    OptionTrade, voted Best New Binary Options Broker in Europe 2014, opened its advanced OT Trader platform to clients in 2013 and hasn’t looked back since! As the Binary Options off-shoot of leading FX broker HotForex, this innovative newcomer to the Binary Options scene is exhibiting an unwavering commitment to client security, transparency and the provision of a trading service that clients have come to rely on. So, let’s take a look at what sets OptionTrade apart.

    About Binary Options

    Binary Options trading is currently the fastest growing sector in the global financial services industry and is said to offer an easier introduction into the world of trading. A Binary Options trade involves just 3 steps:

    (1) Choosing an asset;

    (2) Predicting whether the price of that asset will rise or fall by a specific point in time; and,

    (3) Deciding how much to invest.

    Due to the apparent simplicity of Binary Options, traders often underestimate the importance of developing the trading skills and knowledge required. Developing a solid strategy is just as important when trading Binary Options as it is when making any other type of investment. This is where a broker like OptionTrade really shines! OptionTrade has invested copious amounts of time and resources into creating a service that encourages traders to maximize their potential by participating in complimentary training programs, such as multilingual Live Webinars and Beginner to Advanced Video-on-Demand Courses that are targeted at satisfying the specific trading needs of Binary Options traders.explore

    Security of Client Funds

    OptionTrade is regulated and licensed by CySEC (Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission) CIF license no. 183/12, it is also required to operate in accordance with the EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). In addition, OptionTrade client funds are:

    • insured up to EUR 20,000 through the Investors Compensation Fund (ICF); and,
    • deposited in segregated accounts at leading global banks and are kept completely separate from the Company’s money.

    A Reliable Binary Options Trading Service

    The OptionTrade team has worked tirelessly to differentiate their service and the result is a cutting-edge Binary Options trading environment that ticks all the right boxes. The combination of a highly user-friendly intuitive interface; fast, transparent trade execution; and, a secure trading environment make OptionTrade a fast-emerging leader in the dynamic Binary Options industry.
