Hello Mike and Company

have searched and found nothing of sorts related to fx options, so here goes. (doing spot most of the time)
Fx options seems quite "elusive"?
Have not even seen the "orders/tables" for fx options before. Unlike stock options where it can be viewed on yahoo finance.


Anyone here has a head start / crash course for me to work on?

Things like
- which broker offers it
- is it traded through a centralized exchange?


or is it even available to retailers?

Cheers~

Yes, you can trade FX Options through ThinkOrSwim. There are 6 fx options that I trade; XDA, XDB, XDC, XDE, XDN, and XDS. I will let you research on what currency is which (some are pretty intuitive if you think about it

NASDAQ OMX PHLXSM offers U.S. dollar-settled options on the Australian Dollar (XDA), British Pound (XDB), Canadian Dollar (XDC), Euro (XDE), Japanese Yen (XDN), Mexican Peso (XDM), New Zealand Dollar (XDZ), Norwegian Krone (XDV), South African Rand (XEV), Swedish Krona (XEH) and Swiss Franc (XDS).

Beside these Nasdaq currency options, there are also currency options on ISE and on the CME options trade on their currency futures.

Hi Jura, do all these 3 organisations (nasdaq, ise, cme) have a common price/strike price/levels?
or are the prices quoted by each organisation slightly different?
