Forex Profit | Forex Market Speculation

Of the $3.2 trillion that is traded daily on the forex market, an estimated 80% of it is done purely for profit. A profit making motive may sound obvious to many people. Why else would anybody trade on this market other than a forex trading profit? In order to understand why this is a big deal, you have to understand the essence of why the market exists in the first place.

Forex options trading works very similar to options in the stock market. You buy an option from a seller with a set price and expiration date. In the forex market you might buy an option for USD/CAD at 1.05 to expire in 30 days. If the USD/CAD breaks to 1.07, then you would exercise the option to buy at 1.05. You would then sell for 1.07 for a nice profit. If it doesn’t break out of 1.05 by the expiry date, than the only thing you lose is the premium.
