Dear Valued Customer,
Id like to take this opportunity to share my enthusiasm and excitement for the innovative, stateof-the-art investment, trading and banking enterprise that is Banc De Binary. Over the past few years, it has become apparent that the old ways of doing business in this increasingly interconnected financial world are no longer viable. For the hundreds of banks, brokerages, investment houses and other financial concerns that foolishly cling to the obsolete models of conducting their business, the result has been chaos, devaluation of assets and equity, and in many cases, oblivion. Unfortunately, this trend persists to this day as we continue to see bank failures, defaults and depreciating value of many of the biggest names in banking over the past 50 years. For those that refuse to see or do not comprehend the changes in global economics, business, investment and trading, the future holds little promise. For the rest of

Welcome to our global online banking community.

Binary options enable inve in the toughest market co

In the past couple of years, binary options have carved out a niche that focuses on straightforwardness, known risks, and a de-emphasis on volatility. Many of the other asset classes in todays markets are quite different. They involve a large amount of painfully complex factors, which increase the margins of error and the likelihood of costly mistakes. Todays markets are quite different from financial markets of the past. The digital age has revolutionized them, allowing for an explosion in asset types, contracts, and strategies. While this can be seen as a positive in that it provides opportunities for wealth creation, more frequently, it has set the average trader at a disadvantage. Large institutions with many resources at their disposal (namely, specialized personnel and computing power) have an advantage over the competition. They quickly capitalize upon traditional asset trading opportunities far before the best retail investors are even aware of them. In combination with rising volatility and a staggering increase in the number of investment vehicles available in recent years, it is easy to see why many retail investors find themselves overwhelmed by todays market. In fact, many view the idea of speculative trading as far too risky and riddled with hidden complexities. In a sense, theyve been unduly pushed out of the market.

estors to compete onditions.

These circumstances are precisely why binary options are such an exciting development. Brokers choose well-researched and understood underlying assets, giving retail investors information access that rivals the professionals. Perhaps most importantly, risk calculation on binary options is understandable. With more traditional assets, every single price movement affects potential gains and losses. When additional complications such as leverage are factored in, its easy for a prospective trader to lose track of their exposure in a given investment. However, with binary options, the set price and all or nothing nature of outcome brings risk out of vague territory and into the figurative light. With exact risk known, binary options traders are able to make wiser decisions about money and account management. Not coincidentally, these are the areas where traditional asset traders often stumble and lose. By eliminating these added entanglements, binary options give traders the ability to focus solely on making correct predictions and consequently, making money.

The Banc De Binary Pro Platform utilizes the latest technology to offer banking and finance to a wide range of customers, including corporations, hedge funds, individual investors, banks and governments, in a simple yet secure online environment.

A breadth of truly global assets

Banc De Binarys trading platform offers more than 90 assets, which constitutes the widest set of tradable assets currently available from any provider. With trading activity in over 80 countries, we can offer emerging market and other less liquid currencies. This widens the range of tradable currencies, commodities, stocks and indices that you can choose from. Further, with a VIP account we can add any asset within two business days. Major benefits of trading in the binary options market include the diversification and opportunities created by reduced correlation with other asset classes. Trading in emerging market currencies, commodities, stocks, and indices offers further opportunities as their performance is linked to other underlying factors unique to those countries. For example, if strength is perceived in certain commodity prices, it would be helpful to have a wide set of currencies on offer, from Australian and Canadian dollars to the South African rand, Mexican peso, and several other currency pairs. Banc De Binarys Pro Platform offers liquidity in several Asia-Pacific, Middle Eastern, Eastern European and Latin American currencies. For more information on the full breadth of currencies on offer, access the live chat option on Banc De Binarys website (www.bbinary.com) and speak to a broker.

Introduction to Binary Opt

Binary options are high return, short-term investments
Based on exotic options, which are only traded on private markets, binary options are traded over the counter and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A binary option, also known as a digital option or an all-or-nothing, is a trading instrument with a fixed return that is determined at the outset of the trade. A trader will receive a predetermined payout if the binary option expires in-themoney. He will lose a predetermined amount of his original stake if the option expires out-of-the-money. The beauty of trading binary options is the inherent simplicity. If a prediction is correct, the trader receives a refund of the stake plus a return on investment that is typically 71-88%. If the trader is wrong, Banc De Binary will return a small percentage of the original stake. All markets - currencies, stocks, commodities, and market indices can be underlying assets for binary options. The degree to which the option closes in or out-of-the-money does not matter as it does with a traditional option.

16

Introduction to Binary Options

tions

Unlike traditional options, binary options do not have set prices: the trader decides upon the amount of money he wants to risk and invests that amount when he buys the option. Furthermore, the shorter duration of these contracts makes binary options more suitable for short-term trading than their traditional counterparts. In the past few years, online binary option trading has grown exponentially. Digital trades can

utilize many more underlying assets, and have much more flexibility in their timing, strike prices, and contract options. Since 2009, they have become very popular among traders as a way to control risk in options trading, in turn allowing for more dynamic strategies to be developed. Finally, constantly evolving technology better facilitates digital trading and allows investors to make more lucrative trades.

The beauty of trading binary options is the inherent simplicity.

17

Binary Options Basics

One of the key benefits of binary options is simplicity. Binary options trading is relatively easy once the parameters of the trade are understood. Each binary option is based on four distinct components:

The asset

All binary options brokers offer their own range of assets to traders, such as stocks, commodities, currency pairs and market indices. Some brokers may offer only a limited range, which will restrict trading opportunities. Although a trader may opt to specialize in an asset or a group of assets with which he is familiar, the ability to trade a wide range of assets offers increased opportunities to profit.

Each binary options trade is based on an asset selected by the trader. These are known as underlying assets, since the trader doesnt buy the assets and therefore never actually owns them.

18
Binary Options Basics

The contract/time of expiration

Each binary option trade is a contract and each contract has a set expiration time. Although many types of traditional trading require an investment for several months or years before a reasonable return is achieved, in the case of binary options, trades can expire in a matter of weeks, days, hours or minutes. Using Banc De Binarys trading platform, an option can be purchased up to five minutes before it expires. It is important that the trader always knows just how much time is left before the option expires so that he can improve his chances of making an accurate prediction.

The forecast or prediction

The job of a binary options trader is to determine in which direction the price of an asset will move before or at the time of expiration. For the simplest binary options trades, the forecast will be based on whether the price at expiry will be higher or lower. The trader will purchase a Call option if he believes the price will close higher or a Put option if he believes the price will fall. A correct prediction will result in a return of 71-88% on investment nearly double the original stake.

The amount that is at stake

19

Each binary options trade is for a fixed amount that the trader specifies at the outset of the trade. This puts the traders money firmly in his hands at all times giving him the control to minimize losses and maximize returns.

Who Trades Binary Option

Trader types
For many years, binary options were treated as simple over-the-counter instruments. As a result, an actual liquid market didnt exist, and there was no regulation whatsoever in place. Binary options were only one small part of a larger complex contract. Specialist brokers were engaged to trade on the clients behalf. Naturally, these brokers charged a commission fee for the service. This all changed in early 2008, when the SEC approved a rule change allowing binary options to be traded on major markets. In May 2008, the American Stock Exchange became the first exchange to publically offer binary options, and the CBOE followed suit in June of the same year. Both of these market-traded binary options are highly limited when compared to the types of binary options available to online traders. The greater availability of binary options and the increasing number of organizations that support them have led to an exponential growth in the number of people trading these options. This number continues to grow on a daily basis. There are two trader types:

20
Who Trades Binary Options?

ns?
Professional organizations
Some of the organizations that operate as binary options traders include options traders who have diversified their portfolio. They are attracted to the potential for high volume trades giving the opportunity to achieve significant returns in a relatively short timeframe. Additional benefits include the availability of extensive assets to trade and risks that are controlled, eliminating much of the uncertainty associated with traditional options trading.

Individual traders
At the other end of the scale, individual investors trade binary options due to the provision of comprehensive trading platforms and the availability of high levels of support, information, and accessible advice. Day traders in particular are attracted to the flexibility of binary options trading. Internet-based trading platforms create a true 24/7 trading environment and traders can access their accounts securely any time anywhere, using any suitable device with Internet access.

Benefits of Trading Binary

Binary options offer an extensive range of benefits to all traders, whether they are new to the market or experienced professionals. The simplicity of binary options trading is perhaps the most appealing factor compared with their traditional counterparts. Every situation is solely either gain or loss. Therefore, to finish in-the-money, all a trader really needs to predict is in which direction the asset will move before the time of expiration. Additional benefits associated with trading binary options include:

All conditions trading

In traditional options trading, investors usually only make money when markets and prices are rising. However, a binary options trader can make money in any market conditions, because predicting a fall is as profitable as predicting a rise. In fact, volatile markets offer increased opportunities to profit due to the large swings that can occur in each direction. The key is to be alert to changes in market conditions, follow the signs and then profit through correct forecasting. Trading foreign exchange enables a trader to finish in the money by forecasting a fall or rise in the value of one currency against another. With the constant changes to rates and the number of available combinations, this gives almost limitless opportunities to achieve a return. All markets follow trends and a trader can profit on an up trend by buying Call options as well as buying Put options when a downward trend is underway. To reiterate, its simply a matter of forecasting in which direction a market will move.

22

Benefits of Trading Binary Options

y Options
High return
Traditional investments usually necessitate a long-term outlook, with assets often held for months or even years before a significant return on an investment is achieved. Binary options, on the other hand, are short-term, high-return trades. A typical option will expire in a matter of hours or even less and will often yield 71-88% if predicted correctly. With a series of successful trades, a trader can quickly accumulate substantial profits.

Calculated risk
Although an incorrect prediction can result in the loss of a proportion of the original stake, the trader can determine at the outset what this will be. Therefore overall exposure can be relatively small, allowing trading to continue until a return to profit is achieved. This contrasts with other forms of trading where large amounts of money are at risk and it is easy to lose control over how much is at stake.

Tax exempt
Binary options brokers do not withhold taxes from payouts. Furthermore, the UK tax authorities treat any gains from binary options as tax exempt. This is a clear benefit to all UK-based traders when compared with other investment vehicles. Some countries, such as the USA, treat the profits from binary options trading as short-term capital gains. However, traders may offset gains with any losses for tax purposes.

23

Banc de Binary

Wide availability
Binary options are now an accepted means of trading and are widely quoted on markets, with a number of brokers providing extensive yet easy-to-use trading platforms that any subscriber can access. Banc De Binarys Pro Platform is able to offer more than 90 assets with trading activity in over 80 countries. This constitutes the widest set of tradable assets currently available from any provider. Trading in emerging markets and less liquid currencies offers further opportunities to profit as their performance is linked to other underlying factors unique to those countries.

Any time, anywhere trading

Trading platforms generally provide access to a variety of global markets covering stocks, commodities, and foreign exchange. This allows 24/7 trading with at least one market generally open at most times. Additionally, since most trading platforms are web-based, traders can access their accounts and make trades using any device with Internet access. This combination gives traders the ability to trade however they want, whenever they want and from wherever they are.

24
Benefits of Trading Binary Options

Simplicity
Whereas some types of investment and trading can be complicated, binary options trading provides a straightforward process that involves a number of simple steps. Traders simply choose the asset they want to trade, predict the direction of the price movement by the stated time and indicate the amount of the stake. If the outcome is correct, the trader will receive a payout in the region of 71-88%. Further, binary options do not require more than one pip in order to be in-the-money. Forex trading and other forms of online trading require three pips just to commence trading.

Small investment friendly

Unlike traditional investments, which require a significant amount of capital upfront, binary options traders can invest as little or as much as they wish. No significant deposits are required in order to start trading. Furthermore, careful diversification can help build a buffer against potential losses. As stated earlier, your money is in your hands at all times.

How to Trade Binary Options

In order to trade binary options, a broker is required. Not the specialist broker of old who would trade on an individuals behalf and charge commission fees, but a modern binary options broker, providing a trading platform. This gives the investor complete freedom to trade at his convenience. Having identified a suitable platform, the trader must open an account. Several account types may be available with different minimum deposit requirements. The features and benefits of each account should be examined carefully in order to choose the right fit. It is often possible to start small and then upgrade to another account at a later stage. Once the trader has registered his details online and completed his deposit, hes ready to begin trading binary options.

26
How to Trade Binary Options

Making a trade
Making a successful trade involves a number of simple steps:

Choose the asset

Most trading platforms will have a range of available assets. A trader will generally select an asset type with which he is familiar, whether it is a stock, market index, commodity or currency pair. For each asset, the current price will be displayed, along with the expiration time of the option and the percentage payout for a correct prediction.

Predict the Price Movement

The trader will select a Call option if he thinks the price will rise by the time the option expires or a Put option if he expects the price to fall. Alternatively, he may trade variations, known as touch options, which are explained later in this chapter. All he needs to do is enter the amount to be traded and confirm the trade.

Wait for the option to expire

If the prediction is correct at the time of expiry, the trader will receive a return thats equal to his initial stake plus the stated payout. If hes wrong, hell receive a small percentage of his original stake. It is important to remember that unlike Banc De Binary, some platforms are really all-or-nothing. In those cases, the whole of the original stake will be lost.

27
Banc de Binary

Type of Binary Options Digital binary options

These are the simplest and most common trades and are sometimes known as all-or-nothing options. As described above, the trader is simply predicting whether the price will rise or fall by the stated expiration time. An example follows: Googles shares have a current price of $535.50. The trader decides to buy an option that expires in two hours and pays a 75% return on success. He stakes $100 on his prediction and, at the end of the two-hour period, the price stands lower at $534.10. If he had purchased a Call option, he would lose and receive a percentage of his stake in return; if he had purchased a Put option he would profit and receive a return of $175 (his original stake of $100 plus a 75% payout). As explained previously, the incremental price movement itself does not matter as it does in traditional options trading. The trader must correctly predict whether the price will be higher or lower at the expiry of the contract the price may move in either direction by as little as one pip.

28
How to Trade Binary Options

One touch options

A one touch option is a binary option that pays off if the underlying asset reaches a specific level by a specific time. In this case, the trader is not just choosing whether a price will rise or fall by a stated time, he is deciding whether it will touch a set barrier at any time during the period of the trade. Due to the additional specificity involved, this type of trading can attract returns as high as 500%. For example: The current commodity price is $80.50 and the trader sets a limit of $81.00. If he purchases a one touch option, he will be in-the-money if the price touches that level before the option expires. When it does hit the limit, the option closes and the trader receives his payout; it doesnt matter what happens to the price after that. If the price does not reach the stated level before the expiration of the contract, the trader will lose and forfeit his stake.

Analyzing Binary Options

To improve the chances of accumulating consistent profits from binary options trading, there are two types of analysis that traders can employ: technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis looks at how outside influences can affect asset prices; technical analysis focuses on how a price has moved in the past and how that can determine future movements. Both types of analysis are essential tools for traders.

Introduction to technical analysis

Technical analysis is the study of asset prices in the attempt to determine the future direction of a market. Traders who use technical analysis tend to believe that the majority of available information is already incorporated in the value of an asset. Consequently, prices will always move in a consistent manner and identifying the ways assets have moved in the past will give a guide to the way they will move in the future. Much time and effort for technical analysis is taken up with studying charts. Practitioners believe that the factors that influence prices, such as the effects of supply and demand, established trends, and other elements are clearly visible in any chart. Most price charts plot price movements over time or by volume of trades. Charts are often formatted via a trend line so that price direction can be easily read. Bar charts or candlestick charts are also used to display the high, low, open and close prices for each period. Technical analysis can be particularly helpful in assisting an investor with entering, exiting, and managing the risk of positions. A number of analytical tools are available as described below.

30
Analyzing Binary Options

Trend following
Trend following analyzes historical data in order to establish whether a sustained movement in a particular direction is occurring. This normally involves looking at different periods, such as 2-day and 7-day moving averages. If the moving average for the shorter period crosses significantly above or below that for the longer period, then an upward or downward trend has developed.

Momentum
Tracking momentum is sometimes known as Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and determines whether an assets momentum is rising or falling. It is used to track the daily changes in short-term and long-term averages. If the short-term averages are larger, momentum is increasing, while larger long-term averages suggest a decreasing momentum. Slowing momentum indicates the rate of change will decrease and may eventually reverse.

31
Banc de Binary

Mean reversion
Mean reversion involves identifying an assets mean and then determining if the asset price is settling back to that point. It is rather like testing a rubber band to see how far it will stretch before it snaps back. Analysts employ technical indicators such as Bollinger Bands to measure mean reversion. Bollinger Bands employ various statistical factors, such as supply management, in order to generate a set of bands to contain the price action. Bollinger bands allow any trader to instantly view price on a chart relative to its volatility mean over a period of time. Volatility is the rate at which the price of a currency pair moves up and down in the market. When high volatility can be seen, the upper and lower Bollinger bands widen and when the price fluctuations decrease, the bands contract. The price usually bounces off the range whenever it touches the upper or lower band. A second group of technical indicators that are used to measure mean reversion are Relative Strength and Stochastic indicators. Both of these technical indicators measure how fast a market has moved in the short term, relative to movements over a longer period. Stochastic indicators, in particular, are based on the principal that in an up trending market, stocks tend to close near their highs and in a downward market stocks tend to close near their lows. These indicators create an index that is used by traders to determine if a market is overbought or oversold. In general, technical indicators are successful because of their popularity among traders, which is based on the reasoning that volume generates movement. The logic follows that the more investors who are trading in a certain direction, the more that direction is set to continue.

32
Analyzing Binary Options

By utilizing these indicators, a trader is essentially trading in the same direction as many others. This insight can be useful when trading short term.To improve the chances of accumulating consistent profits from binary options trading, there are two types of analysis that traders can employ: technical analysis and fundamental analysis.

Fundamental analysis looks at how outside influences can affect asset prices; technical analysis focuses on how a price has moved in the past and how that can determine future movements. Both types of analysis are essential tools for traders.

Pattern recognition
In this type of analysis, the trader is looking at specific patterns within the price action. This will help him determine whether any recognizable patterns reveal a predisposition for him to forecast a specific price move. An example of this type of pattern is a head and shoulders pattern in which two shoulders and a head can clearly be seen. In general, the market will fall after forming the second shoulder.

Support and Resistance

Support and resistance are among the most widely known and widely used Forex trading concepts and strategies. These are the levels in the markets, which price has not been able to break outside of. Support levels are the areas which price cannot seem to break below. If a break does happen, it is only temporary and the price soon returns above the level. Resistance levels are the areas, which prevent the price from rising further. These levels act like a ceiling and appear to force price back down when it tries to break above the level. It is essential to bear in mind that support and resistance levels are not exact numbers, but offer traders a clear indication based on past performance that when price reaches either a support or resistance level it is likely to bounce back.

33
Banc de Binary

Introduction to Fundamen
Fundamental analysis is based on the principle that assets are generally priced incorrectly and that markets are constantly attempting to correct them. These corrections are based on outside events affecting asset price and therefore traders will need to continually check news items, company announcements and various publications. This type of analysis can be subjective, because the investor is forming a view based on the occurrence of certain outside events. A trader would need to study all levels of data, depending on the asset he is trading, from company level through to industry and markets, on to country wide and global level. Many events are interrelated and can affect the price of different assets and even different asset classes. Each type of analysis will help a trader become more successful in his forecasts. However, it is important to note that a combination of technical and fundamental analysis offers the greatest chance of success.

Fundamental analysis considerations

Fundamental analysis assumes that the market is rational and that a securitys price will eventually reflect the true value of the investment. By contrast, technical analysis assumes that the marketplace will repeat past trends and that a securitys price will eventually move in the same way other investment prices have moved. As such, both theories potentially turn a blind eye to important external data. A stock that announces big unanticipated news is unlikely to continue to complete a price pattern, or to move directly towards its underlying real value. Some of these factors and variables include:

Company information
When using a companys share price as the basis for a binary options trade, full information about the company is absolutely essential. Read news items and press releases and take account of analysts views. Use a companys published accounts in order to calculate certain figures and ratios to assess the companys worth and performance, including: Earnings per share (EPS) that provides a measure of the value of each share Price to earnings (P/E) to determine if a share is under- or over-valued Projected earnings growth (PEG) to compare the share price to annual growth Book value as total assets less total liabilities Price to book (P/B) compares the share price to the companys asset value Price to sales (P/S) to show the share price in relation to annual sales Dividend yield as a percentage of the companys share price Return on equity (ROE) to determine the effectiveness of using the money invested. Be aware that any news or information about a company may have far-reaching effects. For example, the announcement of a new product may increase the companys share price while at the same time forcing down the value of its rivals.

Industry news
No one company exists in isolation. The performance of an industry will affect the value of all those companies that comprise it. A successful companys share price may be dragged down by an industry that is in general decline. Conversely, a struggling company may experience an uplift if the wider industry begins to improve. Although a company may perform better or worse than its industry, it will always be associated with it and this will be reflected in the company share price. It is advisable to watch for industries that are on the upswing and to trade companies that are part of them accordingly. For example, one would generally expect the price of shares in renewable energy companies to be increasing as the market develops and products become more widely available.

Natural events
The price of commodities will, of course, be influenced by natural disasters and weather events. As such, all assets are affected by supply and demand. For example, a drought or severe storm that ruins crops on a wide scale will force the price to rise. Similarly, a hurricane that shuts down an oil field can cause the price to rise due to supply problems. Some of the effects of natural events are fairly easy to predict, but they can have far-reaching consequences. If the price of a commodity rises due to a shortage of supply, the share price of the company that supplies the commodity may increase. Conversely, a company that uses a lot of the commodity will suffer a fall in profits and its share price may drop. A country that is a major producer will benefit through exports and its currency may rise.

36

Fear factor
Markets are often driven by sentiment, with prices quickly rising and falling. Often, theres no real logical reason for the changes and they can be driven by fear. Its difficult to predict how markets will move in these situations, but often they establish an upward or downward trend that continues for some time. A successful binary options trader will follow the news in order to identify events that are likely to panic or calm the markets.

Market conditions
Bull markets are established when prices are rising, and the reverse, bear markets, when prices are falling. These markets can become established for long periods, often years, and help you determine the general direction of price movements. This is useful when trading an index but also provides guidance for individual company shares. Whether a company is successful or unsuccessful, it will be affected by prevailing market conditions. Markets can also become range bound, with prices moving within a narrow band even when the longerterm trend indicated a particular direction. They may also become volatile, with prices varying wildly. Studying events that influence the market will give a guide to overall movements.

37
Banc de Binary

Economic performance
In the short-term, it is acceptable for a country to run a large budget deficit. However, if the deficit continues for a number of years, it can become a problem. Countries often devalue their currencies to make exporting easier and to limit imports, thereby reducing or eradicating the deficit. When the currency floats freely, the value often goes down against other currencies that have stronger economies. The Euro zone itself poses a difficult challenge, because there are many countries with different performance levels but only one currency. Countries themselves often use interest rates as an economic weapon. A rising interest rate makes a currency more attractive and generally causes its value to increase in relation to other currencies. However, different countries can change their rates in the same or opposite directions at the same time, so its the difference between the rates that sets the currency pair values. Prices often move in the expectation of an interest rate change. Budget deficits and falling currencies obviously affect the prices that countries pay for the commodities they import. This can have an impact on other parts of the economy, with share prices particularly affected for those companies that import or export extensively.

38

Economic indicators
Various economic indicators are published that either analyze economic performance or predict future performance. These indicators have different timings in relation to the way the economy changes: leading economic indicators are important in predicting price movements, because they change before the economy as a whole does. Stock market returns are one such indicator, because the markets, for example, generally rise before a recession ends lagged economic indicators follow on after the economy changes direction, such as the unemployment rate, which usually improves two or three quarters after the economy reenters growth coincident economic indicators, such as GDP, tend to move in line with the overall economy

Binary Options Trading Str

Reversal
Asset prices often follow a trend for a set period moving only in one direction. When the trends of price and volume move in the same direction, it is an indication of a healthy underlying market direction. However, when price trend is rising but the trend in volume is falling, it warns of a potential price trend reversal. When a reversal is indicated, a trader might buy an option that is in the opposite direction to previous movements. He might, for example, purchase a Call option if the price has been falling and is now expected to rise, or a Put option if the price is due to fall after an increase.

40
Binary Options Trading Strategies

rategies
Trend Reversal
A trend reversal may be indicated by a diamond pattern on a price chart and, although it may be not as common as other reversal patterns, it can be a useful indicator. This type of pattern comes in two forms the diamond top and the diamond bottom with both types having the shape of a diamond lying on its side. A diamond top forms at an up trends peak, occurring when the rise ends and the price remains flat for a while. This can result in a series of waves that become taller and then revert to a lower level. At this point, you should expect the price to break out to the downside. This is a signal to change the direction of your trades. A diamond bottom is the reverse effect, with the same reverse pattern but at the bottom of a downward trend. As the waves begin to flatten out, a change of direction is indicated and a breakout to the upside is due. Any binary options trader who has been finishing in the money with Put options should therefore change to Call options in order to take advantage of the trend reversal. This strategy is based on the concept that if an asset suddenly moves in one direction, it is unlikely to remain at that peak but will move back towards its original position, if not all the way. So, an investor should buy an option, Call or Put depending on whether the price has risen or fallen suddenly, on the assumption that it will soon return and stabilize. Of course, no one knows when an asset has reached its peak. So close monitoring of the asset and researching why it peaked is vital to deduce the likelihood and timing of its return.

41
Banc de Binary

Straddle
The Straddle is a more complicated strategy, because it involves buying both a Call and Put option on the same asset. The investor straddles the asset at a low point as well as a high point, and therefore the area in between the two options can be twice as successful. This is a particularly useful strategy to protect oneself in volatile markets. If the price at expiry is somewhere between the two levels, the trader finishes in-the-money on both and maximizes profit. In a worse case scenario, at least one prediction will be correct and the trader minimizes losses. Although the setup itself can be difficult, the straddle is one of the best strategies in binary options trading. The trader is looking to place a Put as high as possible on the asset and then when the market drops, place a Call in the opposite direction as it returns back up. This means the trader always has at least one trade expiring in the money and he will either take a minimal loss or gain a huge reward for landing both trades for a large sum. The Call and Put options do not have to be bought at the same time. Rather an initial option can be bought with a longer expiry and the second purchased once the assets direction is more established. Note that the straddle in binary option trading is different from vanilla options since the purchase price and exercise rights differ between the two.

42
Binary Options Trading Strategies

Knock-on effect
This is perhaps the most logical of all strategies, and is based on the concept that a move on one option will have a knock-on effect on another. For example, the price of a stock may affect the price of the index in which it is traded or if a country heavily relies on a particular asset, then a change in that commoditys price may affect the countrys exchange rate. For example, a company might announce a major new product launch or a development breakthrough that causes its share price to rise but also drives down the value of the companys competitors. In this case, a trader would buy a Call option on the company and Put options on all of its main rivals. The key is to understand the interrelationships between assets and to correctly anticipate price movements. The trader receives his payout; it does not matter what happens to the price after that. If the price does not reach the stated level before the expiration of the contract, the trader will lose and forfeit his stake.

43
Banc de Binary

Risk Management
One of the most important considerations for any trader is how to manage risk. Although binary options offer low risk compared to other types of trading, the possibility of loss is always given. While there is no strategy that can fully avoid risk, there are numerous methods an investor can utilize to minimize his financial exposure when he enters the market.

Analyze and research

Following a hunch will generally end in failure and a trader should never simply guess when he makes a trade. The primary way to minimize risk is to undertake thorough asset analysis. Technical analysis will establish price patterns that indicate future movements; fundamental analysis will identify events that will cause price changes. Making successful trades is often about getting in quickly; watching the news and announcements will ensure a trader stays ahead of the market and understands how events are likely to affect prices. The information a trader utilizes should always be current. A trader must act quickly to predict price movements before its too late.

44
Risk Management

Learn from your mistakes

It is important to remember that trading mistakes occur from time-to-time and it is beneficial to accept each mistake as a lesson and to try to learn from the experience. Traders should build up a history of both successful strategies and those that have not worked, so that he can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. Gradually, over time, the investor will build up his success rate overall.

Follow trends
Trying to beat the market does not usually work. Investors should generally watch for trends and try to follow them by purchasing mainly Call options in a bull market and Put options in a bear market. Traders should also remain alert to how the market is moving so that he can alter his tactics as soon as a reversal looks likely.

45
Banc de Binary

Risk and reward

Trading is a balance between risk and reward. A greater appetite for risk offers higher returns, along with the reduced probability of success. A safer bet will increase the chance of a profit but will, in turn, pay less and take longer to accumulate significant profits. The best strategy is usually to go for a mix of trades. A trader should only opt for a riskier trade if he has a firm reason to believe he is correct in his assumptions. He should opt for the safer option if he is not totally sure. Needless to say, if a trader entertains real doubts about a trade, he should avoid it altogether.

Familiarity
Risk can be minimized by trading assets with which an investor is already familiar. For example, a trader who also works in the oil business should aim to trade oil on the commodities market or the shares of major oil companies. However, trading a single asset will be far too restrictive, and will limit the opportunities for trading success. Trading different assets in various markets will spread the risk, so the best advice is always to gain familiarity in new areas by performing sufficient research and analysis as outlined above.

46
Risk Management

Limiting your trades

Making a succession of bad trades, will quickly exhaust available profit. When a trader hits a bad run, he can simply stop trading. If he does that, however, he wont know when his bad run has come to an end. The best strategy, therefore, would be to keep trading but with reduced stakes. A good risk management strategy is often to limit each trade to a set percentage of existing capital. A ballpark figure would be to never risk more than 8.5% of existing profits on one trade. This means a trader would have to make eleven consecutive bad trades before he completely expended his capital. It also means that the amount at risk gets progressively less when a trader is losing but then starts to increase when he enters a winning streak so that, in turn, he also stands to make more profit.

Choosing a Binary Options

The growing popularity of binary options trading has attracted a number of brokers to the market. All have key differentiating features. Since a broker is a necessity in order to trade binary options, it is important to choose one who provides the right level of service for your needs. Some brokers may offer only a limited range of tradable assets in a relatively small number of markets, which will seriously restrict an investors opportunities to trade and make money. A trader should look for those brokers who offer plenty of assets across a range of global markets. In practice, this means there will usually be at least one open market most of the time and better opportunities and availability for trading assets of choice.

Trading platform
Following a hunch will generally end in failure and a trader should never simply guess when he makes a trade. The primary way to minimize risk is to undertake thorough asset analysis. Technical analysis will establish price patterns that indicate future movements; fundamental analysis will identify events that will cause price changes.

s Broker
Ease of use
Depositing money and withdrawing accumulated profits should be a simple, quick and inexpensive process. Traders should not be unnecessarily prevented from trading nor kept waiting for their money. In particular, look for a broker that offers multiple methods of depositing and withdrawing money, and where the process isnt an over-complicated one.

Keeping it safe
Needless to say, security is crucial. The broker should offer a safe trading environment. There should be a privacy policy and adequate authentication to prevent unauthorized access to accounts. It is vital that all data and transmissions are securely encrypted so that personal information is not divulged. One of the most respected providers of online security and authentication solutions is the company Comodo, with over 200,000 business customers and more than 7,000 affiliates and business partners working to make the Internet more secure. Any broker that has this level of security will provide the safest possible trading platform. Check and compare what each broker provides and choose the one with the highest level of security.

49
Banc de Binary

Service and support

However experienced a trader becomes, he is likely to want a degree of support at some time. Brokers offer different levels of service that are designed to meet the needs of different types of traders, depending on the type of account that is selected. There should always be a help line, an email address and a live chat facility in case a trader requires urgent support. Look at the type and extent of information that is provided and how often it is updated. Most importantly ensure the information provided is accurate and of the highest quality. Some brokers offer different accounts directly aimed at different levels of trader from the novice to the experienced to the seasoned professional. It is sometimes possible to start with a practice account where investors can trade without risking any money (although, of course, without accumulating any profit either). Certain brokers, however, will require a deposit even for a practice account. Superseding that, there should be a basic account with a low deposit requirement right up to a top of the range account that requires a much higher deposit but provides a more personal and comprehensive service. In light of the vast array of accounts, brokers and platforms available, it is absolutely essential to choose the broker that is a good fit for you.

Taking a Trading Bonus Pros and Cons

Some brokers will pay bonuses to traders, for example, on sign-up, which will generally be a percentage of the initial deposit. Trading bonuses offer great value and extra trading leverage, which will boost the traders options to make a greater number of trades and become familiar with binary options trading more quickly. Matching bonuses may be made on subsequent deposits so that the trader has further additional funds available. The amounts of these bonuses may vary depending on how the trader makes the deposit, indicating that there are preferred methods that the broker is trying to encourage. Bonuses are sometimes paid when significant financial events are due so that traders can take advantage of the opportunities they present. There are also rebate bonuses, where traders receive a percentage of the amount theyve traded over a period. As always, a trader should research and uncover the most enticing offers for him. However, just because the money is essentially free, it should not be used recklessly by undertaking trades that are essentially gambles. By all means, traders should make deposits in ways that will earn them the biggest benefits, but they should not deposit more money than they can afford simply to get the bonus money.

57
Banc de Binary

Banc De Binary types of trading bonus

Deposit matches
An account will be given added value when a trader consistently deposits funds. Banc De Binary matches the traders real deposit by a certain amount as per the following example: If Banc De Binary offers a 50% deposit match of up to $50,000, which means that if the trader were to open a new trading account and make an initial deposit of $1,200, Banc De Binary would instantly fund the account with an additional $600, raising the account balance to $1,800. When trading with bonus leverage a trader must be cautious. It is truly appealing to trade with $20,000 when the initial deposit was only $10,000, but there is a downside. The trader may close higher trades and make more money initially (or in the long run), but the possibility of losing money increases exponentially. Options trading can be risky; confidence and responsibility are the keys to successful trading.

Sign-up bonus
To help traders starting out with binary options trading online, Banc De Binary offers new customers a trading bonus on their first deposit as well as re-deposit bonuses. The sign-up bonus gives new traders an extra boost to their trading balance so that they can open their first positions with Banc De Binarys bonus money until they accrue more experience in the binary options market and more confidence using the Banc De Binary platform. After receiving the sign-up bonus, traders are given several other opportunities to boost their account balance. Banc De Binary often offers a broker bonus before significant financial events to enable traders to take advantage of the market volatility at those times.
