They're a scam, don't count on getting your money back. Nadex is the only legit Binary Options dealer I know of for US clients, stick with them.

I hope you are doing well with Binaries/Bull Spreads. I do have a question for you regarding Nadex.

Since Nadex uses an unusual expiry price method (samples last 25 prices or midpoint, removes 5 highest, 5 lowest and averages the remaining 15), how close is the expiry price to actual spot price, and have you had better success on GBP/USD and EUR/USD than other pairs or crosses ?

Have you looked at Banc de Binary?

Thanks
but also confused

which one is more developed for the binary trade?

From my experience, Nadex spot prices have been extremely close to the MT4 platform/Forex Broker's spot price that I use to chart with. As for which pairs I trade, that would be any pair that has my setup. No, I have not tried Banc de Binary.

Upon further inspection, this Banc de Binary company isn't regulated. That's a no no for me.

"Since Nadex uses an unusual expiry price method"

Just wanted to add, Nadex pre-set strike prices allow you to hedge, thus making trading more like a business and less like gambling. A $10 Binary has a potential payout of 1000%. Think about that....if the price moves up or down, in a fairly big way, you can win 1000% in either direction...that's HUGE! Especially since you can hedge freely. Of course, if the price doesn't budge much, you will lose your investment, so be careful.

I'm strongly leaning towards NADEX as a US citizen, especially since it seems I'm reading about more & more complaints from OFFSHORE BINARY BROKERS. Additionally, Anyoption, the largest binary broker recently stopped accepting US clients.

Two more quick question for you Yoda -

1) Are you trading binaries/bull spreads ONLY as a hedge against a spot position ?

2) In your opinion, which product offers the higher probability chance of SOME profit, binaries or bull spreads ? I ask this because it seems like more underlying spot price movement would be required to close out a position in profit with a bull spread vs. a binary. Perhaps I'm wrong.

The only disadvantage I see to choosing binaries over bull spreads is that you can't trade the 1st several hours of the London open with their 2-hour binary, only their daily binary. However, I believe you can close their binaries early.

Thanks for warning US traders about offshore brokers.

You de man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
82nd, I have to admit, I am back to doing more Daily Binary Options with Nadex than their Bull Spreads. After a few years of trading with Nadex, I have to say that the best strategy for me is to buy or sell a $10 Binary Option contract in the direction that I believe the spot price is headed towards (the $10 Binary's strike price.) You can make 400% profit by just getting in and out of a $10 (or thereabouts) Binary Option contract that turns into a $40 contract (this happens when the spot price reaches the strike price.) This technique requires good movement/volume though, so be careful. I rarely stay in till the closing of the contracts.

As for Nadex, they have been rock solid in terms of reliability and good faith. You make a withdrawal and your funds are instantly taken out of your balance. Three days later they are in your bank account, no hassles no questions asked. They also have great phone service/customer support and are always there when you need to call with questions. They are regulated by the CFTC and have been around since 2004 (as Hedge Street.) STAY AWAY FROM THESE OFF SHORE BINARY BROKERS! You can see how shady they are in this very thread, as all of a sudden a whole bunch of new accounts/users/posters are magically endorsing them.....yeah right, give me a break.

PS. I am not a fan of the 2 hour contracts, because the strike price is set 5 minutes before the opening of the contract. This means the price can move drastically far from the strike price at opening, thus making the contracts expensive.

Have you withdrawn any profits from the account? If so, how long did it take?
It has now been 70 days since I requested my earnings from BullOption. They "agreed" to send me $1000 (which was a fraction of what they owe me). They will not tell me anything. I have emailed them over 80 times about this and they repeatedly say "the finance department" is having issues. They are still up and running and I don't know how if they treat all their clients like this. Maybe I am one of the few that has actually made money and requested it, idk.

As far as NADEX goes, they are awesome! I switched upon Yoda's recommendation and I am so glad that I did. I started with a small amount but i've found that you need to take your profits if you have them! Especially with the debt crisis in Europe and budget crisis here in the US, the volatility has been wild. The good news is you can get out of your NADEX contracts anytime you want, whether in a profit or loss! I have to give them 2 big thumbs up so far.


Yoda, what "setup" are you using to pick your trades on NADEX? I also use MT4 and like the bollinger bands with a MA. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I really don't share my strategy on boards, but yes, Nadex is the real deal. No fishy business and their very regulated.

They are closed for new years like most other exchanges.
Is anyone trading with 24option?
