Introduction


This e-book is intended to help both beginning and experienced forex
traders understand how binary options can enhance, improve and
even replace some of your current forex strategies.

They're still a relatively new phenomenon that's why most
traditional forex traders don't know a whole lot about them. In fact,
it's only been since mid-2008 that trading platforms have been
offering simplified versions of exchange-traded binary options to the
retail trader.

Their growth has been very fast though, and today there's around 90
such platforms (including white label products). What they all have
in common is a new way for you to secure more consistent profits for
less time and effort than what you're used to.

And isn't that what trading is all about? Making more money for less
work?

That's why you'll find binary options to be a terrific addition to your
arsenal of top trading tools. They're an excellent, simple way to make
money faster.

They're very easy to understand too!

In the few minutes it takes to read this e-book, you'll know all the
critical points needed to successful trade and profit with them.

Let's start with the most basic stuff first and advance quickly ...


What Exactly Are Binary Options?


If you're not familiar with options at all, an option gives you the right
(but not the obligation) to purchase the underlying asset on which the
option is based ... at a specified strike price ... on or before a specified
date or time period.

You acquire that right by paying a premium to the seller of that option.

You then make a profit if the asset price exceeds your specified price target before it
expires. (We'll explain all this in more detail in just a moment.)

Now, binary options are the simplest kind of option available because the payout is
always one of two scenarios. With binary options, you either receive:

The fixed payout determined at the time your option is purchased

OR

Nothing at all (you lose the amount risked in the trade)

There's no in-between. You lose a fixed amount or win a fixed amount.

Therefore the "binary" in binary options refers to the fact there's only two possible
outcomes. Which explains why binary options are also referred to as all-or-nothing
options ... digital options ... and fixed return options (FROs) too. (They're all the same
thing but you'll encounter the 'binary options' name most often when doing any kind of
web search.)

Other types of options can be much more complicated and difficult to understand. But
binary options are literally a point-and-click operation and require no complicated math
or formulas to implement.


A Few Quick Terms You Should Know


Here's a short list of terms you should know to understand binary options better. We've
mentioned a couple of them already ...

Asset: The currency pair upon which the option is based. e.g. EUR/USD. This can be any
commonly-traded currency pair, or maybe one of the more exotic pairs. The availability
of any exotics depends what your binary options broker has to offer.

Premium: The fixed fee you pay to acquire an option. This is the amount you forfeit if
the trade is a loser, and there are NO extra fees associated with this amount.

Expiry Date: The time or date at which your option expires and the price is examined to
see if you are in, at or out the money. With Forex binary options, this time and date can
be very flexible!

Strike Price: The asset price at which your option will be in, at, or out of the money.
Again for this see below ...

In the Money: If you win with your trade, you're in the money because the price
moved past the strike price of your option before it expired.

Out the Money: If the price doesn't move enough (or it moves too late) you're out the
money and you have a losing trade.

At the Money: If the price at expiration is identical to your strike price, you're neither
right nor wrong and your investment is returned in full with binary options.

e.g. For a EUR/JPY binary option, your chosen strike price could be at 142.75 and the
expiry at 22:00 hours today.

It really is that simple!

And you'll have your choice of pairs to pick from too. EUR/USD, USD/JPY and so on
are all readily available. In general, the availability (and liquidity) of binary options is
about the same as for the underlying Forex pair.


What Kinds of Binary Options
Are Available?


All binary options pay out the same whether the price is 1 or 100 pips in your favor.
They all pay out a fixed loss if you're wrong there's no middle ground.

But there are of course a couple key difference between certain binary options:

Whether a given option is a call or a put

How long it will be until the option expires as a win or a loss

Let's discuss the call/put difference first:

A Call/Up option is what you buy when you expect the price to rise. It's
equivalent to buying the underlying currency pair.

OR

A Put/Down option is what you buy when you expect the price to drop. It's the
equivalent to shorting the underlying currency pair.

So you can go long or short simply by buying the appropriate binary option.

The second difference between options is how long you have until they expire.

Binary options are also offered in fixed durations which vary by broker: The shortest
time frame is 60 seconds (yes, 1 minute). That's the fastest one possible for quick profits!

There are also other increments ranging up to 30 minutes, an hour and even the close of
the trading day. Which interval you trade depends on what a given binary options broker
offers you ...

... and of course YOUR expectations of what the price will be at a certain time.

The expiry of binary options is where you have the greatest flexibility. If you have an
opinion about the day's direction in a given pair, you can buy the appropriate call or put
that expires at the end of the day.

If you're confident about where it's going in the next hour, you buy that call or put
instead.

And if you playing the shortest possible fluctuations, then take the 1-minute calls or puts
for quick gains.

It's completely up to you which timeframe you want to work with, but 1-minute options
offer some unique opportunities not available at the longer intervals.


What Special Advantages
Do Binary Options Have?


As you've probably noticed, the key advantages of binary options are simplicity and
flexibility.

There are no bid/ask spreads ... leverage ratios ... deposit margins ... stop-loss strategies ...
hidden transaction fees ... or interest rate differentials to worry about. This provides you
with some exceptional conveniences not available in any other kind of trading.

For example ...

Have you ever been killed on a widened spread during expected (or freakishly
unexpected) news that forced you out when the spread exceeded your stop loss?

That can't happen with binary options.

How about being handed an unusually big loss from a huge move that went way
past your stop before you were filled?

Again, that can't happen with binary options.

Those tragedies are due to volatility and in regular forex trading, too much volatility can
be a disaster. But in contrast, volatility becomes your friend when you trade with binary
options!

Binary options allow you to strictly define and minimize your risk in ways you simply
can't with regular Forex. You'll enjoy greater success simply by being able to manage
your risk exposure with a high degree of precision.

All you have to focus on is getting the direction of the next move correct. The magnitude
of the move isn't important as long as it passes your strike price. A move that exceeds
your strike price by even 1 pip gives you a full payout!

Now isn't that a lot simpler than what you're doing now?

It all boils down to these key points:

Simplicity: Binary options are simple to understand and straightforward to trade - you
only need to worry about the direction of the currency pair. Will it close above or below
the target price? That's it!

Transparency: With binary options, there are no surprises in the form of unexpectedly
large losses. This lets you trade with less stress and enables you to make better decisions
overall. Which in turn lets you generate a higher percentage of wins!

Limited Risk and Predetermined Payout: Your payoff is fixed and pre-determined so
your potential risk and reward is always known.

Fast Payoff: With 1-minute binary options in particular, you can take your profits very
rapidly and move on to the next opportunity immediately. This means that with accurate
forecasting (a.k.a. great signals), you can build account equity faster than with any other
kind of trading.

Now we're going to talk about the incredibly flexibility you get with binary options:
selecting a suitable expiry time.

But that fits best with trading strategies, so let's move to the next section.













How To Trade Binary Options
For Maximum Profit


All the fundamental and technical analysis skills you've used for regular Forex trading
apply to binary options trading too.

Trading off news, chart patterns, indicator signals and so forth is just as valid as before.
You're just using a different instrument to get the job done. One with far fewer moving
parts.

The one outcome or the other property of binary options makes trading a whole lot
easier because your decision-making has been simplified. In fact, the following steps are
all you have to worry about:




1. You select the currency pair you want to trade. Let's say it's EUR/USD and the
market price is 1.31041.

2. You pick the direction you think it will go. You're bullish, so you click Call
Option (or UP, depending on the broker interface)

3. You enter a trade amount. We'll use $100 here, although many brokers will allow
you to risk as little as $5 a trade.

4. You select an expiry time. You feel a strong move in the next minute is
imminent, so you select 1 minute timeframe.

5. You confirm the trade.

After that, the broker will have your Open Position data displayed as the time counts
down. And when time is up, you'll have your result:

A loss of $100 if you're wrong. And a $175 win if you're right.

That's because payouts on binary options 75% of the premium. So this means you'll
pocket $175 on your $100 trade if the EUR/USD price is higher than 1.31041 just one
minute from now.

Yes -- that's 75% profit ($75 in this example) in just one minute.

Can you see the incredible power of this type of trading if you're skilled at predicting the
market direction?

In just 30 minutes, you could rack up a huge amount of profit with as little as a 2:1 win-
to-loss ratio. And things only get better if you're good enough to deliver an even higher
ratio than that!

But let's keep it at 2:1 (a 66% win rate) for this example. In 20 days at 20 trades a day
(easy to do when each trade is just 1 minute long), you could turn $200 into $3,570!

Here's a simple table showing you exactly how fast your account would grow:















And note that this is very possible even when risking a small 5% on each trade. That's
just $10 on a $200 account.

You can play the short hops and blips in the market with no worries that you'll get
sideswiped with a huge loss. If you're wrong, it's over with quickly.

And if you're right ... you're set up, paid out and ready for the next profit ASAP!

Note that you didn't have to spend a single moment fretting over the spread, paying a
commission, adjusting a stop loss or a profit target, or exiting the trade in this example.
None of that matters when you trade binary options trading becomes as hassle-free as
you'll ever find.

Now let's look at a few strategies you can consider to make the most of binary options.



Some Useful Binary Option
Strategies Worth Trying


Scalping

If you're particularly interested in scalping trades, using binary options is absolutely the
best way to do these thanks to their limited loss property.

This includes trading the news or any other spectacular event where the market can
move very quickly. Sure, you won't get a huge windfall profit using binary options if the
price explodes in your direction.

But your potential loss is capped and ultimately that's much more important because
you can't trade at all if you've been wiped out by a large loss.

Meanwhile, there's nothing stopping you from entering one trade after another (1 minute
at a time) once you're sure the market is going to keep its explosive momentum going and
going.


Chain Reactions


You can make even more profit by exploiting common chain reactions across different
currencies in response to news or other events.

What's good for the USD is often bad for the EUR or JPY (or gold, if your broker offers
binary options trading in that asset too). And vice versa, of course.

Because there's no margin or leverage to worry about, you can put on as many different
trades as you want to take advantage of simultaneous price moves across different
currency pairs.

This is the quickest and easiest way to put on multiple trades without getting forced out
due to a lack of margin in your account.



Trends and Breakouts


Is the market moving in a nice trend? Or just breaking out from a tight range?

Then enter one high-probability trade after another. Buy calls in an uptrend and puts in a
downtrend. You can rack up a LOT of profits one after the other by following the trend.

And yet your loss is limited if you're too late and the trend is truly over.


Trend Reversals


Did the market fail to set a new high or low after a prolonged rise or decline?

You can test it for a reversal with a small, low-risk binary options trade. If you're wrong,
you can get back into the earlier trend after a limited loss.

And if you're right, you've got your first profit in the new trend already. Then you can
scale up your trading size once you're confident the market's truly gaining momentum.

It's easy to become more daring about testing where the market's going next with
flexibly-sized, limited-risk binary options.


Channels


If the market has no trend and it's locked into a fixed range, binary options are an ideal
way to play the support and resistance levels.

Buy calls at support and puts at resistance. There's no more worrying that you'll get
stopped out by a sudden price spike against you.

As long as you've given yourself enough time to expiry, you'll get your profit as the price
returns to the range you've identified.

This works for the counter-trend surges within big trends too. Instead of worrying about
limit orders and stop orders to get in, you can just use binary options instead!






The Best Binary Option Choice
for the Fastest Profits


As you can see from the previous sections, there are a lot of ways to make money from
binary options. The setup is simple as 1-2-3 and you don't even have to worry about
exiting your trades once you're in it's all taken care of for you.

Get the market direction right by even 1 pip at expiry, and you've made 75% on your
money.

What's more, making profits doesn't get any faster than trading with 1-minute binary
options.

You can of course apply exactly the same principles to 30 minute, 1 hour or end of day
options too. But you won't make money nearly as quickly as at the 1-minute level.

Why wait longer to make a 75% return when you can do it in 1 minute instead?

This is especially important if you're busy with work, family or other commitments that
don't give you much time to trade.

Because no matter how crowded your schedule, you can fit in a few minutes here and
there to review the markets ... put on some 1-minute trades ... and then get back to
whatever you were doing earlier, right?

But it's totally up to you.

If you prefer longer time frames, then there's nothing stopping you from making money
at the pace you like best. Binary options work just the same no matter how long (or short)
your personal profit horizon happens to be.

The 1-minute version just gets you there a lot faster!


Final Words and Advice


By now you should understand exactly what binary options are and how they can help
you improve your trading.

The fear of losing money is a powerful one but binary options keep you from suffering
a catastrophic loss if things go badly wrong.

You're also able to tailor the time-to-expiry of your option to match what you see in front
of you. Never get stopped out again by an adverse move that slides against you before
going in your favor as you originally forecast.

As long as you've given yourself enough time, you'll finish in the money.

And you can enter into a position immediately without worrying about stop losses, limit
orders or other complications. Just pick a direction and an expiry time and you're done!

If you're one of those traders who has problems staying in a trade due to worry and stress,
then binary options offer yet another advantage for you: pick a suitably short time to
expiry and then you'll exit the market at that very moment ...

... without you having to take another action.

You'll be out automatically with your full 75% profit (or not). Not having to make that
extra exit decision will not only save you a lot of stress, but also your mind will be free
to concentrate on the next entry when you see it. That's peace of mind that will only
improve your trading immensely.

And if you're really new to the idea of risking real money in the market, you can get
started with as little as $5 a trade too.

It really is that simple and straightforward.

So seriously consider taking the next step to improve your forex trading results with
binary options.
