Options On Currency

[shogun]

how would i go about trading put/call options on forex i have been looking on the web but apart from ig index i can find no other brokers who will trade forex options, i have been told that they trade on the NY exchange, but i can find nothing about forex the same goes for CBOE , ( lots about stocks and indexes )

if anybody knows where i can trade forex options , could you please let me know,

also does anyone know if there are ticker symbols for forex options like there are for stock & index options so i can check current prices, i use esignal.

Not exhaustive but....

The first link below is one that alludes to forex options that came from a list of posts from the last link ( Pick out those that refer to forex options since the search engine has mixed up forex iptions with forex results and option results.

Some companies offer them, but not online, only via phone dealing.
