Options: Pros and Cons<\/h1>\n

Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flexibility<\/p>\n

Limited risk<\/p>\n

Buying options limits your exposure. The maximum you can lose is the value of the option, the price you paid for it.<\/p>\n

Purchasing options as a speculative vehicle offers limited downside — you cannot lose more than the price you paid for the option — and unlimited upside, at least on a call. If you purchase a put, your profit is technically limited to the underlying currency going to zero.<\/p>\n

The cost of the option may be less than the margin on the same spot position.<\/p>\n

Hedging<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n

High costs<\/p>\n

Liquidity<\/p>\n

You pay for the time value of an option. In spot forex, other than rollover charges (typically small), you do not pay for the time you hold a position.<\/p>\n

Complexity<\/p>\n

Time decay<\/p>\n
