The Appealing Nature of Binary Options Trading

Posted on by John Thiel

Why is it that so many traders find binary options so appealing these days? Is it because this amazing financial instrument is finally getting the attention it deserves, or maybe it has to do with the excitement of high risk and high rewards with an extremely simple premise; Call or put (Above or Below), that’s all you have to guess and if you get the direction right your contract expires in the money. You can develop your trading strategy and decide if you want to invest in Forex currency pairs, indices, commodities, or stock. But at the end of the …

What to Expect When Trying to Cash Out Your Winnings From a Binary Options Broker

Posted on by John Thiel

When trading with a Cysec-licensed binary options broker, one has to factor in that it may not be good enough to execute winning trades, you also have to understand what the trading volume requirements are when you attempt to withdraw your well-earned winnings. In my previous post about how the bonus mechanism works with the new platforms I explain what to do in order to meet the requisites, however I have collected some feedback from some of my colleagues who have tried to cash out prior to meeting the criteria and were officially labeled as abusers or fraudsters. So why …

Trading the News: The Cyclical Strategy for Identifying Bullish Patterns in Binary Options

Posted on by John Thiel

Seasoned binary options traders know that there are certain dates or events that have a repetitive or cyclical nature, and once these events take place the market reactions are almost always the same. This makes things more or less predictable, and this is also when opportunity presents itself and a lot of money can be made. The only thing that’s left is to identify the entry points, beware of traps, and have a reversal (exit) strategy ready.  The following is a very partial list of events that trigger cyclical or known trading patterns: Non Farm Payrolls: The non-farm payroll employment report …

Perceived Influence of European Central Bank Policies on the VIX: Understanding Market Sentiment in Binary Options Trading

Posted on by John Thiel

Getting a feel for the markets is an acquired and required skill you must develop if you want to put together a successful binary options trading strategy. Before we start, it’s important not to confuse the Euro VIX with the US VIX as traded at the CBOE. The CBOE Volatility Index is structured according to real-time pricing of the S&P 500 Stock Options Index (Symbol: SPX). The Velocity Index is based on a predictive modeling algorithm that attempts to forecast investor confidence of futures trading based on a 30 day period. The Euro VIX (Symbol:V2X:IND) operates under the same premise, however …

Rogue Traders Claim They Exploited a 60 Second Loophole in Binary Options

Posted on by John Thiel

I have recently enjoyed the company of some “basement traders” that have openly stated they were able to exploit a systematic weakness they found while executing 60 second trades with two very prominent and well-known binary options brokers. At first I was very standoffish and reserved about these rogue methods as they force the broker to enforce rough policies that eventually hurt the average trader. However the more I hear about the scams going out there, the more I get receptive to these type of unorthodox make-money systems and methods. Now, my friend Larry is a retired airline executive living …

Your Binary Options Make Money Trading Guide 2012‏

Posted on by John Thiel

So why is it that some traders are always more successful than others at making money trading binary options? I often ask myself this question, because assuming both traders are relatively intelligent, educated, and start off with the same amount of investment capital – what sets them apart? Is there a winning recipe or cheat sheet for executing optimal trades? The answers vary, but after speaking to my colleagues it is plain to see that most of the successful traders I know have the following characteristics, mind set, and work methodologies in common. Common Psycholgical and Personal Traits Most Successful Traders …

The Five Golden Rules of Trading Binary Options Online

Posted on by John Thiel

I’m sure every binary options trader out there has made a bad call and mis-interpreted signals or market sentiment. Sometimes when you look at the resistance line your sixth sense tells you something is wrong, but in fact there is nothing wrong and all your trading colleagues are making a killing and profiting while you are biting your nails. We’ve all been there, we suffered a loss and lost our self confidence. This is probably the worst thing that can happen to a trader, but it’s also the best because if you remain calm and maintain your focus and composure …
