With the new Hall of Fame on EmpireOption, traders can post their trades for other traders to see, admire, and copy. You get a live feed to what trades are winning as they are happening. Not only can you feature your winning trades; you can spy on other’s trades and try to come up with strategies based around them. They are one of the only binary brokers today that offer this to their traders.

But the Hall of Fame isn’t the only thing attracting traders to EmpireOption. They are currently offering a 75 percent bonus to all new traders so if you deposit $300, you are able to trade with $525. Binary options bonuses are one way that you can really leverage your money into more winning trades or give yourself some padding if you initially lose. Just make sure to read the terms and conditions on the bonus first.

EmpireOption also offers a secure, easy to understand, web-based platform for traders and personal assistance through their team of analysts and economists to help you trade better. With most binary brokers, this level of assistance is reserved only for accounts with huge initial deposits. EmpireOption also gives traders the ability to make even more money through double-ups, rollovers, and customizable options.

Customizable options, in addition to the Hall of Fame, are one of the most unique features that EmpireOption offers. You can select any asset offered for binary trading, pick your expiry time, and the amount of money you wish to invest and then you simply wait to collect your winnings. It’s simple, easy, and lets you invest the way that you want to invest, without having to choose from ready-made options.

Double-ups can also be a profitable trading tool with EmpireOption. With double-ups, you can take a trade near the expiration time and double it up for another contract lasting roughly the same amount of time. This takes away one of the biggest disadvantages of trading binary options. Namely that you can’t ride your winners the same way that you can in forex trading.

Double-ups are good if you’re winning, but what if the market is moving against you? Then EmpireOption offers you the ability to rollover your trade. Rollovers are done when the trade is near the expiration time but it isn’t yet in the money. It allows you to postpone the expiration time until later, giving you more time to hit your target prices. It is an easy, effective way to help stop your losses.

EmpireOption offers its traders many features that you can’t find on other platforms. From binary options bonuses, to the Hall of Fame, to personalized assistances from professionals, the broker certainly packs a lot of value into its offering. Check them out today to see if they fit into your trading style. Click here to read our full EmpireOption review.

The binaries pay out up to 300% for in-the-money investments and will be settled at the end of the first trading day when Facebook launches its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange very soon.

The AnyOption trading platform now has an additional tab at the top entitled “facebook Options” that traders can click on to display the various Facebook binary options that are being offered.

There are at least ten different Above/Below binary options being offered on the future value of Facebook.com once it starts being publicly traded with returns on investment ranging from 70% to 300%.

Investors can choose from binaries that predict that Facebook will be worth less than than $70 billion to contracts that will pay out if the social media behemoth is worth more than $133 billion at the end of the first trading day.

In order to invest, traders must select the option contract or contracts they want to invest in based on how much they think Facebook will be worth once it goes public and then choose how much they want to invest. The Facebook binary contracts at AnyOption are issued in units that are equal to $25 per unit. The minimum amount that can be traded per contract is 1 unit ($25) and the maximum is 40 units ($1000).

Once one has chosen the contract and the amount to invest, simply click on “Buy” and the trade will be placed. According to the official AnyOption terms and conditions regarding the Facebook options on their website, the trade will be settled the day of the Facebook IPO and will be determined by the company’s “closing level.”

The T&C’s define the “closing level” as “the market value (and not the share price!) of facebook [as quoted by Reuters] at the end of its first day of trading after the IPO.”

The terms go on to read that “in the event that facebook’s IPO does not take place by the end of 2012 (31/12/2012 24:00), options purchased on this asset will be canceled and the investment amount will be returned to customers’ balance free of any commission.”

The options will be available for purchase around the clock, 24/7, until the day of the Facebook IPO at which point they will be closed for trading.

This innovative way to trade binaries is only being offered at AnyOption.com so those not lucky enough to get their hands on actual Facebook shares should flock towards AnyOption’s binaries as a worthy alternative.

The online exchange will be hosting a live webinar on Thursday, February 2nd 2012 at 8:00 PM (EST) that will discuss the new redesigned website layout and explain various binary option trading strategies.

Originally called “HedgeStreet”, Nadex was launched in 2004 and was the first Internet-based regulated event futures and derivatives exchange in the US. The exchange offers retail investors the ability to speculate on economic events such as who will be elected the next president of the United States as well as price movements in financial assets like forex, commodities and global stock indices.

Nadex binary options have fluctuating bid and offer prices depending on the likelihood of the contract’s event occurring and typically pay out $100 per contract. So, for example, a EUR/USD binary option contract stating that the currency pair will be above 1.3200 by 3:00 PM may be sold for $30 and pay out $100 if successful; resulting in a potential $70 profit per contract.

For those interested in a more “exotic” investments, Nadex is currently offering various event futures on happenings such as what the weekly jobless claims number will be, what the monthly nonfarm payrolls figure will be and who will be elected US president in November 2012.

For the latter, the broker is offering event contracts for $56 – at the time of this writing – that Barack Obama will be reelected in November and $40 that Mitt Romney will be elected.

In what could be a potentially massive return on investment, Nadex is selling contracts stating that Newt Gringrich will be elected president in November for nothing: $3 per contract!

With a potential payout of $100, investors speculating on Gingrich could see a massive 97% return if the former speaker is elected president later this year.

Nadex is fully regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to accept trades from US residents and is based in the US in Chicago, Illinois.

The online brokerage offers a free demo account with $25,000 in virtual money for traders interested in trying their interface. The minimum deposit to start trading real money is $100.

The Nadex platform has gotten mixed reviews in the past with many saying it was hard to use and didn’t provide enough news and educational content. Hopefully, the new redesign is targeted towards remedying these issues.

While it is possible to place trades on the weekends with traditional stock brokers, these after-hours trades are only executed when trading reopens on Mondays, so one is not actually entering and exiting trades on the weekends. This is not the case with binaries. Since some stock exchanges, mostly in the Middle East, are open on Sundays – the week runs from Sunday-Thursday in some of these countries and Saturday to Wednesday in others – traders can actively enter and exit binary trades on Sundays when trading underlying assets traded on these exchanges.

There are many different binary brokers and indexes that do offer trading on the weekends; you just have to know where to look.

Trading Indices on the Weekends

There are several index binary options that allow trading on the weekends. The three major markets that you can trade on the weekends include:

TradeRush also announced that they will begin offering free training sessions to new clients that explain how to trade binary options using some of the most popular financial indicators such as the MACD, Bollinger Bands, RSI and more.

In order to sign up for the free training sessions, one must simply open a free TradeRush account and contact a customer service representative via live chat, e-mail or the toll-free numbers listed on the website.

TradeRush was one of the first binary option brokers to begin offering 60-second binary options which have since caught on among binary traders. The broker offers a sleek and intuitive trading platform that is good for amateurs and experienced traders alike.

The binary broker also noted that they are currently offering a limited time promotion of a 100% deposit bonus for new traders that deposit $500 or more and trade on the Bbinary platform. The bonus terms and conditions indicate that one must trade 20x the bonus amount before the bonus funds can be withdrawn. The promotion will last until the end of January.

Those interested in trading binary contracts over the major global indices can do so with ease at Banc de Binary. The broker processes binary trades on the NASDAQ from 14:40 GMT to 20:00 GMT and the Dow Jones between 14:40 GMT and 21:05 GMT.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that Banc de Binary offers a 3-minute lockout on most of their binary contracts, which means that traders can place their trades up until 3 minutes before the option in question is set to expire. Most binary brokers lock out their binary contracts at the 15 or 10-minute mark so Banc de Binary’s 3-minute lockout is quite exceptional in that regard.

Banc de Binary is a private options company that offers cash-or-nothing binary options contracts on up to 100 underlying assets which include forex, stocks, indices and commodities. The company has offices in several cities around the world including New York and London. For a full review of Banc de Binary’s services, click here.
