18. Binary Options Basics
One of the key benefits of binary options is simplicity.
Binary options trading is relatively easy once the
parameters of the trade are understood.
Each binary option is based on four distinct components:
The asset
1
Each binary options trade is based on an asset
selected by the trader.
These are known as underlying assets, since
the trader doesn’t buy the assets and therefore
never actually owns them.
All binary options brokers offer their own range of assets
to traders, such as stocks, commodities, currency pairs
and market indices. Some brokers may offer only a
limited range, which will restrict trading opportunities.
Although a trader may opt to specialize in an asset
or a group of assets with which he is familiar, the
ability to trade a wide range of assets offers increased
opportunities to profit.
18
Binary Options Basics
19. The contract/time of expiration
2
Each binary option trade is a contract and each
contract has a set expiration time. Although
many types of traditional trading require an
investment for several months or years before
a reasonable return is achieved, in the case of
binary options, trades can expire in a matter of weeks,
days, hours or minutes.
Using Banc De Binary’s trading platform, an option can
be purchased up to five minutes before it expires. It is
important that the trader always knows just how much
time is left before the option expires so that he can
improve his chances of making an accurate prediction.
The forecast or prediction
3
The job of a binary options trader is to
determine in which direction the price of
an asset will move before or at the time of
expiration. For the simplest binary options
trades, the forecast will be based on whether
the price at expiry will be higher or lower.
The trader will purchase a Call option if he believes the
price will close higher or a Put option if he believes the
price will fall. A correct prediction will result in a return of
71-88% on investment – nearly double the original stake.
The amount that is at stake
4
Each binary options trade is for a fixed amount
that the trader specifies at the outset of the
trade. This puts the trader’s money firmly in
his hands at all times giving him the control to
minimize losses and maximize returns.

30. Analyzing Binary Options
To improve the chances of accumulating consistent profits from binary options
trading, there are two types of analysis that traders can employ: technical
analysis and fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis looks at how outside
influences can affect asset prices; technical analysis focuses on how a price has
moved in the past and how that can determine future movements. Both types
of analysis are essential tools for traders.

Various economic indicators are published
that either analyze economic performance

indicators have different timings in relation
to the way the economy changes:

in predicting price movements, because they
change before the economy as a whole does.
Stock market returns are one such indicator,
because the markets, for example, generally
rise before a recession ends

44. Risk Management
One of the most important considerations for any trader is how to manage
risk. Although binary options offer low risk compared to other types of
trading, the possibility of loss is always given. While there is no strategy that
can fully avoid risk, there are numerous methods an investor can utilize to
minimize his financial exposure when he enters the market.

45. Learn from your mistakes
It is important to remember that trading
mistakes occur from time-to-time and it is
beneficial to accept each mistake as a lesson
and to try to learn from the experience.
Traders should build up a history of both
successful strategies and those that have
not worked, so that he can avoid repeating
the same mistakes in the future. Gradually,
over time, the investor will build up his
success rate overall.
Follow trends
Trying to beat the market does not usually
work. Investors should generally watch for
trends and try to follow them by purchasing
mainly Call options in a bull market and Put
options in a bear market. Traders should
also remain alert to how the market is
moving so that he can alter his tactics as
soon as a reversal looks likely.

46. Risk and reward
Trading is a balance between risk and
reward. A greater appetite for risk offers
higher returns, along with the reduced
probability of success. A safer bet will
increase the chance of a profit but will,
in turn, pay less and take longer to
accumulate significant profits.
The best strategy is usually to go for
a mix of trades. A trader should only
opt for a riskier trade if he has a firm
reason to believe he is correct in his
assumptions. He should opt for the
safer option if he is not totally sure.
Needless to say, if a trader entertains
real doubts about a trade, he should
avoid it altogether.

47. Limiting your trades
Making a succession of bad trades, will
quickly exhaust available profit. When a
trader hits a bad run, he can simply stop
trading. If he does that, however, he won’t
know when his bad run has come to an
end. The best strategy, therefore, would be
to keep trading but with reduced stakes.
A good risk management strategy is often
to limit each trade to a set percentage of
existing capital. A ballpark figure would be
to never risk more than 8.5% of existing
profits on one trade. This means a trader
would have to make eleven consecutive
bad trades before he completely expended
his capital. It also means that the amount
at risk gets progressively less when a trader
is losing but then starts to increase when
he enters a winning streak so that, in turn,
he also stands to make more profit.

options contract is based.
What is an underlying asset?
A commodity, index, stock, or Forex pair
that can be traded as a binary option.
What is a Call option?
An option that provides the trader with a predetermined
profit when the underlying asset is higher at the time of
expiration than at the time it was purchased.
What is a Put option?
An option that provides the trader with a
predetermined profit when the underlying asset
price is lower than when was purchased.
What is the investment amount?
The amount of money invested in the option.

54. What are the levels displayed in the trading boxes?
A level is the quoted price for an option of an underlying asset.
The level changes and is updated frequently according to different
parameters that Banc De Binary proprietary algorithms take into
account. The levels we present in the trading boxes are those at
which Banc De Binary is willing to sell options and are Reuters real-
time market levels. For more details about how expiry levels are
determined, refer to the website (www.bbinary.com).
What is the expiry rate?
The expiry rate is the price of the underlying asset according
to Reuters at the time of expiry of the option. This rate
determines if the option has expired in-the-money or out-
of-the-money. A different expiry rate is determined for
each underlying asset. The calculation of the expiry rates is
detailed on the Banc De Binary website (www.bbinary.com).
What is the expiry time?
The expiry time is the time and date when the trade ends.
If your forecast is correct at this time, you will be “in-the-money”.
What is the difference between purchasing options
in Banc De Binary and buying Put and/or Call
options in the stock market?
The options available in Banc De Binary are binary options (refer
to the first question for a detailed definition). They are different
to standard (“vanilla”) option chains that are offered by stock
exchanges. The latter typically have longer expiry dates, significantly
fluctuating yields, and can be sold before expiry. Binary options have
a fixed return and are offered for different expiry points from the
end of an hour to the end of a month.
54
Frequently Asked Questions
55. What happens if the expiry rate of a given
underlying asset is identical to the rate at

profit from binary options trading with the minimum amount of effort.
Features of the program
The main function of the personal broker
program is to provide trading signals so
that clients are advised what to trade
and when. This means that all analysis
is undertaken by Banc De Binary’s
experienced specialists, which in turn,
saves the client time and effort.
As a member of the program, clients
receive trading signals at any time of
the day or night as and when they arise,
although these will generally be between
7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (GMT) when the US and
European markets are open. These signals
will advise a short or long position in a
particular asset, indicating that the trader
should consider a Put or Call option.

Trading signals do not have to be followed
and, if they are, the investor can decide on
the amount of the trade.
Money can be deposited and withdrawn in
the normal way and clients can access and
monitor the account 24/7.
Personal brokers cannot access accounts
and do not trade on the client’s behalf.
They simply provide trading signals that

66. Banc De Binary Platform R
The rates provided on a broker’s platform are
all-important. The source of these rates must
be completely reliable: the client’s money is
depending on it. At the end of the day, the rates
decide whether a trader will make a profit or
whether he will suffer a loss.
The rates that clients see on Banc De Binary’s
platforms are real live streaming rates, which
are displayed by us in real time. Our rates,
charts, and market information are provided
by Reuters, the world’s biggest and most relied
upon financial and news institution. All our rates
can be checked back with the rates published on
Reuter’s website. On request, we will gladly check
them against the rates of our dealing desk.
