Forex option trading is a financial instrument, which serves for both, hedging and speculating. In the past, only the large financial institutions used to use Forex option trading for hedging. However, nowadays this type of trading is also available for individual Forex traders. Just like any other type of trading, option trading has advantages and disadvantages. For example, this financial tool is very liquid and at the same time naturally very risky. Forex option buyers are called holders, and option sellers are called granters.
