Are There People Who Have Made a Million From Trading Binary Options?
The first step is answering this question is to understand how binary options trading actually works:
Binary options are financial products, in the same way as stocks and shares; they are controlled and regulated in many countries through the same financial controls that the country uses for other financial investments. In fact, they are legal around the world by default; a lack of regulations making them illegal allows them to be traded across the globe.
They are a very simple form of investment trading which has received a massive increase in publicity over the last few years; this has resulted in many more people trying to trade in binary options. The process involves predicting whether an asset will rise or fall in price within a set timeframe. If it does as predicted then you will receive your investment back plus an agreed percentage return. If it does not reach the predicted price you lose our investment. In the past this kind of investment has been associated with gambling, however, to successfully trade it is essential to understand the various assets and the way the market works; this is not the same as placing a bet in your local betting shop!
Experienced traders will often choose to trade in short time periods as this can provide the fastest profits and allow multiple trades in one day. Of course, every trade has its own set of risks and it is essential to have your own set of rules which you stick to; this ensures you do not continue to trade simply to get a return on a bad day. The best traders know that some days will not go well, but they stick to their strategy, watch the market and learn from their mistakes. Although you will be trading on the movements of the stock market, you are not trading on the stock market; you do not need to purchase shares, just options which summarize share movements.
