Mike mentioned they are working to improve the search features here, I think Nicole addressed the question in Forums or Blogs some time ago. There are (were) three different products available to trade at TK - ISE FX options (these pairs are $ based), options on Rydex Currency Shares ETFs and PHLX exchange has/had listed FX options. PHLX was accuired by NASDAQ, not sure if the FX options survived the acquisition

To add to Old Fart's comments

If you go to the ISE website there is a plethora of educational information on their FX options.  I trade these exclusively if I trade FX options.  The spreads are decent and there is fairly good open interest on the strikes. I found not as much open interest in the ETFS.


 Because they are not traded 24 hours like spot FX they will often gap in the underlying if there is a big move afterhours.  I trade these for longer term moves or to hedge my spot FX account.  They also have some great technical trading webinars on their site.
