What Are Binary Options?

Intuitive

A Binary Option is effectively a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ question. For example, will the Wall Street 30 close above 12375 today? If "Yes" is the answer, the Binary settles at 100. If "No", it settles at 0.

 

Capped Risk

Binary Options only range between 0 and 100, so your maximum risk is always fixed.

 

Fast moving

A small move in the underlying market can make a big difference to the value of your Binary Option.

 

Flexible

You can place orders to trade out of a binary position at any point before expiration. No need to "hold" until expiration like European style binaries. You can leave exit and/or entry limits on any option contract price that you are trading. You can leave orders inside or outside of the spread. No need to enter at the market. The option is yours.

 

Binaries are similar to traditional options but with one key difference: their final settlement value will be 0 or 100. This means your maximum risk and reward are always known and capped.

 

For each market, listed options offer a variety of expiry times:

 

  • Intraday/hourly
  • Daily
  • Weekly

 

There is a broad range contracts and Binary Options based on the value of major spot forex rates, benchmark equity index futures from the U.S., Europe and Asia, wide range of commodity futures and major economic events in the financial calendar, letting you back your judgment on financial releases as well as hedging your exposures (nonfarm payrolls, jobless claims etc.)

 

Small contract sizes give you easy access to these global markets.
