There are only two outcomes, hence the name binary.

Understanding Binary Options Trading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When trading binary options, the trader knows how much they will gain if the market goes as they predicted. Typically, the payout percentage in binary options trading is between 70 to 95%<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if a trader invests $100 on an underlying asset like the price of gold, they can profit from $70 to $95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simpler terms<\/strong>, binary options are a yes or no proposition<\/strong> that will either provide you with a fixed payout or have you lose the investment when the option expires. Binary options have a capped risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike forex trading, the process of trading binary options is simple<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's an example for better understanding…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppose there is speculation in the commodities market that the price of gold will go above $1,500 at 3:00 p.m. today. If your analysis suggests an increase, you buy the option. In contrast, if your market evaluation indicates a drop in the price at 3:00 p.m., you sell the option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The option's price remains within a hundred dollars and has a bid and ask price. If the binary option has a bid at $50 and an offer at $60.50 at 2:30 p.m., buying the option will cost $60.50, whereas selling the option will get you $50, excluding fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy the option $60.50 at 3:00 p.m. and the price of gold goes up to the $1,500 threshold, your binary option expires and is now valued at $100. In this trade, you have made a profit of $39.50. On the contrary, if the price moves below $1,500, your option's value will become zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bid and offer values of options will keep changing until the option expires. Your position can be closed before the expiration date and time for maximum profit or a minimal loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtually every binary option results in your proposition turning out true or false. If the proposition is true, your option gains value, and when the proposition is false, the value drops. Traders associate binary trading with a game where someone else loses trades when you make a profit and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each trader puts up a certain price or capital for their trade. The trader purchasing the option at 60.50 has a maximum risk of losing $60.50. Likewise, the trader selling can suffer a maximum loss of $39.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Facts about Binary Trading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are among new traders or seasoned in binary trades, you always need to consider the underlying asset, strike price, payout, and expiry time. Besides having strong money management skills, making a binary trade requires the trader to pay attention to the strike price as you'll decide whether the market you are trading in will move higher or lower than the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
