How to trade binary options?

A forex binary option is a financial contract. In case a contractual condition is fulfilled, a binary option can yield a stable high profit, which is assessed in advance. For both intraday and expiry forex binary options, a profit is calculated by means of multiplying an option value by 1.8. A risk is limited to an option premium (the amount you paid to buy an option). After an option is bought, a premium or option value is debited from a client's account. In case an option is in-the-money, a full premium plus a profit return to a client's account. If an option is out-of-the-money, a trader loses only a premium. Any minor change in an asset's value can bring a profit. An investor can buy an unlimited number of binary options in a trading day. In essence, an option deal is considered to be winning, if a trader has made the right forecast and a contractual condition has been fulfilled. In other words, a strike price should be either higher or lower than a market price at an expiration time.

You will find out an amount of your earnings when you fill in a special form in the Forex binary options section and click on the button "calculate profit".
