How to trade Currency Options?

Open to close, what do you expect an average change on the day is for EURUSD, for example?

OK so you mean that currencies by nature are less volatile so you get lower implied volatilies, i.e. lower premiums. Right?
 
Quote from MasterAtWork:

But the vol of vol is very high.

You mean that one day the implied volatility is like 5% and a few days later it shoots up to 20%?

Is that what you mean by "Vol of Vol" :confused:

Volatility moves much more than for equities for example. In a low volatility context, a marginal variation has a deep impact on every structures based on that kind of option. For example, 1 year implied volty was around 23% in march, and is currently aroud 13% for ATM vanilla options.
