This is what you should know about FX options

Forex, or FX, involves trading one currency, such as the US dollar or Euro, for another at an agreed exchange rate. The forex market is the world’s largest market with round-the-clock trading and is highly speculative.

Forex products are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading forex with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how forex trading works and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
