binary options

Re: BINARY OPTIONS -IF NOT ONE THING, IT'S ANOTHER

I don't know much but I am cautious. I do know that I have written to nadex and the email server returns that no such email address exists. So even the so called regulated platform brokers seem scammish. I wish it were not the case but I cannot afford to take these risks.

1. I 've read some do not respond, or give bogus excuses to not pay your returns
2. Others do but their banking stipulations do not fit the US requirements
3. The list goes on if not one thing, there is another..

Bottom line, if anyone truly can find a legitamate Binary Options broker with all
the necessary security measures in place, please let me know.

Look forward to a response, please.

Much appreciated
!!
 
Binary options regulation is important and all traders must know the following:

Bonuses:
Bonus restrictions - Non regulated binary options companies wont let you withdraw your money if bonus given
Bonus conditions - Regulated binary options companies will let you a withdraw the money at any time even if condition is volume based trading

Pricing Transparency :

  • Spread: Non regulated binary options will add spreads as much as they feel like which makes it not a 50/50 chance as binary trading should be

  • No Spread: Regulated binary options will never add spreads as they may have loose their license.


US based clients can and should only trade with exchange binary options broker according to the CFTC ( Nadex is currently the only option)
Non- Us clients can and should only trade with regulated and licensed binary options brokers ( Tradesmarter and Marketpunter are the only option i know)

Since i launched a review site last year i got many inputs from clients that had good and bad experience. I will update my site soon.
 
Non-US traders can trade with Nadex through PFGbest ...
 
They are all legitimate, but the only I can recommend is OptionBit.

One you should NOT USE is bulloption. I got only a portion of my money back and it took foreverrr, months.
 
Nadex.com is a part of the IG Group. I trade with IG Index which is available to all but US clients, Nadex is only for US clients and only for binary options. I can confirm I have traded with IG Index since 2003 and I have never ever had problems withdrawing money or with trading.

I used an unregulated broker called TraderXP which was based in Cyprus. I deposited 3000EUR, however they have not let me withdraw my deposit or my profit. To be blunt, if they are not regulated in the USA, UK, or Australia, I would not even give the broker a second look. IG Index, Nadex, and Market Punter all fit the bill. I would trade with anyone of these three, safe in the knoweldge that they are regulated and forced to comply with local laws!
 


From the feedback I've received startoptions, tradesmarter, marketpunter and traderxp are certainly legitimate companies, though trader experience can vary quite a bit. Anyone looking to open an account should speak to one of the brokers and do your homework a bit. I would suggest looking at regulatory status (as far as I know Tradesmarter and Market Punter are regulated in Australia as opposed to Cyprus for some of the other platforms) also take a look at the payouts and other features that are important to you, of course.
 
No, they are scamming. They manipulate prices which you can see if you run a live FXCM feed while trading. I've downloaded the brower code and can see that they let you win at first (security level=0), then when you win a little they raise you to (security level=1) which means they display prices different than the actual price by about 20 pips. If you still find a way to win they upgrade you to (security level=3) which prevents you from betting agianst the direction they are cheating. If you ever see "option suspended", you have reached level 3 or 4.

I get option suspended quite often. Does anyone else get this too?
 
Anyone wishing to trade binary options must be confident that their money is secure. There are, obviously, some disreputable companies out there.

I have had accounts with IG and GFT, both of whom are regulated by the FSA and offer binary bets. I've never had a problem withdrawing funds from either of them.
 
Has anybody tried Lazy Day Trader from Keith Jones?! It has promising offers. It runs on OptionBit. I really don't know much about binary trading so I want all the information and advice I can get.

I had similar communications from him. He, recently, seems to have switched from OptionBit to TradeRush. Neither of these companies fill me with any confidence and independent reviews aren't encouraging.

I did, in fact, buy a manual from him. The reason for buying it was to gain more knowledge of trading binary options and relevant methods. Unfortunately, the manual was just an explanation of the forex markets. I requested a refund, from ClickBank, and received one. I have no idea whther his system is any good or not but, from my experience, obtaining a refund isn't a problem.
 
Glad to hear that! I was about to deposit money when I read this post! Thank you very much! =))
 
I'd like to share some observations here. I'm a very experienced trader but, admit to being a complete novice where binary options are concerned.

One of the worrying elements, when thinking about trading binaries, is that many firms come under the supervision of "mickey mouse" regulatory authorities. I don't have any confidence in companies regulated in Cyprus. If the company went bust, I think your chances of compensation, from the Cypriot government, may be between 0 and zero. I have never seen any evidence of claimants being paid compensation by the Cypriot financial authorities.

Whichever company, we trade with, should come under the auspices of a proper regulatory authority. It's essential that a genuine, investor compensation scheme exists. It's hard enough to make profits from trading without having to deal with even more phoney brokers and flakey regulators.

From my own research, it appears that binary options brokers are the biggest "rip off" merchants in the world of trading. If anyone can prove me wrong, then please do so. I would welcome getting shot down in flames, as a result of this post. So far, I haven't found a "binary options only" broker that I could have any confidence in.
 
you can go with Nadex ( regulated binary exchange belongs to IG ) in the US , you can use pfgbest as a broker ....

I completely agree with you alan5616. I'm a bit of a newbie to trading and i've spent many hours studying both legit trading and binary options trading and to be honest i'm a little worried about the latter.

Nadex and Igindex are both related and they are both regulated but if you read the small print you will notice that the regulation does not include binary trading. In fact they are regulated by the gambling commission (which is better than nothing i suppose).

But traders beware of these good looking sites from cyprus promising 70-80% profits in 5minutes etc. I've read a hell of a lot of bad reviews regarding these companies and it disgusts me that nobody seems to have the power to close these sites down. They promise the world and they actually are pretty good to you at first (just to suck you in) and then the nightmare begins!!

Money that you have earned will not ever get to you and also they seem to change their algorithms so that you can rarely win a "bet". It has nothing to do with the "real" markets and seems more like a roullette wheel at a casino (an online casino).
In particular i should stay away from Banc de binary,anyoption and any of the other sites that are located in cyprus.

It is probably safer to stay away from binary trading altogether as i hear that even ig and nadex are "cheats" (when it comes to binary)and they don't care about the real market prices and will eventually always make sure that your bet will lose and therefore they will win.

Please be aware that this is only my opinion due to reviews/complaints that i have read online and i haven't actually traded binaries on any site and therefore what i have said is purely speculative.

I guess the only satisfaction we can all get is knowing that the owners of these binary options sites will eventually rot in hell! Or even better,maybe they will have an epiphany and start being honest.

P.s I apologise for this massive thread and i hope not too many of you have fallen asleep at your computers.
 
Nadex is an exchange which belongs to iggroup , it is subject to CFTC regulatory oversight .
 
This binary options market seems to be "a can of worms". In theory, it's a perfect vehicle for retail traders that want to make short term trades. It can be as short as 1 minute, from what I have seen. Many brokers now quote 5 digit prices so, the potential for profit is a reality perhaps, I should say "virtual reality":(

On Monday, I phoned a binary options broker, who has a London office. I thought that there was a good chance they would be FSA regulated. Their employee told me that they were registered in Europe. When I enquired about a regulatory body, there was silence at the end of the phone. He then reiterated the fact that they were registered in Europe. Enough said!
 
i am Taye John, a forex trader and option trader as well.
i saw an opportunity of opening account with $50 or Euro without deposit. As soon as you open account, $50 would be deposited into your account. that sound good to get started on option trading.
Not only that, when you deposited, up to 200% of your deposit would be credited to your account.

You would also have the opportunity to open $1000 demo account and book for training on how to trade option.
Thier withdrawal is between 3-5 days.
That is one way of making money on their option site.
What is more, you can become an affliate yourself and stands a chance of having your affliate links that you can post on forum and make money from.
When you compare the affliates benefits, it can not be compare with others.
When you become an account holder and registered as an affliate, you see for yourself.
they say seen is beleiving.

I think the distinction between most binary brokers and Nadex is an important one. As pointed out above, Nadex is an exchange regulated by CFTC, same as any US-based futures exchange. That applies to any product that they list, binaries included. Like other futures/options exchanges, Nadex's revenue comes from transactional fees. Just like the other futures and options exchanges in the U.S.

CBOE is another US-based, regulated exchange that lists some binary options. Though unlike Nadex, binaries are not their main product offering. Like Nadex, CBOE is a fully regulated exchange that provides the matching mechanism for the markets they list. Revenue is transactional-based.
