TradeSmarter Review | Binary Options Trading

Binary Options Trading — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:23:35 +0000

In our next binary options trading platform review we cover TradeSmarter, the Australian regulated binary options broker. To date TradeSmarter is the only regulated binary options broker offering the types of binary options contracts that have become so popular globally. TradeSmarter has made a lot of effort in improving their trading platform and offerings (see video) over the last several years, and in particular in the last twelve months. Let’s take a closer look at what makes them stand out. FIRST: Please Note that TradeSmarter is NOT presently able to accept US resident clients. US residents please consider Optionbit or AnyOption What’s to Like about Binary Options Trading with Tradesmarter? #1: It’s All About the High Yields Baby As I am writing this review I am noticing that the in the money yields on several of the forex binary options contracts are over 80%, and one (GBP/USD) is as high as 85%! You don’t have to have anywhere near as high a success rate to come out ahead when yields are that high (follow me on Twitter and send me a note and I’ll send you a link to the success calculator). Yields on nearly all the assets I reviewed [...]

Binary Options Trading for US Residents

Binary Options Trading — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:05:03 +0000

There has been some news circulation that binary options trading for US residents was no longer available. That is not in fact the case. What IS true however, is that US residents may have fewer assets to trade in binary options than their non-US counterparts. Dodd-Frank Rules Reign in Forex Binary Options Trading of US Clients As a result of some of the fine print in the Dodd-Frank Act binary options trading on a number of securities is prohibited due to how the transactions flow. Basically for those firms which have relied on OTC (or over-the-counter) forex or metals counter-parties to complete transactions find themselves no-longer compliant under the rules of Dodd-Frank Act which went into effect 7/16/2011. Those binary options brokers whose order flow meets the criteria of Dodd-Frank (basically non-OTC – read: transactions over regulated exchanges) ought to be able to do business as usual – as best I can tell. Types of Contracts Likely to Face Restrictions If you’ve been following the financial news you will probably have seen announcements by firms such as Forex.com or Anyoption which have announced they are not offering trading on forex or metals to US clients. Anyoption did ask me to [...]

Binary Option Broker | Optionbit Review

Binary Options Trading — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 12:37:03 +0000

Visitors from the optionFair review note Optionbit offers most of the same trading products as optionFairthe principal difference being that Optionbit accepts US residents as clients We have been invited by binary option broker Optionbit to review their site, policies, and offerings in order to inform the investing public about their trading site. I have to say Optionbit really does have some good strengths to offer, most notably their unique approach to binary options trading. Like some of the other brokers who offer unique binary trading solutions to their customers, their asset list is a little on the short side. On the other hand what they lack in number of securities they more than make up for in trading products offered. Take a look. Things to Like about Binary Option Broker Optionbit In a word: action. Optionbit allows the best opportunity for trading profitably in binary options. They offer a great variety of exotic contracts – call them what you will – barrier options / bounded options / range options, etc. They’re terrific products for the trader who does not wish to open a naked position, but still wishes the fixed yield of binary trading. What’s Your Choice? Extend or [...]

Binary Options Broker | optionFair Review

Binary Options Trading — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 00:01:11 +0000

In this optionFair review we cover the policies and trading site of this leading binary options broker. This review of binary options broker optionFair is honestly a welcome relief from the same old hum-drum binary options brokers. optionFair represents a breath of fresh air and innovation in an otherwise mostly bland market. It’s easy to look at the logo to the left and think to yourself, “Yep, same old assets and yields,” but that would be a gross injustice to a very innovative trading firm. Let’s take a look at some of the specifics of the TYPES of contracts offered at optionFair which you simply will not find ANYWHERE else. FIRST: Please Note that optionFair is NOT presently able to accept US and Israeli resident clients. Hopefully this will change soon. US and Israeli residents please CLICK HERE What Binary Options Trading Position Do You Want? “What sort of question is that?” you might ask. “What do you mean what trading position do I want? You only get put or call positions right?” Wrong. optionFair allows you to be on whatever side of the trade you can imagine. Remember the binary options hedging position we used to create to [...]

Binary Options Broker | StartOptions Review | Tradesmarter

Binary Options Trading — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:10:33 +0000

Binary options broker StartOptions (a white label version of TradeSmarter – see inset box) has grown by leaps and bounds in the last year. We have been excited to read about all their new offerings (securities), and their big dip into the bonus cash pool (it was about time!). Although the big bonus cash offer ended last November, we hope the big increase in participating clients during the offer motivates them to bring the big money back. We’ll let you know of course (just like we did last time!). StartOptions is essentially a white-label version of Tradesmarter. Given Tradesmarter intends to phase out the StartOptions line, best to open an account with Tradesmarter instead. They are Australian securities industry regulated. Otherwise the offerings and securities characteristics of Tradesmarter and StartOptions are effectively the same. Review of Binary Options Broker StartOptions What’s to like about StartOptions? Well first off let’s just say StartOptions hasn’t forgotten about the BIG YIELDS that binary options trading is *supposed* to be all about. While I’ve spent most of the day reviewing other brokers (you’ve read the other reviews too, right? lol just giving you a hard time…) and watching their contracts price in the range of [...]

Binary Options Broker | Binarix Review | EZTrader Review

Binary Options Trading — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 13:58:56 +0000

Binary options broker Binarix uses essentially the same platform as well known broker EZTrader. I don’t see a substantial difference between the two companies so I am going to review both of them at the same time here. Wherever we do find differences between the two brokers we will try to point them out for you. UPDATE: Sadly Binarix Trading pulled the plug on their trading operations. Their free and premium binary options signals service still remains however. GlobalOption Has Recently Acquired EZTrader Review of Binary Options Brokers EZTrader and Binarix Binarix and EZTrader use a very simple and intuitive trading platform, offering yields in the range of 58-81% depending on market conditions and whatever particular security is being traded. Options are traded either on an hourly basis or in some cases expiration comes at the end of the day. It’s easy to deposit money with either broker with a wire or credit card. Where both these companies really have a sweet spot is their offerings of bonus cash. While other brokers offer *some* bonus cash *some* of the time – it always comes with absurd trading requirements, like making 10-15 times the dollar value of the deposit plus bonus [...]

Binary Options Broker | TradersRoom Review

Binary Options Trading — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:39:54 +0000

TradersRoom is a binary options broker offering yields typical of the industry – a.k.a. around 70% on in the money trades. Although their “About Us” page claims a contact address in London, England, they claim to be a private company headquartered in the British Virgin Islands. In reality they are privately owned by a company based in Cyprus. What else is new, right? Review of Binary Options Broker TradersRoom Here are the basics on TradersRoom.com: The minimum deposit for an account is $250 (no fee on deposits made by credit/debit card). Fees on withdrawals range from $25 on wires or $10 plus postage on checks. Personally I’d go with the credit card refund or the wire. Who in heaven knows when you’d see the funds from the check – or if your bank would cash it given it will likely be from a foreign source. Accounts can be based in US dollars or Euros. Trading Details As previously mentioned, yields on in the money trades at TradersRoom pay out typically anywhere from 68-75% depending on the current market conditions and the asset traded. One interesting aspect of how they run their trading platform is that some binary options trading can [...]

Best Binary Options Broker | Who Is Best for You?

Binary Options Trading — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:01:12 +0000

Who is the best binary options broker for you? In all honesty it should be fairly simple to figure out which binary option broker you should be trading with because there are enough differences between the leading brokers that you can’t help but find the right one. First Criteria in Selecting a Binary Options Broker: Securities Offered Given we are used to having full service everywhere we go in our lives it seems rather comical to think we’d go to a favorite store (or in this case broker) and find out the store doesn’t carry our favorite products. Unfortunately that is the case in dealing with a binary options broker: not all securities are traded, and not all brokers carry the same securities. The good news is that when you find a dealer that carries the securities you want… your search is over, because odds are the other dealers aren’t covering those assets. Margins are pretty narrow for the brokers so any competition at all deeply cuts into profits. So Who Offers Which Securities? See side by side thebest binary options brokers as rated on a variety of criteria It’s pretty well a simple breakdown. AnyOption is a foreign and [...]

Binary Options | an Easy Investment That Beats Fx Trading

Binary Options Trading — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:23:20 +0000

Sponsored LinkStock market day traders are finding binary options to be an easy investment to understand. Investors rave about the ultra-short duration, high yields, and no transaction costs. Someone must have been listening to the needs of day traders when binary options were designed. The way these trades are set up are an investor will go to a trading platform where these securities are being offered. Given the relatively small size of the present market only a select few options are offered – and then only on the most recognizable, most highly liquid stocks (think Google, Microsoft, VW, BMW, GE), indices (Nasdaq) and forex cross rates (GBP/USD, USD/YEN, etc). Investing in well known items like these is another factor making binary options an easy investment to understand. These days even some popular commodities are available on binary options exchanges. Another really nice feature about working with binary options is that investors buy them in quantities similar to the way they would buy mutual funds — i.e. in exact dollar amounts. That makes it an easy investment to fit into a budget — no guess work as to what the settlement amount of a trade will be. Want to invest a [...]
