Binary Options

A straightforward guide to trading a unique class of options to improve returns, hedge risk, and make smarter bets during volatile trading

One of the great things about binary options is that you can use them to reap big profits from volatility in the markets with only a minimal capital investment. Unlike plain-vanilla put/call options, which require relatively high deposits, binary options provide access to exciting new speculative horizons with only a $100 deposit for every contract.

This groundbreaking guide from expert Alex Nekitrin gives you the complete lowdown on binary options: what they are, how they work, where they're traded, what underlying assets they're traded on, and how to incorporate them in any trading system. Step by step, and with the help of tons of trading examples, Nekitrin covers all the bases for novices and veteran traders alike, including:

Providing savvy market players with a way to react quickly to event-driven opportunities and trends, exchange traded binary options are a unique type of derivative instrument offering fixed risk and reward. While they have long been used as a powerful hedging instrument by professional traders, binary options are now available to retail investors. Available in four asset classes--stock index futures, commodity futures, spot Forex, and economic data releases--binary options are distinctly different from regular put/call options in that their pay-out structure offers only two potential outcomes, or settlement values: 0 or 100.

The first book focusing exclusively on this burgeoning sector of the options market, Binary Options is a complete, how-to guide to trading this unique instrument to hedge risk, make smarter bets during volatile trading periods, and for improving overall returns.
