Our staff has conducted an extensive check and review our two leading, recommended, and trusted binary options brokers accepting real money deposits from traders.

Binary Options Indices: Best Brokers and Recommended Trading Strategies

Posted on by John Thiel

The main advantage of trading binary options indices is in the fact that you don’t have to speculate or guess the exact range or outcome on a given trade when the contract expires. The same is true for currency pairs (Forex trading), Commodities, and Stock, when trading digital options (AKA exotic options) you just have to predict the general direction correctly (up/down or above/ below). Furthermore, when you trade binary index options you stand to make a lot money very quickly. On the other hand, if you don’t manage your risk properly you can lose it just as fast. Still, if you …

Binary Options Brokers Accepting Paypal 2012

Posted on by John Thiel

Paypal is by far the most popular and recognized ewallet among binary options traders as well as anyone else wanting to purchase goods or services online.

After checking out all the banking section, confirming this with the site owners, and then finally using our Paypal account to deposit, we have come to the conclusion that Empire Option is the only broker that actually processes Paypal transactions in many …

A Comparison of the Best Binary Options Bonuses

Posted on by John Thiel

Binary options brokers will offer you bonuses as incentives. Before you start comparing which broker gives you the best or biggest bonus, it is crucial to draft a bonus strategy based on your trading style. For example, technical traders will typically choose a bonus that is relatively low and/or with a low trading volume requirement attached to it. Scalpers or high frequency traders may even want to forgo their bonus privileges because it damages their ability to move in and out of trades and locks them in to a predefined trading contact based on a minimum trading quota.

High Frequency Trading Strategy in Binary Options

Posted on by John Thiel

Is high frequency trading even possible in binary options? Well, assuming you don’t have access to a sophisticated trading algorithm automating the trading process, I highly recommend you stay away from it. However, purely from a theoretical perspective the fundamental analysis is correct. Let’s say you have the option of moving in and out of multiple short term positions in milliseconds based on a predictive analysis of a specific currency, stock, index, or commodity. Let’s continue to assume that that this will be based on the processing speed of the financial markets. Purely from a theoretical perspective you would be …
