What are Binary Options?
Binary options are financial instruments that empower traders to select one of two trading
choices – executing a CALL (prediction that an asset will rise in price) or
PUT (prediction that an asset will fall in price) option bid. It also results in
one of two results – being “in the money”, if your prediction of movement is correct,
or “out of the money” if your prediction of market movement is incorrect.
If you're “in the money” your profit will be reflected in your account immediately
once the option reaches its expiration time.
Binary options vary in a number of ways from traditional options. This includes the length of expiry, risk level, the level of payout and timing for execution.
