Forex Vs. Options | SigmaForex

Derivatives traders at the Chicago Board of Trade.Forex Vs. Options

Options are financial instruments that convey the right, but not the obligation, to engage in a future transaction on some underlying security. For example, buying a call option provides the right to buy a specified quantity of a security at a set strike price at some time on or before expiration, while buying a put option provides the right to sell. Upon the option holder's choice to exercise the option, the party who sold, or wrote, the option must fulfill the terms of the contract.

Types of options:

Exchange traded options (also called "listed options") is a class of exchange traded derivatives. Exchange traded options have standardized contracts, and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Since the contracts are standardized, accurate pricing models are often available. Exchange traded options include:

  1. Stock Options.
  2. Commodity Options.
  3. Bond options and other interest rate options.
  4. Index (equity) Options.
  5. Options on futures contracts.

Over-the-counter, or OTC options are traded between two private parties, and are not listed on an exchange. The terms of an OTC option are unrestricted and may be individually tailored to meet any business need. In general, at least one of the counterparties to an OTC option is a well-capitalized institution. Option types commonly traded over the counter include:

1) Interest rate options.
2) Currency cross rate options.
3) Options on swaps or swaptions.

Employee stock options are issued by a company to its employees as compensation.
