Option Trading - Developing An Option Trading System
Author: Jason Ng
There are 2 kinds of option trading systems in general; Discretionary and Mechanical.

A mechanical option trader is one who translates his knowledge of choosing stocks, entry and exit into objective rules.

Up until 2007, the only way to trade in currencies was through futures, and through forex market makers. Both involve a much greater degree of difficulty than simply trading in forex currency options. In futures, there is a great deal of risk. If your position moves against you, your loss can be potentially unlimited. In both futures and spot FX markets, you are tied to your trade 24 hours a day, watching and guarding against constant fluctuations.

As a result of this, the benefits come to the option holder much earlier than that in the initial vesting plan.
