Binary Options
What are Binary Options?
Binary Options are an investment instrument that is in expansion. With Binary Options you do not invest in the purchase of actual assets such as the purchase of shares on the stock exchange. It consists of bets on the value that a particular asset may reach in set period of time, which can be short-term (60 seconds, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) or long-term (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, etc.) You can bet on the value lowering (PUT) or on the value rising (CALL). If you are correct, you will be able to make an average profit of 70% to 85% on your contract.
Binary options are regulated since 2013 ; they only appeared in 2008. They are a very recent form of investment, although they already have many traders because of the potential gains and the ease of trading.
The entire process to start trading in Binary Options is extremely simple . which also explains the success that Binary Options have had.
This financial instrument is traded through Brokers who make online trading platforms available. In addition to trading manually, you can use a signal service or automatic trading systems called Robots.
If you want to trade independently and manually, you just have to learn to use one or more trading strategies . To learn the most comprehensive process you should have training. For this you can select the Binary Options Training developed especially for beginners. The best part is that this Training is free for those who choose a Broker that sponsors the class.
Main types of binary options:
Cash-or-nothing: It is the simplest and most used. It consists of betting on the rising or falling of the value of the asset. Here the final value (strike price) does not matter, it only matters if it is above or below the value at the time you place the trade (spot price). If you are correct, you will earn on average 70% to 85%. If you are wrong, you will lose 100% of that trade. If you can find a strategy to achieve more than 60% of correct trades, you will make a profit.
Asset-or-nothing: Unlike the previous option, the payout for this type is determined by the price of the asset itself. It is a good option but it involves having a greater knowledge of the financial markets, or at least being knowledgeable about the asset prices and the latest fluctuations.
One - touch: This option terminates when the asset reaches a certain value (strike price). One of the difficulties here is the price reaching the strike price within the time period until the termination of the contract.
No - touch: The intention here is the opposite of the aforementioned. The goal is to avoid reaching the strike price within the time period until the termination of the contract.
60 Seconds: Very fast trades. If there is a very definite trend on a price, this type allows you to quickly close the contract before there is a reversal in prices. It is also a very popular type of contract, especially among those who already have some experience.
As binary options have evolved, new formats or variations of existing formats have appeared. Each Broker tries to offer something different, so it is normal to find variations of these formats.
