If you’re new to trading you may be a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of markets and products you can trade, from basic stocks and ETFs to traditional options and Forex. And now there’s a new kid on the block, binary options. So what is a binary option ? Binary options are basically a way of simplifying trading They get their name because there are only two possible outcomes to each trade, you either make a predetermined profit or you make a loss and have to cover the cost of the trade. If you’re new to trading, binary options are a great way to learn due to their simplicity. You don’t need to deposit several thousand dollars to start and you can make significant profits just trading part time. They are not a get rich quick scheme however, this is not gambling. You need to learn how to trade properly to be successful. How Do You Trade Binary Options?
You buy binary options from a binary options broker, they’re not available from mainstream brokers like E*TRADE as yet. Binary options are only available in a limited number of underlying assets but they cover most of the mainstream indices and currency pairs. When you buy a binary option you first need to choose your underlying asset, let’s say you want to trade the S&P500. You think that the S&P500 is going to rise the following day so you purchase a call option. A call option means you think the price will rise and a put option means you think the price will fall. You now need to decide how much you want to invest most binary option brokers start at $1 and go up to $1000 per trade. Once you’ve decided how much to invest you now need to decide over what time frame. Most binary options are set to expire in 1 hour but you can purchase other time frames from 1 day to 1 week if you wish. So you’ve decided you’re going to risk $50 on your S&P500 trade, you purchase 50 calls which will expire in 1 hour. These options come with a profit of 80% and refund rate of 5%, these values are decided when you purchase the option so you know exactly how much you’re going to win or lose. That means that if you’re right and after 1 hour the value of the S&P500 is at or above the price at which you bought the option you win $90 ($50 + 80% = $90). If you’re wrong however and the value has fallen bellow your purchase price, you have to cover the cost of the trade less the refund rate which in this case is 5% so you lose $47.50. Trading binary options is no harder than making an old fashioned bet, you choose an underlying asset, in this case we chose the S&P500. You decide where you think the market is headed and you purchase the corresponding options. If you’re right more times than you’re wrong you can make a significant income using binary options. And best of all you don’t have to spend all day monitoring the markets, a quick check every hour or so is all that’s required.

Try to research binary options, and that’s most of what you’ll find. The material I found was from option brokers themselves or those promoting them, and was more focused on marketing than on providing an objective look at binary options, when and for whom they may be appropriate. Full Disclosure – I provide analysis for anyoption. com. Like most rational adults, I gave up believing in get rich quick schemes shortly after I abandoned belief in Santa Claus and that Mom was still a virgin. Despite the dubious claims, binary options have many legitimate applications as a complement or substitute to traditional spot market instruments. The industry is growing fast for the same reason anything becomes popular, it meets a legitimate. When first learning about binary options (BOs), I couldn’t find any decent objective review of binary options’ advantages and disadvantages that made clear when and for whom they are appropriate.
The following is the product of my own research and analysis to answer that need. I believe you’ll find it very helpful and objective despite my affiliation with the industry. I’d be very grateful if any reader can recommend other good sources of information on binary options that make a good faith effort to educate rather than sell. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION. Used for years by large institutions and their clients in the over the counter market (OTC), binary options (aka DigitalFixed ReturnAll-Or-Nothing Options) debuted on the Chicago Board Of Options Exchange in July 2008, and have been available to online individual traders from a growing number of brokers only over the past few years. This partially explains the lack of good objective material on them. In the following article we’ll: Provide basic background information for those who need it Examine the truth behind typical binary option broker claims Describe and analyze binary options’ advantages and disadvantages in greater detail Consider when, and for whom, they may or may not be appropriate Basic Background. Here’s a brief overview of options in general and the key differences between standard and binary options. Those already familiar with them can skip to the next section. Options Basics Reviewed. An option is a right but not an obligation to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price for a fixed period. There are 2 kinds of options. A call option is right but not an obligation to buy an asset at a fixed price (called the strike price) during a fixed period, the end of which is called the “expiration date.” When the price of the asset is higher than the strike price, the call option is “in the money (NYSEARCA:ITM).
” The more the option is in the money, the higher the price of the call option. If the underlying asset’s price is lower than the strike price, the option is “out of the money (OTM).” Depending on how much time is left before expiration, an OTM call option may still has some value and can be sold for only a partial loss. If the OTM call option is held until the time of expiration, it is worth nothing. Traders buy call options to profit from a rise in price. A put option right but not an obligation to sell an asset at a fixed price (called the strike price) during a fixed period that ends on the expiration date. When the price of the asset is lower than the strike price, the put option is “in the money(ITM).” The more the option is in the money, the higher the price of the put option. If the underlying asset’s price is higher than the strike price, the option is “out of the money (OTM).” Depending on how much time is left before expiration, an OTM put option may still have some value and can be sold for only a partial loss. If the OTM put option is held until the time of expiration, it is worth nothing. Traders buy put options to profit from a drop in price.
For more on options basics there’s a wealth of free material online. Just use search terms like: Options AND introduction. Options AND beginners. Options AND “guide to” Binary Options Vs. Standard Options And Traditional Spot Market Instruments. As its name implies, a binary option (BO) is a type of option for which there are only 2 possible outcomes, a fixed gain if the option expires “in the money”, or a fixed loss if the option expires “out of the money.” Here are the main differences between standard, options and binary options. VARIABLE VS. FIXED TIME FRAME. Exit Standard Options At Any Time: Unlike other spot market instruments, options have a fixed maximum life the ends on the expiration date. However with a standard option you can close your position at any time prior to the expiration of the option to take profits or cut losses. Exit Binary Options Only At Expiration: With most binary options you typically can’t exit before expiration, though this is changing.
At least one broker anyoption. com, traders allow this with certain assets under certain circumstances. There may well be others that also offer the option of an early exit. VARIABLE VS. FIXED RETURNS. As their name implies: With standard options: gains or losses can vary with how much the price of the underlying asset has moved by the time you close your position. Thus monitoring and planning your exit to maximize profits or cut losses is just as important as planning your entry point. You need to consider a variety of factors like support and resistance, momentum indicators, news and other new fundamental data, in order to decide how far you’ll let the price move for or against you before taking profits or cutting losses. With binary options: gains and losses are fixed, regardless of how much the option is ITM or OTM . If the binary option is ITM, your profit is typically about 70% (depending on the specific asset and broker), no matter how small the movement in the underlying asset’s price . If price went against you as of the close of the position, your loss is typically around 85%, again regardless of how much the asset was OTM. THESE DIFFERENCES CREATE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BINARY OPTIONS. We’ll discuss these in depth in chapters 3-5. Here’s the short answer. Standard spot market instruments and plain vanilla options offer more flexibility, and thus potentially greater profits andor lower risks, at a cost of greater complexity.
Only a small group of elite traders manage to master that complexity and succeed. Specifically, in addition to correctly forecasting price movements over a given period (no small feat by itself) spot market trading demands considerable skill and discipline need for: Planning when to get in and when to get out: understanding how to set entry and exit points in order to keep losses from losing trades far lower than gains from winning trades Risk and money management: In addition to understanding how to identify low risk entry and exit points, understanding how much cash to risk on any given trade, how to identify and stop losing streaks, keep emotions out of trading, etc. Executing the above 2 processes. That demands firm discipline and the ability to stick to one’s plans and rules and keep emotions out of trading even when money is at stake. Easier said than done. The entire trading process involves about 10 steps, (more if you include keeping a proper journal of your trades and studying it to learn from your mistakes) which we discuss and illustrate in Chapters 3-4, each of which requires education and practice to execute successfully. Most traders lose both their capital and confidence within a few years, before they’ve had enough education and experience. Be it due to lack of skill, patience, or will, they don’t survive long enough to master these 10 steps. In contrast, binary options’ fixed payout and time frame reduces the trading decision process to 3 steps (again excluding the keeping of a trading journal), allowing traders to focus on forecasting the trend during the life of the option. That simplicity makes it easier to succeed. That simplicity is critical for both new traders or those who struggle to be profitable with standard spot market trading. Trend forecasting isn’t always simple, but is quite achievable, especially if one is selective in choosing both. Both of these require solid skills in technical and fundamental analysis.
Getting these is a matter of some study and practice. This process can be a matter of weeks or months rather than years, at least if one learns to identify and stick to relatively simple trading situations that only require basic analytical skills. This simplified trading process allows traders to focus on developing their ability to identify strong trends when they exist, forecast price movements, and avoid most of the exit planning, risk, and money management issues which, if mishandled, can wipe out traders’ capital and confidence before they’ve had the time needed to develop. Thus traders who are either new or still struggling to be profitable should strongly consider trading via binary options as a more rewarding way to ease into trading. While selections for individual stocks are limited, most major indexes, forex pairs, and commodities are available around the clock at the better binary options brokers. The elite traders (we’re not talking about longer term investors) who are consistently profitable each year with spot market instruments and standard options will probably want to stick to what’s working for them and probably will prefer the added flexibility and potentially better rewardrisk that they are skilled and disciplined enough to exploit with what their accustomed to trading. While these stars should be hesitant to deviate from what works for them, they should consider that : Traders who are already successful at the more complex instruments may get even better returns with the simpler trading of binary options. Binary options were first used exclusively by the top tier institutional and high net worth traders, because even they needed binary options. Why? Binary options can be a potent tool to complement their usual trading. The simpler, shorter decision making process allows even the top traders to establish positions much faster, with more clearly defined risk. That ability to trade faster can be critical when prices are moving fast and opportunities vanish quickly. That simplicity may also lead to better risk management for these stars, because it’s easy to hedge a primary position with a binary option.
Thus even when traders are too fatigued or preoccupied to hedge a position via their usual instruments, they can quickly hedge and cut risk with binary options. CHAPTER 2: A LOOK AT COMMON BINARY OPTION BROKER CLAIMS. The typical claims include: High Returns 70% profits in as little as 1 hour. Much simpler, just need to predict the right direction of the trend during the life of the option Lower, more controlled risk. No spreads or commissions. No experience required. Let’s examine each in detail. Potential High Returns Of 70% Profits In As Little As 1 Hour. True, at least for winning trades, the ones when you correctly forecast the trend over the life of the option and it closes higher than the strike price, i. e. in the money (ITM). Actually, if that happens, it’s possible to make these returns in far less time than an hour. Most binary option brokers offer options that expire on the hour (1:00, 2:00, 3:00 etc), and allow traders to buy puts (used to short the asset) or calls (used to go long the asset) up until a ‘lockout period that can be anywhere from 15-5 minutes before the hour and the option, expires.
Thus in theory one could make 70% in 15 minutes or less, depending on when the lockout period begins. HOWEVER, NOTE THERE IS NEGATIVE REWARDRISK. While the exact figures vary between brokers and asset classes, with losing trades cost you more than you earn from winning trades. Typically you gain 70% on winners, and lose anywhere from 100-85% on losing trades. If you do the math (see chapter 3 below), assuming 70% gains on winning trades vs.85% losses, you need to be right 55% of the time just to break even. As we discuss in depth in chapter 3, the greater simplicity of binary options trading makes high win rates quite achievable if one trades intelligently according to the guidelines we discuss in chapters 3-6. HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU TRADE BINARY OPTIONS WITH HOURLY EXPIRATIONS? The bigger issue is, should most traders even be trying to trade such short term time frames? The short answer: only in specific cases. Seriously now, apply the smell test. Doesn’t 70% return in an hour or less sound too good to be true? How many of the best hedge fund managers can claim 70% a year ? In all my years of advising clients, I’ve found that such short term intraday traders tend to be either very skilled, experienced, and informed about the short term money flows that dominate intraday price movements, or very much the opposite.
As with any kind of day trading, most fall into the latter category, and would be more likely to survive with both their capital and confidence intact by trading on longer time frames in which there is more meaningful evidence available and more time to do thorough analysis of the trend. In other words, less skilled traders will lack the information and time needed to make successful decisions. Specifically: The shorter the time frame, the more price movements are determined by short term money flows. Few who aren’t market makers themselves have the resources and skills to monitor and interpret those properly. Thus technical indicators are of more limited value over such short time frames, and trends are less reliable compared to those that form over many days or weeks. Fundamentals (except for breaking news stories) have almost no discernable impact during a given hour or day WHY WEEKLY, MONTHLY EXPIRATIONS OFFER BETTER ODDS OF SUCCESS. They cost no more than the short term ones, and pack key added bonuses: Time value: The price of a standard option is based mostly on 2 factors Intrinsic Value: How far in or out of the money it is. The more the option is in the money, the more intrinsic value. For example if the price of ABC stock is $10, and option to buy it at $8 has an intrinsic value of $2. Time Value: Typically, the more time that is available, the more costly the option. Granted, even for monthly binary options, the time value is not nearly as high compared to the 3-9 months typical of plain vanilla options. This is a key component to valuing standard options, which decline rapidly in value as they approach expiration. A $100 binary option costs the same whether it’s for an hour or a month, so obviously you’re getting some extra time value as a free bonus with longer term options.
Easier to forecast trends: As noted above, there is more evidence available to forecast long term trends, and more time to make informed decisions As detailed in the following section, success in binary options trading is mostly about correctly forecasting the trend, and longer term options allow enough time to ride the longer term, more stable trends, even if they fluctuate over the course of a week or month. Technical indicators are more reliable in longer time frames, and clearly positive or negative fundamental evidence and events may have enough time to influence price. Unpredictable short term money flows from large institutions can be decisive over the course of an hour or day, but the more publicly available, more easily discerned fundamental and technical factors dominate multi-dayweek price movements. The most potent and easily understood long term fundamental forces, like changes in growth rates, interest rates, or inflation can take weeks or months to influence the price of a given asset. In sum, the odds are more on your side, because you’ve got more information, better information, and more time to analyze it. Given the above, it should be clear that in general, beginners or less successful traders should first gain experience with the longer time frames before attempting to trade daily or hourly binary options. Once you’re already good at forecasting the longer term trends, then it makes sense to attempt the less predictable shorter term trends. While the profits come more slowly, they are more likely to come. Besides, would you really be disappointed with 70% a week or a month, or even a fraction of that net of your losing trades? As the industry mature, we’d hope to see longer term expirations offered beyond the current 1 month maximum that is available only from a few binary options brokers. WHEN HOURLY OR DAILY BINARY OPTIONS MAKE SENSE. There are of course, exceptions, times when an argument can be made for such short term trading: Trading A Bounce Off Of Established Trading Ranges: If price is in a trading range established over days, weeks, or longer, and price bounces off of support or resistance and heads back towards the middle of the range, hourly or daily options can be useful for exploiting these short term but possibly reliable trends. See Chapter 4, the section on Overcoming This Disadvantage of Shorter Term Expirations: When Daily And Hourly Expirations Make Sense, for details. These trading ranges can form during periods in which there is no significant news and markets are drifting as they wait for the next big event that changes sentiment for better or worse. The longer the channel or range has had time to form (especially if over multiple weeks) the better the odds of a winning trade if you can enter just as price bounces off strong support or resistance and you’re satisfied that the balance of technical and fundamental evidence suggests a good chance of a higher close.
Very sophisticated, experienced traders that can track money flows and have a proven track record in trading off of 1-5 minute charts Last minute hedges against a primary position around the time of a major news release that can make short term price movements too unpredictable to face without some kind of hedge. The cost of this insurance means sacrificing profits, but with such a high risk off loss, that’s a legitimate choice to make. An attempt to play a short term news - related move, for those with some kind of track record with this kind of trading, even if only on demo accounts A small gamble for the fun of it. Hey, life isn’t always about profits. In sum, unless you know precisely when to apply them, hourly or daily binary option trading risks becoming low yield gambling rather than high probability trading driven by carefully calculated risk taking. SO WHY DOES EVERY BINARY OPTION BROKER OFFER HOURLY EXPIRATIONS? Like their spot market counterparts, brokers make money based on trading volume. For the brokers, such fast turnover is obviously great. So, all offer binary options that expire on the hour, and most offer options that expire at the end of each trading day. Most offer nothing longer than that. Last I checked, only anyoption. com and eztrader. com offer weekly binary options (expire at the end of Friday trading) and only anyoption.
com and globaloption. com offer monthly expirations (close at the end of the final trading day of the month. The rest offer at daily expirations or less, some offer only hourly expirations or less. Again, few traders are likely to succeed with such short expirations except for the situations noted above. Much Simpler Than Traditional Spot Market Trading. True. As detailed in Chapter 3 below, a successful spot market trade involves about 10 separate decisions, each of which requires plenty of study and practice to do successfully. In contrast, binary option trading is comprised of only 3 relatively simple steps. Why? The fixed time frame and payout eliminates most of the complex and often emotionally draining exit planning, and risk and money management decisions.
Mistakes in these areas can and do cause potentially successful traders to lose their trading capital and give up before they’ve had a chance to develop. With binary options you only need to: Forecast the trend: Hardly simple but quiet achievable with study and practice, especially if you apply a small number of the right indicators to the more stable and predictable trends that appear on the weekly and monthly charts, and trade them via weekly and monthly binary options that last long enough to exploit these trends are very selective about choosing only the safest trends and entry points. Once you’re proficient at trend forecasting over a given time frame, the following steps aren’t even needed. However they are easy to do, and lower your risk and thus boost your income, so follow them and maximize your returns. Plan your entry – carefully: Just as you would with any kind of trading, try to get in near strong support, ideally just after that support is tested and holds, and the trend resumes. Select a position size that doesn’t risk more than 1-5% of your account in any one trade. Conservative position sizing allows you to survive the inevitable losing streaks with both you funds and confidence still intact. One of the keys to trading success is to survive the learning period. The shorter learning curve and far simpler planning of exits, risk and money management issues make that survival much more likely. Lower, More Controlled Risk. Risk IS more defined and thus controlled than with spot market instruments, and is often lower than with standard options. With spot instruments, even stop losses can be rendered useless if price gaps past them and hands traders larger losses than anticipated. For those who don’t use stop losses, risk of loss rises, and is at times theoretically unlimited. With standard or plain vanilla options, risk is limited to the cost of the option purchased.
With binary options, risk is usually limited to less than that, typically 85% of the cost of the option, because most binary option brokers return about 15% of the cost of the option on losing trades. The exact percentage varies with the broker. Is risk lower with binary options compared to spot market trading? That depends on the trader. IF we’re referring to the elite spot market traders skilled at exit planning, as well as risk and money management, and disciplined enough to do so consistently, these traders could keep their draw downs from losing trades well below the usual 85% loss with binary options, even with use of some leverage. However, as we discuss in Chapter 3 below, that’s a mighty big IF. Indeed, it doesn’t appear to apply to most traders. As described and illustrated in Chapter 3 below, the evidence suggests that they’re unable to exploit the potential for smaller losses from losing trades due to the complications involved. For that majority, the far greater simplicity of binary options keeps overall risk lower when they’re traded prudently. No Spreads Or Commissions. True, binary options brokers earn their money on the difference between what they pay out for winning and losing trades. See Chapter 5, the section on No Spreads Or Commissions .

Binary Options For Dummies: A Binary Option is an option whose payoff is either a fixed amount or zero. For example, there could be a binary option that pays $200 if a hurricane hits Miami before a specified date and zero otherwise. Also called a digital option.
Binary options differ from more conventional options in significant ways. A binary option is a type of options contract in which the payout will depend entirely on the outcome of a yesno proposition. The yesno proposition typically relates to whether the price of a particular asset that underlies the binary option will rise above or fall below a specified amount. For example, the yesno proposition connected to the binary option might be something as straightforward as whether the stock price of XYZ company will be above $9.36 per share at 2:30 pm on a particular day, or whether the price of silver will be above $33.40 per ounce at 11:17 am on a particular day. Once the option holder acquires a binary option, there is no further decision for the holder to make as to whether or not to exercise the binary option because binary options exercise automatically. Unlike other types of options, a binary option does not give the holder the right to purchase or sell the underlying asset. When the binary option expires, the option holder will receive either a pre-determined amount of cash or nothing at all. Given the all-or-nothing payout structure, binary options are sometimes referred to as &ldquoall-or-nothing options&rdquo or &ldquofixed-return options.&rdquo 1 Binary Options Simulator. The Simulator has been specifically designed to assist new traders to understand binary options trading basics .

Binary Options Trading Made Simple - With "instructions" including major news - 100% Winning Trades. Benefits Of Binary Options Trading. Binary Options are designed to provide trading opportunities, even in flat market conditions where the market hardly moves at all. Binary Options allow you to trade with strictly limited risk. Binary Options Risk and Reward. This video introduces you to the important concept of a risk and reward ratio when trading binary options. In finance , a binary option is a type of option where the payoff is either some fixed amount of some ass et or nothing at all. The two main types of binary options are the cash-or-nothing binary option and the asset-or-nothing binary option. The cash-or-nothing binary option pays some fixed amount of cash if the option expires in-the-money while the asset-or-nothing pays the value of the underlying security.
Thus, the options are binary in nature because there are only two possible outcomes. They are also called all-or-nothing options, digital options (more common in forexinterest rate markets), and fixed return options (FROs) (on the American Stock Exchange). 2 When buying a binary option the potential return it offers is certain and known before the purchase is made. Binary options can be bought on virtually any financial product and can be bought in both directions of trade either by buying a "Call" option or a "Put" option. This means that an investor can go long or short on any financial product simply by buying a binary option. Binary options are offered against a fixed expiry time which may be e. g. 60 seconds and up to 30 minutes, an hour ahead or to the close of the trading day. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have recently issued an Investor Alert to warn investors about fraudulent promotion schemes involving binary options and binary options trading platforms. Non Exchange Traded Binary Options. Binary options contracts have long been available over-the-counter (OTC), i. e. sold directly by the issuer to the buyer. They were generally considered "exotic" instruments and there was no liquid market for trading these instruments between their issuance and expiration.
They were often seen embedded in more complex option contracts. Since mid-2008 binary options websites called binary option trading platforms have been offering a simplified version of exchange-traded binary options. 2 Exchange Traded Binary Options. In 2007 , the Options Clearing Corporation proposed a rule change to allow binary options, and the Securities and Exchange Commission approved listing cash-or-nothing binary options in 2008. In May 2008, the American Stock Exchange (Amex) launched exchange-traded European cash-or-nothing binary options, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) followed in June 2008. The standardization of binary options allows them to be exchange-traded with continuous quotations. 2 Binary Options On The Chicago Board Options Exchange. CBOE Binary Options are a pure and simple way to trade based on your opinion of where a market is headed over a certain period of time. They are contracts that, at expiration, pay out a pre-determined, fixed amount or nothing at all. The payout amount for CBOE Binary options is $100. Like traditional options, Binary Options are based on an underlying security, have various strike prices to choose from as well as various expirations. CBOE lists both call and put Binary Options. If, at expiration, the price of the underlying security closes at or above the selected strike price, the buyer of a call Binary Option receives $100 per contract. If the underlying security closes at a price that is below the strike price on the expiration date, the buyer receives nothing.
In the case of put Binary Options, the put buyer receives $100 per contract if the underlying security closes below the strike price at expiration, and nothing if the underlying security closes at or above the strike price at expiration. Is Binary Options Trading Legal In The US? In the United States, it is legal to trade binary options, as long as they are exchange based , as in the case of the North American Derivatives Exchange (NADEX), which provides a trading environment in which trades are executed via an exchange rather than clients &lsquobetting&rsquo against the binary options firm itself. CAN OFFSHORE "BROKERS" TRADE WITH US RESIDENTS? According to NADEX: In the case of off-shore platforms offering binary options to retail customers in the United States, the answer to this question is a resounding "No". As the Director of Enforcement for the CFTC stated in connection with a recently filed lawsuit: "It is against the law to solicit U. S. persons to buy and sell commodity options, even if they are called &lsquoprediction&rsquo contracts, unless they are listed for trading and traded on a CFTC-registered exchange or unless legally exempt." Binary Options Brokers. If your search the web looking for a binary broker you will see that most binary options brokers (platforms) are located offshore . Many of them do offer accounts to US clients, even though this seems to be illegal and there were already civil complaints filed. Usually these "brokers" are simply Internet based trading platforms offering binary options. Most sites that recommend brokers get paid (often $200 or more) for each each visitor that opens an account with one of their "recommended" brokers.
They are completely biased . There's thousands of sites that will show you the best best binary options brokers . Below is an example (please note that since I am unbiased you will not find any affiliate links here) USA Binary Options Brokers. Looking for binary options brokers that serve US customers?

Best Binary Options Brokers Accepting USA Customers. HOW DO BINARY OPTIONS WORK? A Binary Option asks a simple yesno question. The price at which you buysell is not the actual price of gold, but rather a value between zero and 100.
The bidoffer price fluctuates throughout the day, but always settles at either 100 (if the answer is yes) or zero (if the answer is no). Your profitloss is calculated using the difference between the settlement price (zero or 100) and your opening price (the price you bought or sold at). Binary Options Reviews.

Please note that the text below is not the complete joined alert - you can read the complete alert here. The SEC&rsquos Office of Investor Education and Advocacy and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission&rsquos Office of Consumer Outreach (CFTC) are issuing this Investor Alert to warn investors about fraudulent promotion schemes involving binary options and binary options trading platforms. Binary Options Trading Platforms. . Some binary options are listed on registered exchanges or traded on a designated contract market that are subject to oversight by United States regulators such as the SEC or CFTC, respectively, but this is only a portion of the binary options market. Much of the binary options market operates through Internet-based trading platforms that are not necessarily complying with applicable U. S. regulatory requirements and may be engaging in illegal activity. The number of Internet-based trading platforms that offer the opportunity to purchase and trade binary options has surged in recent years. The increase in the number of these platforms has resulted in an increase in the number of complaints about fraudulent promotion schemes involving binary options trading platforms. Typically, a binary options Internet-based trading platform will ask a customer to deposit a sum of money to buy a binary option call or put contract. For example, a customer may be asked to pay $50 for a binary option contract that promises a 50% return if the stock price of XYZ company is above $5 per share when the option expires. If the outcome of the yesno proposition (in this case, that the share price of XYZ company will be above $5 per share at the specified time) is satisfied and the customer is entitled to receive the promised return, the binary option is said to expire &ldquo in the money.
&rdquo If, however, the outcome of the yesno proposition is not satisfied, the binary option is said to expire &ldquo out of the money, &rdquo and the customer may lose the entire deposited sum. There are variations of binary option contracts in which a binary option that expires out of the money may entitle the customer to receive a refund of some small portion of the deposit-for example, 5%-but that is not typically the case. In fact, some binary options Internet based trading platforms may overstate the average return on investment by advertising a higher average return on investment than a customer should expect, given the payout structure. For instance, in the example above, assuming a 5050 chance of winning, the payout structure has been designed in such a way that the expected return on investment is actually negative , resulting in a net loss to the customer. This is because the consequence if the option expires out of the money ( approximately a 100% loss ) significantly outweighs the payout if the option expires in the money ( approximately a 50% gain ). In other words, in the example above, an investor could expect, on average, to lose money. Complaints Relating to Fraudulent Binary Options Trading Platforms. The SEC and CFTC have received numerous complaints of fraud associated with websites that offer an opportunity to buy or trade binary options through Internet-based trading platforms . The complaints fall into at least three categories: refusal to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds to customers, identity theft, and manipulation of software to generate losing trades. The first category of alleged fraud involves the refusal of certain Internet-based binary options trading platforms to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds after accepting customer money.
These complaints typically involve customers who have deposited money into their binary options trading account and who are then encouraged by &ldquobrokers&rdquo over the telephone to deposit additional funds into the customer account. When customers later attempt to withdraw their original deposit or the return they have been promised, the trading platforms allegedly cancel customers&rsquo withdrawal requests, refuse to credit their accounts, or ignore their telephone calls and emails. The second category of alleged fraud involves identity theft. For example, some complaints allege that certain Internet-based binary options trading platforms may be collecting customer information such as credit card and driver&rsquos license data for unspecified uses. If a binary options Internet-based trading platform requests photocopies of your credit card, driver&rsquos license, or other personal data, do not provide the information. The third category of alleged fraud involves the manipulation of the binary options trading software to generate losing trades. These complaints allege that the Internet-based binary options trading platforms manipulate the trading software to distort binary options prices and payouts. For example, when a customer&rsquos trade is &ldquowinning,&rdquo the countdown to expiration is extended arbitrarily until the trade becomes a loss. Certain Registration and Regulatory Requirements of the SEC. For example, some binary options may be securities .
Under the federal securities laws, a company may not lawfully offer or sell securities unless the offer and sale have been registered with the SEC or an exemption from such registration applies. For example, if the terms of a binary option contract provide for a specified return based on the price of a company&rsquos securities, the binary option contract is a security and may not be offered or sold without registration, unless an exemption from registration is available. If there is no registration or exemption, then the offer or sale of the binary option to you would be illegal. If any of the products offered by binary options trading platforms are security-based swaps, additional requirements will apply. In addition, some binary options trading platforms may be operating as unregistered broker-dealers. A person who engages in the business of effecting securities transactions for the accounts of others in the U. S. generally must register with the SEC as a broker-dealer. If a binary options trading platform is offering to buy or sell securities, effecting transactions in securities, andor receiving transaction-based compensation (such as commissions), it likely should be registered with the SEC. To determine whether a particular trading platform is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer , visit the FINRA BrokerCheck website. Some binary options trading platforms may also be operating as unregistered securities exchanges. This would be the case if they matched orders in securities of multiple buyers and sellers using established non-discretionary methods. However, there are cases where a registered broker-dealer with a trading system or platform may legitimately have no obligation to register as an exchange.
Certain Registration and Regulatory Requirements of the CFTC. It is illegal for entities to solicit, accept offers, offer to or enter into commodity options transactions (for example, foreign currencies, metals such as gold and silver, and agricultural products such as wheat or corn) with U. S. citizens , unless those options transactions are conducted on a designated contract market, an exempt board of trade, or a bona fide foreign board of trade, or are conducted with U. S. customers who have a net worth that exceeds $5 million. To see the most recent list of exchanges that are designated as contract markets, check the CFTC website. There currently are only three designated contract markets offering binary options in the U. S.: Cantor Exchange LP Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. and the North American Derivatives Exchange, Inc. All other entities offering binary options that are commodity options transactions are doing so illegally. Further, entities that solicit or accept orders for commodity options transactions and accept, among other things, money to margin, guarantee, or secure the commodity options transactions must register as a Futures Commission Merchant. Entities that act as the counterparty (that is, they take the other side of the transaction from the customer as opposed to matching orders) for foreign currency options transactions for customers with a net worth of less than $5 million must register as a Retail Foreign Exchange Dealer. Washington, DC - The U. S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed on June 5, 2013 a civil complaint in federal district court in Nevada charging Banc de Binary, Ltd. (Banc de Binary), a foreign company that held itself out as being headquartered on Wall Street, with violating the CFTC's ban on off-exchange options trading by offering commodity option contracts to U. S. customers for trading, as well as soliciting, accepting, and confirming the execution of orders from U. S. customers. The CFTC's complaint also charges Banc de Binary with operating as an unregistered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). According to the CFTC's complaint, Banc de Binary operates an online trading website through which customers can buy or sell binary (&ldquocall&rdquo or &ldquoput&rdquo) options, predicting whether the price of a certain commodity will increase or decrease in a given time period. Specifically, from May 2011 through March 2013, Banc de Binary operated an online trading website which allowed U. S. customers to trade options products prohibited by the CFTC's ban on off-exchange options trading.
Through its website, Banc de Binary allegedly unlawfully solicited and permitted U. S. customers to buy and sell options betting on the prices of wheat, oil, platinum, sugar, coffee, corn, foreign currency pairs, and stock indices. The CFTC's complaint also charges Banc de Binary with operating as an unregistered FCM from July 2011 through March 2013. Finally, the complaint alleges the company did not limit its options offerings to eligible contract participants, allowing U. S. customers to trade without requiring any information about their trading history or net worth. David Meister, the Director of the CFTC's Division of Enforcement, stated: &ldquoIf a company wants to offer U. S. persons the opportunity to buy and sell predictions on the direction of commodity prices, the company must play by the rules or suffer the consequences. The applicable rules are on the books for good reason - to protect market participants and promote market integrity - and we will serve the public by enforcing them.&rdquo The CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties, an injunction preventing Banc de Binary from engaging in certain commodity options activity with U. S. customers, and other remedial ancillary relief, including restitution, disgorgement, and rescission. The CFTC acknowledges the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission for their assistance in the investigation of Banc de Binary.
