Binary options manipulation by a large broker?

Manipulation by a Large and Reputable Broker?? W/Screenshots (Binary Options)

Trading on CFD binary options, shouldn't the underlying indices price for different expiry time be the same? But why is this broker's underlying price all different? This becomes increasingly apparent nearing expiry. I'll post a few screenshots, I actually have a video capture as well.

Note: Don't seem to notice this in the new platform updated a few months ago.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or with other brokers?

How you should hate money to start trading on binary options Its a mystery for me

Guys, gals and OP the binary options game is rigged - plane and simple. I've traded binaries with the US company called Nadex for several years. This is a CFTC regulated company and technically on paper they call themselves an "exchange". Here's the kicker - there is NO countraparty to your trades with Nadex. If this happens at a CFTC regulated company that is granted with the designation of an actual exchange what do you think off-shore binary shops are doing. Going through trades and trying to rationalize the right or wrongs if futile.

The revelation comes after you realize that with a company regulated by the CFTC and given the nod to go ahead has only one counterparty....and that is their parent company in London. This isn't widely known and they do not publicize it or at least noticeably. I had found this by reading the CFTC info on them. There is even a small IA trading that makes all their money selling their proprietary algo to people that are green in search of the dream. None of them know that even the Nadex's price action is proprietary.

I know how the offshore binaries differ from Nadex's, but if a CFTC regulated exchange can be given the nod to be the only counterparty to your trades then what do you think the offshore shops are up to.

Frankly, my eyes glaze over when binary options are mentioned. One cannot trust that instrument, nor the brokers offering it, no matter how big or small they are. Even the FBI has issued warnings against them.

To quote the FBI publication titled “Binary Options Fraud, A Word of Warning to the Investing Public” binary options fraud is a growing problem and between 2011 and 2016 the number of complaints and sums lost to this type of scam have grown exponentially. “In 2011, our Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received four complaints—with reported losses of just more than $20,000—from binary options fraud victims. Fast forward five years, and the IC3 received hundreds of complaints with millions of dollars in reported losses during 2016” the FBI said.
That was last year. Who knows how much the binary options scams have grown in the past twelve months. Now matter how big and regulated the binary options broker is, I'd always be wary.

Binary Option brokers are the last people you want to trade binaries with. Except for dukascopy.

Legal and illegal thieves!!! Take your money out now. Accept the loses and move on. The brokers dont give a shit.

As I remember, IG don't use neither spot price nor future contract price on index for binary option.

In fact, they use a composite price made of hybrid underlying prices (future & spot).
Therefore, for a same index but 2 maturities, the "prices" can be different, as the convergence parameter (underlying time) is not the same.

That not the case for forex options because they use their spot price.

Since they display the price this is not manipulation, maybe lack of information.

NOPE, they are based on Cash. May I ask where did you get your info from?
"Hourly FTSE, Wall Street quotations and short-term digital 100s such as the 20-minute FTSE and 20-minute Wall Street are based on prices of the cash FTSE cash, or Wall Street markets."


Two screenshots that have the same expiry, yet still different underlying prices. Hybrid is BS.

Dear Traders,
I have been trading 1min, 5m, 20m Up/down, One touch and Ladder Binary options with UK brokers IG and CMC markets. Brokers call them differently, like Countdowns, Digital 100s, Sprint markets.

There are few articles and Broker's links online allegedly offering these products but after I signed up I discovered none of them offering those.

Does anyone here know or maybe trading with any other brokers who offers 1min 5min 20min Up/down, One touch and Ladder Binary options.

Thank you for your help and information

Options are good if your trading is based on volatility (has an uncertainty as a part of its component so efficient markets are still far away to close this opportunity), but definitely not on binary options which set the premium at 25%

Hello, Dear traders I need some help. Please someone if you know another broker like Nadex binary ladders to said, because I can"t make account with them. Please help me if someone have some info. Thanks guys.

afisher - Do you find broker with this kind of option which you asked?

What does Nadex offer that others don't?

You may need to re-evaluate yourself. How and what are you trading. Have you even decided what type of trader are you. If you are trying to trade Nadex as if its the European style binary, then you are going to fail all the time because that is not what they are.
There are plenty of REAL how-to's for Nadex trading.
I do fine. I loose some but I win more. I have, at this time, 3 strategies I trade on Nadex and I do ok.

Why brokers do manipulate spreads.??
