  1. If the binary option expires in the money, he will receive a fixed predetermined payment between 60% to 80% return on his investment depending on the underlying asset that he is investing in.

A trader only needs to consider three aspects of trading before he invests his money:

-          The underlying asset to invest with

-          The direction of the price movements of the asset

-          The expiry time of the binary option

The Underlying Asset

This is the asset which the binary option is linked with. It can range from stocks, commodities, Forex or even indices.

The Direction of the Price Movement of the Underlying Asset

Which direction the price will move will determine what kind of option that an investor will invest in. if the investor is of the opinion that the price of the underlying asset will go up, he should then purchase a call option. If he feels that the price will move down, he should then purchase a put option.

The Expiration Time

This is the predetermined time which a binary option will end. It can be hourly, daily, weekly or monthly based. Hence, the investor has some measure of control over his investment through selecting what types of asset to invest in, the type of option to invest in depending on the direction of the price movements and the expiration time.
