The Binary Options Experts

Binary options are similar to regular options in many respects, but with one key difference. Binary options are based on a system where maximum profit and loss are known beforehand. Because of this feature, it is relatively easy to calculate risk and reward for any binary option trade. How do Binary Options Brokers Make Money? There are basically two ways how a binary options broker make money. The first way is to take away the money invested by traders on lost trades. You will learn how to trade binary options and how the profit/loss is calculated. To gain context, it is recommended for the readers to read on the ‘Binary options overview’ article to especially learn about the terminology such as CALL, PUT, In-the-money, Out-of-the-money and so on. But what of legitimate binary option trading offered by top 10 binary options brokers or in government-approved exchanges such as the NADEX (North American Derivatives Exchange). Is there a way for the ordinary investor to play the game and win?

EU Traders – It is still possible to trade binary options, despite the ESMA ban. Brands regulated in Australia for example, will still accept EU traders and offer binary options. Our broker lists are tailored to your location – those listed will accept traders from your region. It is also possible for EU traders to trade as a ‘professional’.

The ESMA rules only apply to retail investors, not professionals. Traders must meet 2 of these 3 criteria to be classed as professional: • Trade size and volume. 10 trades of ‘significant size’ per quarter (Brokers views on ‘significant’ vary) • Portfolio Size. A total investment portfolio of €500k or more. Holdings can be across brokers. • Experience. You work, or have worked, in the financial industry and gained experience in complex financial instruments.
