What are Binary Options?

A binary option, also known as “all-or-nothing option” or ”fixed option”, is a type of investment where you receive a fixed return for predicting how the price of a certain stock, currency, index or commodity will move over a predetermined period of time. The fixed return can be anything up to 85% while the fixed period of time can be anywhere between 15 minutes to 24 hours.

They are called binary options because there can only ever be two outcomes; your prediction is either correct or incorrect. The risk, the reward and the length of time before an option expires are clearly stated before making an investment meaning money management is easier and you can never lose more than you decided to risk.

Also, the close early feature enables you to close a position prior to expiry and limit the loss, as well as securing the profit.

• Affordable  – Due to the fact that when trading binary options you are only purchasing the option-to-buy an asset and not the asset itself; this makes trading in expensive assets like Gold – approx $1670 an oz or Apple Inc Stock at over $550 a share, affordable. Remember, you are not buying the underlying asset itself, just investing in the prediction about its price movement.
