In recent years, forex options trading is a kind of transaction, it is the complement of several original forex ways  . It offers customers a way to hedge forex, but also provides opportunity for customers to benefit from exchange rate movements,and it has greater flexibility. Forex  options trading is actually a rights sale. The rights of the buyer was entitled to in the future by a certain period of time agreed upon exchange rate to the rights of the seller (such as banks) agreed to buy or sell a amount of foreign currency . At the same time, the rights of the buyer also has the right not to implement the above mentioned sale and purchase agreement.

The options are divided into buy right and sell right.Buy right means the buyer of option to buy the right (power) the purchaser is entitled to in the future by a certain period of time agreed upon exchange rate to the bank agreed to buy a certain amount of foreign exchange; put option is the (power) the purchaser is entitled to a certain period of time in the future the exchange rate agreed to by the bank agreed to sell a certain amount of foreign exchange. Of course, in order to achieve the above-mentioned power to buy or sell options (power) to the buyer’s option (power) of the seller to pay certain fees, called the premium (PREMI-UM). Because the buyer had the option whether or not the future execution of the decision-making power, the option seller is assuming the future exchange rate fluctuations, risk, and insurance premiums to compensate for exchange rate risks may result in losses. This is in fact insurance options (power) prices.

 Decision option of prices there are three main factors, first, the length of the option; Second, the market spot exchange rate with the options agreed in the contract the difference between the exchange rate, and the third is the degree of exchange rate volatility is expected. Options in accordance with the time limit for the exercise of power can be divided into two categories: that is, European-style options and American options. European option is the only option the buyer of the option due date, the second working day before the exercise of the exchange rate according to the agreed sale of the power of a currency; and greater flexibility of American options, options can be the due date, the sale of any exercise of the powers of the day, so the cost of higher prices. At present, domestic banks only European-style options.

 The advantage of foreign exchange options is to lock the future exchange rate, foreign exchange hedge. Because of its greater flexibility to the favorable exchange rate movements in the direction of development, may also benefit from access to opportunities. However, the purchase option fee to be paid, if not to implement the option expires, it will increase the cost of doing business. For example: a company holding the hands of U.S. dollars, and the need to use the yen in one month after the payment of the purchase price of imports, in order to prevent exchange rate risks, the company to the bank to buy a “sell yen to buy dollars, a period of one month, the exchange rate agreement 132.12 “of the European option. The company will then have the right options in the future due to 1 USD = 132.12 yen to the number of banks agreed to buy the yen. If the option expires, the market spot exchange rate of 1 USD = 132.52 yen, then the company can not implement the option, because at this time according to the market spot exchange rate more favorable to buy yen. Conversely, if the option expires, 1 USD = 131.56 yen, the company may decide to exercise the options, and require banks to 1 U.S. dollars = 132.12 yen exchange rate will be sold to the company. It can be seen that the advantages of foreign exchange options business is flexible and selective customers, for those contracts have not yet been finalized with the import and export business of preserving and increasing the role of good.
