butterfly spread. Another strategy is what traders call the “straddle”. This involves the selling of both a call and a put at the same exercise of option price. Selling a straddle allows for greater profit on the trader’s part if final price is near exercise price. However, it also allows for greater loss if movement is adverse to the trader’s forecasts. Like the straddle, the strategy called “strangle” is also made via a call and put but with different strike price. This in effect decreases the trade’s net debit as well as the possibility of profit. The last and most popular strategy in options trading is the “covered call”. This happens when a trader buys an option or sells a call. This strategy lowers the trader’s risk since his options are covered by other positions. Although the profit is limited, the loss is also controlled.

What are the Difference Between Short Call and Short Put?

March 18, 2009 in Forex | No comments

There are two styles in carrying out traditional options, the European and the American styles. The option in the European style may be exercised only on the expiry date while American style allows for the option to be exercised on or before the expiry date. The American style is more commonly used in Forex options trading and employs four basic types of trades. Two of these trading types are the “short call” and the “short put”. Call in trading lingo means buy and put means sell.

A short call is when an investor foresees that the value of the currency pair may go down and thus sells short the currency pair or “writes” or “grants” a call. An investor who decides to sell a call is obliged to sell the currency pair to the call buyer at the latter’s option. If the currency value indeed decreases, the call position earns a profit via the premium. If it however increases more than the exercise price and the premium amount, the short loses an unlimited amount.

The short put in currency options trading, on the other hand, is when the trader predicts an increase in the currency pair’s value and buys the pair or sells a put. He becomes obliged to sell the pair if the buyer exercises his option to buy. Upon the expiry date and the value of the currency is greater than the exercise value, the short put makes money through the premium. If however the currency value upon the expiry date is less than the exercise value by more than the premium amount, the traders loses an unlimited sum of money.
