Combining Forex Strategies and Binary Option Trading Systems.

The most obvious difference between trading conventional Forex or via Binary Options is that Forex Binary Options expire hourly. Another advantage is that at the end of the hour your profit is fixed at 85%. Regardless of how much the asset moved in either direction, your role is simply to speculate in which direction the asset will move within the hour, up or down. Just think of how much leverage you will need with your conventional Forex account to get the same profit percentage? So, now your risk is fixed and your reward is much higher without any leverage.

The main component of my preferred Forex trading strategy is to take advantage of the momentum during breakouts, thus producing a higher trading volume resulting in a more successful outcome. Most of the time, the only problem I have with this strategy is the unknown factor of just how much the asset will move after the breakout. Having this knowledge would allow me to calculate just how much leverage I want to use and therefore how much risk I am ultimately taking. In most cases, this predicament is easily overcome with Binary Options.

In the chart provided above, I’ve illustrated the USD/JPY which created a base pattern. When the breakout began, I placed a $100 Put trade. I did not need to calculate risk, reward or leverage or even place a stop loss. As long as the USD/JPY closed at the end of the hour a fraction of a pip below the price that I originally bought it, which was the strike price, I win the trade with an 85% profit. It’s just that simple.

Yohay Elam – Founder, Writer and Editor.

I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I’ve accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I’ve earned the significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me.

Before founding Forex Crunch, I’ve worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.

Yes I like binary betting a lot. I used to trade with another company that offered 5 minute and 20 minute markets, in addition to the 1 hour markets you mention. However after taking so much money off them, they closed my account after about 4 weeks and killed the golden goose unfortunately.

I think that it’s easier to make strategies for binary options than for forex, because of the way options work.

It is not necessarily about making seperate strategies, rather it is about combining or working with existing strategies. FX binaries hardly require a binary options strategy binar, they incorporate fx/forex sentiment.

Arbitrage Strategies With Binary Options.

Arbitrage is the simultaneous buying and selling of the same security in two different markets with an aim to profit from the price differential. Owing to their unique payoff structure, binary options have gained huge popularity among the traders. We look at the arbitrage opportunities in binary options trading.

A Quick Intro To Arbitrage.

Suppose a stock is listed on both the NYSE and NASDAQ stock exchanges. A trader observes that the current price of the stock on the NYSE is $10.1 and that on the NASDAQ it is $10.2. She purchases 10,000 of the lower-priced shares (on the NYSE), costing $101,000 and simultaneously sells the same quantity of 10,000 higher-priced shares, costing $102,000. She manages to pocket the difference (102,000-101,000 = $1000) as profit (assuming there is no brokerage commission).

Effectively, arbitrage is risk-free profit. At the end of the two transactions (if executed successfully), the trader is not holding any stock position (so she is risk-free), yet she has made a profit.

Options trading involves high variations in prices, which offers good arbitrage opportunities. While stocks may need two different markets (exchanges) for arbitrage, option combinations allow arbitrage opportunities on the same exchange. For example, combining a long put and a long futures position results in the creation of a synthetic call, which can be arbitraged against a real call option on the same exchange. Effectively, assets with similar payoffs are arbitraged against each other.

Additionally, other variations in arbitrage exist. A long position in a stock can be arbitraged against a short position in stock futures. Arbitrage opportunities can also be explored between correlated commodities and currencies (examples follow).

While the plain vanilla call and put options offer a linear payoff, binary options are a special category of options that offer “all-or-nothing” or “fixed price” payoffs. (See related: A Guide To Trading Binary Options In The US.)

Here is the graphical representation of the difference in payoffs between the two:

The linear (and varying) payoff from plain vanilla options allows for combinations of different options, futures, and stock positions to be arbitraged against each other (and a trader can benefit from the price differentials). The fixed payoff of binary options limits the combination possibilities.

The key idea of arbitrage is simultaneously buying and selling assets of similar profile (synthetic or real) to profit from the price difference. One of the biggest challenge with binary options is that there are hardly any assets that have a similar payoff profile. Trying combinations involving different assets to replicate the binary option payoff function is a cumbersome task. It involves taking multiple positions – something that is very difficult for timely trade execution and costs high brokerage commissions.

Arbitrage Opportunities in Binary Options Trading:

Within the above-mentioned constraints, the arbitrage opportunities in binary option trading are limited. Finding similar assets to simultaneously arbitrage against is difficult. The best available option is to go for time-based arbitrage. It involves identifying a market discrepancy, taking a position accordingly, and then booking the profits after some time when that discrepancy gets eliminated or the price target/stop-losses are hit.

NADEX is the popular exchange for trading binary options. Keep in mind that other markets for stocks, indices, futures, options, or commodities have different (and limited) trading hours. Multiple assets (stocks, futures, options) trade at different times of the day depending upon the exchange-enabled trading hours. Developments that happen when a market is closed may lead to rapid moves in prices when the market opens.

For example, there may be a news item that affects the FTSE 100 stock index and comes out when the London Stock Exchange (LSE) is closed. The exact impact of such news on the FTSE 100 index will be visible only when the LSE opens and the FTSE starts updating. Until then, speculations will be high about the perceived impact of the news on the FTSE’s value.

This index is the benchmark for trading binary options on NADEX. Since binary options trading is available for extended hours, a lot of volatility and price moves as a result of the news may be visible in FTSE binary options.

Suppose the LSE is currently closed and there are no updates to the FTSE index (last closing value was 7000). Assume last price for binary option "FTSE > 7100" was $30. As a result of the developing news, the FTSE is expected to rise once the market opens (say five hours from now), and this binary option value will start to rise (and fluctuate) from the current price of $30 to $50, $60, $70 and so on. Since there is no certainty about what will be the exact FTSE value when it will open for trading, the binary option prices will fluctuate up and down. During this time, experienced traders can bet their money on FTSE binary options for time-based arbitrage.

Once the market opens, the actual change in the FTSE Index values and FTSE futures prices will be visible. That will lead to FTSE 100 binary options prices to move towards accurately reflecting FTSE 100 values. By that time, experienced traders could have spotted overbought and oversold conditions in the binary options market and made profits (possibly couple of times).

Other binary option arbitrage opportunities come from correlated assets, such as the impact of commodity price changes that lead to currency price changes. Usually, gold and oil have an inverse correlation with the US dollar (i. e., if gold or oil prices rise, then USD currency weakens and vice versa). Experienced traders can look for arbitrage opportunities in associated forex binary options in such scenarios.

For example, a trader observes that gold prices are rising. He can short sell US dollar by selling the USD/JPY pair or by buying EUR/USD pair. Similarly, an increase in oil prices can lead to an expected increase in the price of EUR/USD. A binary options trader can take appropriate positions to benefit from these changes in asset prices.

Arbitrage in other binary options, such as "non-farm payroll binary options", is difficult because such an underlying is not correlated to anything. One can still attempt time-based arbitrage, but this would be solely on speculation (e. g. take a position as the expiry approaches and attempt to benefit from volatility).

Binary Options: Better for Arbitrage?

High volatility is a friend of arbitrageurs. Binary options offer “all-or-nothing” or “fixed price” profit ($100) and loss ($0). Like plain vanilla options, there is no variability (or linearity) in returns and risks. Buying a binary option at $40 will result in either a $60 profit (final payoff – buy price = $100 - $40 = $60) or a $40 loss. Any impact of news/earnings/other market developments will lead the price to fluctuate (from $40 to $50, $80, $10, $15, and so on).

Arbitrageurs usually don’t wait for binary options to expire. They book the partial profits or cut their losses before. Since binary options have fixed price flat payoffs, any change in the underlying value can have a big impact on returns.

For example, if the FTSE closed at 7000, and the binary option FTSE>7100 was trading at $30, and then positive news about the FTSE comes out. The FTSE reaches 7095 and is hovering around that level in a 10-point range (7095-7105). The binary option price will show huge variations, as just a one-point difference in the FTSE can make or break the win-loss payout for a trader. If the FTSE ends at 7099, the buyer losses the premium he paid ($30). If the FTSE ends at 7100, he receives a profit of ($100-$30 = $70). This -$30 to +$70 is a huge variation based on a one point limit of the underlying (7099 to 7100), and that leads to very high volatility for binary option valuations, creating huge price swings for active binary option traders to capitalize upon.

Standard arbitrage (simultaneous buying and selling of similar security across two markets) may not be available to binary options traders due to a lack of similar assets trading across multiple markets. Arbitrage opportunities in binary options are to be picked from those available during off-market hours in associated markets or correlated assets. The unique “all-or-nothing” payoff structure of binary options allow for time-based arbitrage opportunities. High variations enable high profit potentials, but also bring in large potential for losses. Due to its high-risk, high-return nature, binary options trading is advisable for experienced traders only.

Binary Options vs Forex.

Binary Options have become widely popular during the last two years. The main reasons for this, is that they offer high profit returns and they are easy to trade.

In this article I will try to outline the main differences between Binary Options and Forex, so that you can evaluate which is the better trading method for you. A good way to start is to provide definitions of both and look at an example of a trade.

Guest post by Peter Traychev of ActionBinary.

After you read this article, please share your views with us! We encourage you to use the comment box at the bottom of this page.

Forex definition : When trading Forex you are speculating that the value of one currency will increase or decrease compared to another, in an attempt to make a profit. For example: The current price of EUR/USD is 1.30850 and you think the price will increase in the future. You buy 1 lot of EUR/USD and wait for the price to increase to the point where you want to close the trade and realize the profit you want.

Binary Options definition : When trading Binary Options you only have to predict if the price of an asset (for example currency pair or stock) will increase or decrease from its current price over a certain period of time. For example: The current price of EUR/USD is 1.30850 and you think the price will be higher in the next hour. So you place a “Call” option on EUR/USD and wait to see its price 1 hour from now. If your prediction is right you can make a profit of 80% of your investment.

Forex : You can use margin to trade Forex. The maximum margin is determined by each broker, and sometimes can be up to 1:200 or 1:500. Margin allows you to increase your investment capital so you can make a larger trade and make a larger profit if your trade is a winning one.

Binary Options : Margin is not used when trading Binary Options. You can still make a large return on your investment (up to 80% or sometimes 400%), so Binary Options are still very attractive for traders. The good news is that you can never get a margin call.

Payouts and Losses.

Forex : With Forex you never know what is the maximum profit you can make on a trade. You can set a limit or stop order so that you can be guaranteed a certain percentage profit if the limit or stop is executed. The losses in Forex can be managed with limit/stop orders, the same way profits are managed. The maximum loss with Forex may be all of the money in your trading account.

Binary Options : Before you make your trade you will know exactly what is the payout and loss return percentage that you will get for the particular option, when it expires. Some brokers offer payouts up to 80% or sometimes 400% depending on the option traded. This means that if you invest $500 on an option and the payout is 80%, you will make $400 profit if the option is a winning one. Some brokers don’t offer “loss back”, which means that if your option trade is a losing one, you will lose the amount you invested in the trade, but not more.

Closing a position.

Forex : You choose when to close the position. You can close your position anytime the market is open and the broker has to accept and execute the order.

Binary Options : Before you make your trade you have to select when you want the option to expire (example: 1 hour or 1 week from now) – at the “expiry time” your trade will close automatically. The broker offers you different types of options with predetermined expiry times. Some brokers allow you to close your trade early, but you will exit your option at a percentage of the expected return. The “ early closure” option is not offered by all brokers, and might not be available during the whole time the trade is active. Another important point to mention is that some brokers allow traders to delay the expiry time, to the next expiry time. This is called “Rollover” and the traders will need to increase their investment by a certain percentage, sometimes 30% in order to be able to do this.

Orders Types.

Forex : There are a variety of order types in Forex. The most important ones are the market (Buy/Sell) orders. Also there are more advanced orders such as: Limit, Stop, OCO (One Cancels the Other), Trailing Stop, Hedge orders, and others.

Binary Options : There are about five Binary Options types which you can trade. They include: High/Low (also referred to as: Call/Put or Up/Down), 60 Seconds Options, Touch/No Touch Options, Boundary Options, and Option Builder.

Trade size.

Forex : Some brokers allow you to trade micro lots, which is 1,000 units of the base currency in a Forex trade. The maximum trading amount is determined by each broker, and can be up as high as 100 standard lots or $10,000,000.

Binary Options : Each Binary Options broker determines what is the minimum and maximum trading size for its clients. Sometimes the minimum trading amount can be as low as $5 per trade, and the maximum can be up to $1,000 or $5,000 or more.

Trading costs.

Forex : When trading Forex you have to consider what are the spreads and rollover/swap, and if there are any commissions.

Binary Options : There are no spreads, rollover/swap or commissions when trading Binary Options.

Curreny trading is great inspite the risk. That is how banks make profits .

This is a very good presentation. Easy to understand.

Good very good and fits the theory (derivatives). But it is really a different ball game. I think it is also hard ball and you need to be fairly skilled in assessing direction and timing trades to succeed – the same thing that has many traders going belly up routinely in the Forex. But I like the sound of it. Also not sure if one can combine that trading the Forex.

I think trading binary options is purely gambling.

Alguem utiliza algum corretor de opções binárias que possa recomendar?

Thanks.. I really have the confusion about binary options and forex.. thanks for this article..

The thing is that the probability of win with binary options is always 50%:50% becasue you know the terms BEFORE you execute the deal. The only thing that changes is time – so you and the broker wait for the option to expire.

With Forex, however, when you place the order there are many things that can change. Not only the time is passing but brokers can widen the spread, the execution on closing time might vary due to slippage, etc. So even, if your prediction is right the broker still can “play”.

I don’t know if the same thing is true with binary opions. If anybody has noticed something please share.

Got me into researching more of this kind of trading, there is really not as much regulation for these brokers as I would like and truth is, that it is not like the 50%-50% coin toss analogy, you are at disadvantage right from the start where you always get less reward than risk per trade, just my 2 cents.

Eric, there is regulation actually. Recently, Banc de Binary got its regulation from CySEC thus becoming the first Binary Options regulated broker in EU. This is a clear signal that regulation is coming to this market as well..

Regarding the reward, I think you are right – 50:50% is not the actual probability because you have 80% for a winning trade and 5-10% for a losing one.. which is far from 50:50.

Thanks Guest your blog is very helpful.

Peter, is right there is regulation for Binary Options but he is wrong about Banc De Binary being the first. SpotOption Ltd. was the first Binary Options provider to gain Cysec regulation, the majority of the webs binary platforms are powered by SpotOption and ones that are purely white labels are covered by SpotOption.

If a Binary platform powered by SpotOption handles client money then they require Cysec regulation. Which allows them to operate throughout the European Union. It should also be noted that Cysec are the only MiFID regulatory body to consider Binary Options a financial instrument and it doesn’t appear like the other bodies are going to change their mind any time soon.

Ed, thanks for your comment. Actually, SPOTOption is platform provider and not retail broker. They work on White Label basis with brokers. In this sense, I would rather consider Banc De Binary is the first regulated binary options broker in terms of offering services to the end client. After all, regulations for professional and non-professional clients are different.

The Foreign Exchange (Forex) industry has been well known in the trading world for daily big turnover. Whereas, a binary option is the new form of trading which is simple in comparison to forex trade. Though both the markets have their pros and cons, however, due to the fixed risk and fixed returns options, binary trading grabs more attention. Here verifyproducts/content. php? id=34 you will learn how binary options trading work. When it comes to Forex trading, investors need significant amount of capital to start and there is no fixed risk and fixed return involved.
