I am thinking of trading currency options with saxo bank just buing calls and puts instead of spot any suggestions?

Also i just had a look at currency warrants with sg bank but noticed that for a (Eur/Usd 5 June/ strike 1.15/ call) sg are quoting 66.50pence - 67.00 pence and saxo are quoting 0.1226pips - 0.1234 so why are people trading warrants they seem so expensive.

Why not trade currency options through the CME?
 
CME is an exchange, an organised market. Saxo is a FX dealer, each trade you make Saxo is on the other side, so your gain is their loss and vice versa. They can quote you pretty much whatever they want. This cannot happen on CME as there are multiple buyers and sellers all the time.
