The Basics of Binary Options
Choosing a Call / Put option
When trading options, there are two important terms you should know;
we can refer to these as predictions. They are known as “Call” and
“Put”. These are essentially your prediction on which way the asset is
going to move;
if you think an asset will rise in value upon expiration time, you should place a
“Call” option. If you think that the asset is going to drop in value, you should place a
“Put” option on it.
10
15. Let’s go a little deeper into this…
CALL: A call option is a trading choice that provides a user with a specified amount
when a security is above the strike price upon expiration. Traders use this strategy
when they believe an asset will rise in price withina pre-determined period of time.
In this scenario, the trader is “in the money” when the price of the option is
greater than the strike price. For a binary call option, if the
expiration price is below the strike price then there will be no payment to
the trader. However, EZTrader does provide its traders with a certain
refund in case of this outcome, allowing you to keep on trading & achieve
better results on your next trade. Traders usually take a binary call option
position in a number of instances; when markets are bullish, securities
such as currencies, indices and stocks tend to be on the rise. Positive
economic conditions can be the cause of these rises or internal gains
from an organization. It is the reason why it is important for traders to be aware
of how the market is moving.
PUT: Contrary to a Call option, in a binary PUT option the trader predicts
that the specific security will fall in price prior to expiration time. A put option
can also be defined as a trading choice which provides a user with
a specific payout when a security is below the strike price upon expiration.
This strategy is used by traders when they believe an asset will go down
in price within the pre-determined time period. In traditional trading terms, this
resembles a short strategy as it enables traders to identify a bearish
market. For a binary put option, if the strike price is above the price at
expiration, there will be no payout to the trader, but EZTrader will still
usually provide with a certain refund. Traders usually take a binary put
option position in a number of instances; When markets are bearish,
securities such as currencies, indices and stocks tend to be volatile and
falling prices tend to occur. Traders need to be aware of these
movements in the markets, especially in the binary options area.
11
16. Deposits & Minimum trading amount
There is a difference between the minimum amount required to open an
account and the minimum amount required per trade: When you open an
EZTrader account, you are simply depositing funds into a secure protected
account, just like you do at a bank. The funds are yours and kept under your
name. These funds are yours to withdraw or trade with;
In order to start trading you need to have an EZTrader account, the second thing you'll
need is an available funds on this account, for now traders cannot execute trades
without available funds in their account. After your account has been funded the funds
are deducted from your account each time you make a trade. When you make successful
trades, the profits are added into your account. You can make trades for as little as $25 or
up to the balance you have in your account, with a maximum per trade limit at $3000.
Your funds are always protected with highly advanced security and encryptions; no one
except you get an access to your funds.

18. The Trading process:
If we start thinking of
trading as puzzle pieces,
we can build a solid
understanding so that we
can put these pieces
together, which is actually
called a strategy, to make
a profitable trade.

1. The Underlying Asset
This is the first component to any trade; choosing an asset. There are 4 groups
of assets; stocks, indices, currencies and commodities. The best way to
pick an asset is to first pick several assets that interest you and start learning
about their movements in the financial markets. You can either focus on
one asset or one sector or a compilation of many sectors - the choice is
yours. Keep it simple; find assets that have relationships with each other. You
can always add more later on, or change entirely. You cannot start
making a trade until you have selected an asset.
14
19. 2. Choosing the Expiration
Selecting your expiration time is part of your fundamental analysis, as you
are deciding when the markets will move.
EZTrader has made this simple for you also, you only have three choices
15
20. for an expiration time on the EZTrader platform, either choose end of
the hour, end of the day or for some assets the end of the business
week.
16
21. 3. The Prediction
Depending on market data and other information used in guiding
your prediction, either a call or a put option is determined. If you think the
asset will rise above the strike price you should place a call option. If you
think the asset will fall below the strike price, place a put option. The
question is how this prediction is made, so that it is not based on just
guessing. This is where education, knowledge, training, market
insight and research are important.
For this matter we will provide you with some essential binary options
trading analysis techniques as well as trading strategies in the
following chapter.
4. Determine your Trading amount & execute
Always use good money management when determining your trading
amount.
Once you have entered your trading amount make sure you have
clicked the "Execute" button as your trade is not valid until it has
been executed.

22. Some Analyzing Techniques:
1. Using Economic calendar:
A good way to enhance the probability of your trading success is
applying some fundamental analysis to your binary options trading
strategy and in particular using the economic calendar:
The economic calendar provides you with a timetable of decisions,
publications and announcements that affect economies all around the
globe. Often the markets react to these announcements and
publications of data and this is where the keen-eyed Binary trader can
cash in.
By simply using the calendar, tracking the events that are due, the
forecast and previous results one can determine the effect of the actual
results on the market, whether it be a negative or positive effect. You can
be ready to make the trade seconds from the release.
Following the announcements are generally short periods of volatility as
the markets evaluate the data. If the market response positively to a certain
event or announcement made by a company than the stock price will probably
increase, whilst when the market respond negatively the prices
decrease.
Knowing which events or announcements are important to each
company, index or market sector and the effect it is on the asset's value
may need some research, but the effort will surely pay off…
A good example of using an economic calendar when trading on the US
dollar, also called the greenback, is to watch employment figures, released on
the first Friday of each month.
If these are better than predicted, markets will usually go up and the value of the U.S
Dollar will increase against most other currencies, similarly, if you
watch manufacturing reports or durable goods data.
As America is a big oil importing nation, an increase in oil production will
drive up the cost of oil. Also, the publication of key indicators like interest
rate decisions will have an immediate effect upon a currency’s price as
do key statements by leading figures in the global financial world, such as
23. Statements made by the Federal Reserve chairman regarding the Federal
Reserve’s monetary policy, which has an enormous effect on the global
markets.
24. 2. Fundamental Analysis:
Mainly used when trading on stocks, a fundamental analysis means
performing a thorough review of your asset. This includes a detailed
review of the firm’s financial statements, market share, overall management
structure, competitive advantages and its competitors.
When applied to future contracts and currency pairs, fundamental analysis
focuses on other factors such as the stability of the economy, interest
rates and the unemployment rate. If you wish to use this type of analysis you’ll
need to perform it on both historical and current data of your chosen
asset, which will help you get a bigger picture of the asset in order to
determine the potential change in its value by the expiration time.
Fundamental analysis can also be helpful if you want to learn how an
asset usually reacts to market activities such as quarterly financial reports or
other macro data published. Looking at how the asset has reacted to such
events in the past may help you in predicting its future direction following
such events.
19
25. 3. Technical Analysis:
Technical analysis is all about recognizing trends through market
statistics. These statistics are usually past prices and volume.
With this type of analysis, a trader will use market trends to predict the
future movement of his chosen asset. The goal here is not to assess the
current value of the asset but to establish patterns of movement in order
to better predict its future activity.
The premise behind Technical Analysis is that once a price trend
is established, future price movements will be easier to determine.
Technical analysis is largely used when trading on stocks or indices,
which are operating in a volatile market. Learning how prices have moved
historically following a change in the market helps traders to speculate if a
similar pattern is likely to occur when changes like these take place,
related either to the stock or the market in general.
Some Trading
Strategies:
1. Knock-on effect:
One of the main strategies commonly used by traders in the binary trading
community is the knock-on effect strategy, which requires deep
understanding of financial market’s inter-relations as well as binary options
signals. Also known as ‘market pull strategy’, the concept behind this
strategy is that the movement of one option will likely have an effect on
another option. Monitoring interrelations in the financial market helps the
trader in deciding whether to place a CALL or PUT option on a certain
asset, based on changes another asset has experienced.
20
26. 2. Hedging Strategy (also known as pairing):
This binary options strategy enables you to take advantage of a window
of opportunities in order to maximize your profits with a lower risk level.
For example, if you’ve placed a call option on a certain stock and your
trade was successful. If you want to place another trade on the same
stock but are concerned that it is likely to start declining, you can then
implement a hedging strategy by pairing a put option on the stock
alongside a call option on that same asset. This will allow you to hedge
against both eventualities and safeguard your initial return.
3. Straddle Strategy
With a straddle strategy, a trader will be looking to place a Put option as
high as possible and then when the market drops, to place a Call option
on that asset.
For instance, a trader could place a binary put option on a certain market
index which he believes is about to fall in the next couple of hours, and
then as soon as it starts to show signs of declining further, he would place
a call option on it. This way the trader can take advantage of the value
fluctuations of that certain asset, and will have at least one trade expiring
"in the money".
4. Risk Reversal Strategy
This strategy requires an understanding of an asset’s historical
performance and sensitivity.
If an asset is heading in a direction which is not typical for it, a trader may
place a trade on it, assuming it will likely change course within the near
future. For instance, if a certain asset is traded at an unusually high price
in your opinion, you can implement a risk reversal strategy and execute a
Put option on the asset, as you believe it will soon change direction.
For instance, let’s say that after conducting research you have identified
that the value of the NASDAQ is 3,200.00 over the past year. If the value
of the NASDAQ is currently trading at 3,300.00 you can take your
21
27. Knowledge gained from the mean reversion strategy and decide to place
a put option on the value of the index.
5. Pattern Return strategy:
Used by both traditional and binary options traders to determine the
movement of an asset or of the overall market, the goal with a
pattern return strategy is to use statistical techniques to help you
understand the price movements of the asset.
The calculation here follows the momentum of the asset’s price, as the
rule of the theory is that momentum changes direction before the actual
value does.
Applying this strategy means you should first choose an asset, preferably
a stock. Then Select an appropriate timeframe that accurately reflects the
price range of the asset. After looking at the stock and its fluctuations in
values, for let’s say a three-month period, you should Log the highs &
lows of the asset over that specified time period. By looking at the
performance of the stock over this period, you could see for example that
the stock has reached a three-month low of $98.00 in January and a high
of $196.45 in February.
Following these steps, you can use this information to assess how the
closing price compares to the price range. The outcome of this analysis will
help you to understand if the asset is likely to rise or fall in value compared
to its historical patterns.
6. Mean Reversion Strategy
The mean reversion strategy suggests that the prices of assets usually
retract back towards a mean – or average. In traditional trading, the
average can be the asset’s historical average of the price or the
historical return.
To use this strategy you need to identify an asset’s average and then
determine if the asset’s price is likely to settle back at this value
within the given period of time. The idea behind it is heavily linked to
the view that market performance move in cycles. So, after you
perform research on your chosen asset, you need to understand
what the “norm” is for that particular asset in order to determine what
the mean value would be for that asset.
22
28. The mean reversion strategy heavily applies to stocks and indices:
Since the performance of both is highly sensitive to movements in the
wider economy, their value often reverts back to the mean over time.
For instance, let’s say that after conducting research you have identified
that the mean value of the NASDAQ 100 is 3,200.00 over the past year. If
the value of the NASDAQ is currently trading at 3,300.00 you can take your
knowledge gained from the mean reversion strategy and decide to place a
put option on the value of the NASDAQ.
