No, they are scamming. They manipulate prices which you can see if you run a live FXCM feed while trading. I've downloaded the brower code and can see that they let you win at first (security level=0), then when you win a little they raise you to (security level=1) which means they display prices different than the actual price by about 20 pips. If you still find a way to win they upgrade you to (security level=3) which prevents you from betting agianst the direction they are cheating. If you ever see "option suspended", you have reached level 3 or 4.
Has anybody tried Lazy Day Trader from Keith Jones?! It has promising offers. It runs on OptionBit. I really don't know much about binary trading so I want all the information and advice I can get.
I'd like to share some observations here. I'm a very experienced trader but, admit to being a complete novice where binary options are concerned.
One of the worrying elements, when thinking about trading binaries, is that many firms come under the supervision of "mickey mouse" regulatory authorities. I don't have any confidence in companies regulated in Cyprus. If the company went bust, I think your chances of compensation, from the Cypriot government, may be between 0 and zero. I have never seen any evidence of claimants being paid compensation by the Cypriot financial authorities.
Whichever company, we trade with, should come under the auspices of a proper regulatory authority. It's essential that a genuine, investor compensation scheme exists. It's hard enough to make profits from trading without having to deal with even more phoney brokers and flakey regulators.
From my own research, it appears that binary options brokers are the biggest "rip off" merchants in the world of trading. If anyone can prove me wrong, then please do so. I would welcome getting shot down in flames, as a result of this post. So far, I haven't found a "binary options only" broker that I could have any confidence in.
I think the distinction between most binary brokers and Nadex is an important one. As pointed out above, Nadex is an exchange regulated by CFTC, same as any US-based futures exchange. That applies to any product that they list, binaries included. Like other futures/options exchanges, Nadex's revenue comes from transactional fees. Just like the other futures and options exchanges in the U.S.
CBOE is another US-based, regulated exchange that lists some binary options. Though unlike Nadex, binaries are not their main product offering. Like Nadex, CBOE is a fully regulated exchange that provides the matching mechanism for the markets they list. Revenue is transactional-based.
