Welcome to the Binary Options Market – A Short History

CBOE binary options historyBinary Options are a unique and very simple way to trade. It’s a type of trading for beginners aswell as for professionals. The further you go with learning binary options and how to use the technical and fundamental analysis available to you, the better your trading technique will be. We also encourage creating your own trading and risk management strategies to help manage your risk and capital.

The beauty of binary options trading is that you can know your possible loss as well the profit before you even make a trade. This enables you to control your capital better and more efficiently. In this way, it’s unlike Forex and other types of day trading.

The online Binary Options Market is a new one. It’s been around in its current capacity since 2008 when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permitted its access to being listed in the US markets, since then the industry has seen an explosion of brokers and traders.

Only recently it has been a regulated market. This means that as a trader you will be trading with regulated brokers. Regulated brokers must have a certain amount of capitalization to apply for regulation. It gives you, the trader peace of mind, in that you know you’re dealing with a company that has capital to back it up. A broker that is not true to its word in terms of giving you the product you expect and the withdrawals of your funds in a timely manner can be delisted from regulation.

Binary options as its name suggests works on the principle of a binary ie. a 0 or 1 trade. Will the asset you choose to trade come in the money or out of the money by a certain expiry time, that’s up to you to decide based on the charts offered by the brokers. Profits are high and with some brokers you can see some of your money back even if your trade comes in out-of-the money.

So what are we waiting for? Let’s start trading binary options.
