ESMA Sets A New Date To Ban Binary Options

ESMA extends the date of banning Binary Options Trading to April 1, 2019.

ESMA stands for European Securities and Markets Authority, which is a Financial Regulatory Agency at European Union.

It is an independent European Authority. Their mission is to enhance investor protection and promote a stable and orderly financial market.

From July 2, 2019, ESMA restricted any type of marketing and selling of Binary Options products to retail investors. However, they decided to extend the date further 3 months from February 2, 2019.

The regulatory agency also restricted leverage on CFDs. The restriction starts from August 1, 2018.

As per their Press Release:

“ESMA has carefully considered the need to extend the intervention measure currently in effect. It considers that a significant investor protection concern related to the offer of binary options to retail clients continues to exist“.

The new extension date was agreed by the by ESMA’s Board of Supervisors on 7 November 2018.

They already published an official notice on their website.

ESMA has taken various significant steps to protect the clients money. For the CFD traders, the steps will protect traders and also give assurance that they will not lose more than their investment.

Binary Options trading bears a high risk. For the characteristics of this trading product, ESMA decided to ban for a while.

Statement Of Steven Maijoor

Steven Maijoor who is the Chair of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Before joining ESMA, he was the Dean of the School of Business and Economics at Maastricht University.

Steven Maijoor stated that,

Being a greater investor protection in the EU, ESMA has taken a significant step. The new measures on CFDs will, for the first time, ensure that investors cannot lose more money than they put in, restrict the use of leverage and incentives, and provide understandable risk warnings for investors.
ESMA’s prohibition on the marketing, distribution or sale of binary options to retail investors addresses the significant investor protection concerns caused by the characteristics of this product.
This pan-EU approach is the most appropriate way to address this major investor protection issue. NCAs will monitor the impact of these measures during their application and will assess, with ESMA, what next steps are required.

Why Binary Options Regulation Is Important?

Regulation is the most important part of any type of trading products. If it’s for Binary Options, then the industry needs it significantly.

A broker with a proper regulation will assure any types of fraudulent activities.

Binary Options started their business form 2008. Till now in many aspects, they failed to gain proper trust from investors. The one and only reason is “Broker’s Scam Activities”

However, in many countries, Binary Options is now regulated. This particular article will help you to know the current situation of Binary Options or Options Trading.

It is important to have proper regulation because it will help marketers to run their function abide with rules and regulation.

The Regulatory body also offers protection not only to the companies but also, their clients; especially for UK and USA clients. Brokers with regulation will deliver a safe and secure service.

However, the restriction notice is still temporary. If they feel necessary they can also re-extend the date of banning the trading assets. For that, they will review the product intervention measures and will take the necessary steps.

How successful Is Binary Options Trading In 2019

Binary Options Trading in 2019 - Binoption

How successful Is Binary Options Trading In 2019

At this time, I am just sitting on my rocking chair and browsing on “How successful is Binary Options Trading in 2019”. In fact, I already found a lot of positive results on Binary Options and its future.

After reading a few articles, my opinion is getting much stronger than before. It is really possible to bring success on Binary Trading if you have proper trading skills.

As a result, I am here with some valuable information regarding Options trading. Before knowing the current situation of Options trading, it is necessary to know the history of this asset type.

In this article you will find some historical data of binary options, advantages and drawbacks, Current situation, and its future.

What is Binary Options

Binary Options are financial instruments based on two possible outcomes. Either you will gain a lot or get nothing in return.

So, you have to predict the right future price. If your prediction goes right, you will get a return. If your prediction goes wrong, you will lose everything that you invest.

Binary options are very simple to trade. Most of the time, people who are inexperienced want to trade binary options. It is my recommendation to you, before jumping with your real money in any asset classes, please make sure that you have enough knowledge on that as well as the asset.

As a trader, you have to remember three things in each binary option trade.

You have to pick an asset based on the underlying market price.
Find a Strike price that works for you. Remember, the strike price is the price level.
Select a proper expiration time.

History of Binary Options

The data shows that Binary Options trading existed for many years before 2008.

In 1973, Chicago Board Options Exchange launched officially. In 2007, they offered binary options for public trading or retail trading.

In 2008, The SEC approved the binary options and also approved as tradable investment instruments.

In 2009, NADEX launched Binary Options in the US. For that reason, It is regulated by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and U.S SEC.

On April 2015 a report published by NADEX showed that, over the last 12 months, the trading volume of Options raised by 54%.

On November 2015, the active binary options trader was 2.5 million. This was huge within a short time.

On October 2016, the term “binary options” recorded 110,000 monthly search on Google which was almost the same as Forex trading.

Many of the people have a misconception about Binary Options. However, there are many successful traders who are investing their money and also getting profit.

Binary Options Advantages and Drawbacks

For a trader, the first and foremost advantage is to make money in a short time. Apart from this, there are many advantages of trading options.

On the other hand, you can trade binary on different asset classes. A few regulated brokers offer many assets for binary options depending on the country regulation.

Options trading is becoming more and more popular day by day. I will mention the future of this trading type after this section.

Advantages:

• Binary Option is popular throughout the year only for its high return. As different brokers claim that the trader will get a return up to 95%. In binary options like ladder, the payout percentage exceeds well over 200%.

• The expiration time is relatively shorter than other trading terms. It makes the trading environment exciting for traders and also helps them to earn a good profit.

• The trading type is simple. All you have to follow is some basic steps to trade options.

• You can start your trading with a low investment. The minimum investment is only $1, offered by many brokers.

• You can make money from both falling and rising markets.

• You are not limited to one market in Binary Options. You can trade on several asset classes such as Forex, Cryptos, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities. So, binary option offers a lot of flexibility to traders.

Drawbacks:

• Very few countries (USA, U.K, etc ) offer regulated binary options trading. Those who are not from these countries, can trade with an offshore regulated broker.

• The losses are actually big for traders. If the prediction goes wrong, the investor will loss 100% of the money including the principal amount.

Binary Options Current Situation (2017-2018)

After some scam activities, few countries have banned binary options trading in 2017. On January 2018, Facebook banned advertisements for binary options trading. Apart from this, Facebook has also banned advertising on Cryptos and ICOs.

As per a report of the City of London police, “700 people reported losing more than £18M to binary options scams in the first half of 2017”.

In 2018, all broker platform have changed their trading platform and come up with more transparent than before.

Binary Options Future

A few countries decided to ban options trading because of its scam activities.

However, in some countries, the business industry is still growing up and developing day by day.

Brokers are forced by regulatory bodies to implement stricter rules and regulations for binary traders. They are also making the platform more transparent to save their regulation.

For this reason, traders are getting more new kinds of services, better payouts and also bonuses.

At this time, most expiry time is around 1 min to 1 hour.

Final Words

Based on the above information, I believe that the binary options trading business has a bright future. The binary business will become much safer in the upcoming days.

More countries are officially showing their interest on options and also trying to implement their own trading law.

If you have any suggestion regarding binary options, please comment below.

Warning: Brexit Negotiation – Possible risks of trading on 15th January,2019

Possible-Risk-Of-Trading-For-Brexit-Negotiation

If you have been following the news for the past few days, then you surely must have come across the term ‘Brexit’. What exactly is it? What is the result of this action? For traders like us, how does Brexit impact trading? What are the ramifications of trading on the day of Brexit vote? These are the questions that we will answer here. Let’s start off by explaining what Brexit is.

Brexit is an acronym that is made of two words: Britain and Exit. So where does Britain exit from? The European Union. The European Union is an economic and political partnership of 28 European countries. It has its own currency (Euro).

A vote was held on 23rd June, 2016 in which the citizen of UK over the voting age could take part in deciding whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Nearly 30 million people voted in this referendum. It resulted in the favor of leave with 51.9% as opposed to 48.1% of people opting to stay.

You may wonder why Britain wants to exit out of the European Union. To answer briefly, there are three main reasons: Economics, immigration, and identity. It not possible for us to discuss this in this article as our main concern is how Brexit affects trading. Let’s shift our focus to that.

Prime Minister Theresa May has urged MP’s to back the Brexit deal by voting in favor of it on 15th January 2019. The deal once completed, will change the relationship of Britain with other countries. It is speculated that EU will impose tariffs and quotas on the UK.

Speaking of 15th January, everyone is holding their breaths with anticipation on what the outcome might turn to. The outcome is actually quite unpredictable. More than 200 MP’s have signed a letter to the PM urging her to rule out a no-deal Brexit.

We all know how market news directly affects trading prices of instruments. Sometimes, even insignificant news can impact the trading scenario all by itself. So you can imagine what an event with the magnitude of Brexit where the whole nation and the world await with gleaming eyes. It can change the face of the market completely.

There is a class of traders that trade on the basis of market news. These traders are labeled as ‘News traders’. They give more emphasis on market news rather than focusing on technical and fundamental analysis. Amidst the confusion and chaos, the market will surely turn more volatile than ever. There might be lack of liquidity in the case of some trading assets. And lack of liquidity directly translates to an affect in the price of the asset. The volatility of trading assets will increase as a result.

If the case of the British pound, a no-deal Brexit will result bearish for the Pound. And if the deal happens, then the Pound will be bullish. Again, this is all speculation and it may be really hard to speculate the price movement.

So, as a trader, what can you do to avoid facing a loss? Your safest bet would be to not trade on 15th January till the date the result is published. Now of course, you might have positions opened from previous trades. In this case, you can transfer all your trades to “close-only” mode. You can also increase your minimum distance for pending orders and widen your spreads. Make sure to keep your leverage low so that losses can be recovered from.

The strategy would be to protect your capital rather than risking more to score big profits. Again, if you can wait until the results of this deal are published, that’d be optimal. Once the results are out, it’d be easier to predict the market.

How will the markets react to the Brexit vote?

One day ahead of the Brexit vote, Live Sentiment data suggest that 84% of client accounts with open positions on EUR/GBP expect its price to drop, and 16% expect its price to rise.

Now that you know what the underlying risks are trading on the day of Brexit vote, do let us know in the comments down below whether you support or oppose the Brexit deal.
