I keep seeing these ads for binary options, make 70% in an hour. all you need to do is guess the direction of an instrument for the next hour and you earn 70%. Are these firms/software legit? It seems like an easy task for someone skilled in TA--right?It also seems like a good way for an undercapitalized trader to get into the game, start out with $100.00 and make 70%--where else can this be done? http://tinyurl.com/70-hourly and if so, who offers the best deal? Or do they all funnel thru the same backbone? there has got to be a way to game this system, any thoughts? thanks, Jack
The fairval for a pick-em binary is 1:1. So any payout at 70% is theft. Underlying at 100... you take the bullish bet expiring at end of day. 99.99 or < and you lose 100%. 100.01 and > and you win 70%. Does this sound like a reasonable vig to you?
Whoa, yeah that is outrageous--but I think its the only way for retail low budget to play the game, maybe i am wrong. You lose 85% not 100% from the link I found. Are these guys even legal in the USA? Can you recc a binary platform for retail that offers better situation for a low cash player? not forex thanks!
is this legal in the US? if so, I would set it up myself and take the bets. The only way I see to game this is to make binary bets on very illiquid underlyings and just prior to expiration push it through.
Surf, a buddy of mine is developing binaries on stocks for accredited investors. They range in time from a few months out to a year. Any stock. If you are interested, let me know.
Currently the CBOE offers Binaries on the SPX and VIX. Monthly expiration. Not a lot of Volume, but and interesting trade.
According to atticus, they are not legal in the US, but it seems like you can open an account in Cyprus, as a US Citizen with these guy http://tinyurl.com/70-hourly I am not really sure if he meant its illegal to trade this way in the US, or just illegal for a dealer to be domiciled in the US. Yeah, its seems like you could set up a Cyprus LLC and do the same thing easily--- as long as its legal for a US citizen to do so.
