Binary Options Trading VIX Index | Why It’s Better Than the ETF

Options Trading — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:01:51 +0000

Binary options trading of the VIX volatility index is without doubt one of the best reasons for the invention of the binary option. Please tell me you have heard of the VIX volatility index and its ETF VXX? Suffice to say the VIX is one of the best indicators around when it comes to gauging market direction (and hence gouging profits). Today was a TERRIFIC example of how the VIX trades opposite the index for which it indicates, the S&P 500. Early Indications Were for a Market Opening Up Markets around the world were pointing up, and with a favorable manufacturing report and a relatively benign jobs report, and the DOW, Nasdaq, etc. did not disappoint shooting up right out of the gate. Long time market watchers know to watch other indicators though in order to gauge the strength of the rally, and today that sort of hard earned wisdom paid off. Bull and Bear | Fear and Greed | Market Up and Market Down If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve heard of bull and bear markets. Hang around a little longer, and you hear of the traders two biggest psychological challenges: fear and greed. Fear and greed are [...]

Options Trading — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:31:45 +0000

Sponsored Link“How to make money in forex without trading forex” Saw that question the other day and honestly I just had to chuckle to myself. The answer of course is that little known secret we all know about here. Is it worthwhile to let the cat out of the bag? Should we tell them? Ahhh why not! The more people who know the bigger the arena will get which will mean more choices – and in our line of work sometimes choice is good. Introducing… The Binary Option For those of you visiting this site for the first time allow me to introduce to you the one of the world’s most wonderful financial creations: the binary option. A lay-person would look at the question that started this whole conversation – “how to make money in forex without trading forex” – and think to themselves, “Well that’s stupid! You can’t make money in forex without trading forex.” WRONG! If I had a nickle for every time someone passed along a misconception like that one… well I’d probably have all of 5 nickles to my name, lol.

A Mind Blowing Epiphany in Day Trading Binary Options

Options Trading — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:06:59 +0000

Lord knows I harp about trading binary options but I just had a really mind blowing epiphany about my sponsor broker EZTrader (now owned by GlobalOption). Perhaps you my readers have already figured this out but it is only just fully coming to light inside my brain. Are you ready for it? Here it is: Bonus Cash ROCKS! That sounds totally obvious however what you may or may not realize is the awesome scope of this awesomeness. If you follow this blog at all you’ve likely already read the “binary hedge with call and put trades” post from September – but did you really fully understand the implications of that trading position / strategy when used at binary options broker GlobalOption, Tradesmarter, Optionfair or Optionbit (read reviews of all the major binary options brokers)? What’s Important to Remember Is That If You Are Not Taking Advantage of the Maximum % Bonus Cash You Are Missing Out on FREE EASY MONEY! The Math Works Out Very Much in YOUR Favor Did you work through the example I put together in September? Did it make sense to you? Good. Now if you’ll recall my post at that time the potential outcomes of [...]

Collect a Day Trading Premium on Your Failed Limit Option Trade

Options Trading — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:03:58 +0000

Sponsored LinkHave you ever been day trading – trying to get a limit option order filled only to have the market never meet your bid price? I hate that, don’t you? So this morning I was thinking to myself (at 4:00am – I’m not sure how coherent I was but read on…), “Man I just hate it when my limit option orders don’t get filled. There must be a way I can take advantage of this.” Are You Sick of Having Your Stock or Option Orders Close Unfilled? Why Not Use a Binary Option to Collect a Day Trading Premium on Failed Limit Orders? It was then it came to me: use a small binary option trade to collect a fee or premium on my unfilled option trade. “Brilliant!” I thought. Place a limit order on a call option (for example) on one of the large companies that is also traded at a binary options broker. Watch the market with your binary option trading screen open until the spot price on the underlying security hits your bid price – then WHAM! quickly place an end of day expiry binary call option for $100 (or other nominal amount – minimum trade [...]

Binary Option Trading Strategies | When to Take Risks

Options Trading — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:30:56 +0000

One thing to consider in considering binary option trading strategies is not just what risks to take, but when to take them. One of the oldest addages in traders’ lingo is ‘buy on the rumor, sell on the news’ but what exactly does that mean for you as a day trader? Consider Using Binary Option Trading Strategies for Day Trading Short Term Known Coming Events What some traders may consider is making side bets on their trading strategies using binary options to make quick gains on short term movements while the market settles early bets on the long term trends. For example known news announcements on a public company such as an earnings release. Trading on securities with upcoming material press releases is halted prior to the announcement in order to maintain an orderly and ‘fair’ trading market. Prior to that announcement (the date an time of the official earnings release of listed securities is always known well in advance) traders are in the market taking positions based on the expectation of favorable or unfavorable results. The traders inevitably expect to cash in on those gains immediately or nearly immediately after the announcement, and certainly before the end of the day. What this means [...]

Simple Investment | Yields 60 Percent Pays Hourly

Options Trading — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:31:43 +0000

A simple investment ought to be conceptually easy to understand, have known and easily computed outcomes, and have a relatively short time horizon so holding period returns are easy to compute. A new type of trading security called a binary option is filling that bill nicely for day traders. With a 60% plus yield and hourly expiration this market is trading like the California wildfires due to its simplicity, short duration, and attractive yields. This investment has caught the eye of day traders, and its minimal ($100) capital requirements make it easy for anyone with a little moxie and a few bucks to get started. The simple investment that is catching on these days is called a binary option. The name may sound a bit scary but the beauty of this investment is that it is as simple to understand as a coin flip, and if you have enough money to open an checking account, you have enough to open a binary options account – it’s that cheap. Up or Down, True or False, Yes or No – Binary Options Only Have Two Fixed Outcomes A binary option simply stated is an investment that has only two outcomes. One might [...]
