Forex market investors trade currency pairs, i.e. assets that you directly own. This is called spot trading. When you trade options, you are trading a contract on an asset. Options are called asset derivatives. So you can actually trade options on Forex currency pairs. Options have properties not possessed by assets and can be used to conduct complex transactions between buyers and sellers at the same time. Options can also lose money faster than assets.
