Option trading

24Options has a nice selection of binary option types, based on a wide range of financial instruments. Examples of binary option types that can be purchased here are the classic binary option, the super fast binary option, the one touch binary option, and the interval (in/out) binary option.

On the classic binary options, 24Option pay up to 91 percent.

The super fast binary option is just like a classic binary option, but the maturity time is in the very near future. The shortest super fast binary option on the 24Option platform expires 30 seconds after purchase. A majority of the super fast binary options at 24Option pays 67%.

The 24Option one touch binary option is famous for its very high pay. Some of the most high paying ones will yield over 500% profit when they pay. When you purchase a one touch binary option, you risk your money on whether the underlying financial instrument will reach a specific point where a payout is triggered for the binary option. The financial instrument does not have to be at this point when the option actually expires; the financial instrument reaching the specified point at any time between purchase and expiration is enough for you to get paid on a one touch binary option. That is why these options are called one touch.

With an interval binary option, you task is to correctly predict if the underlying instrument will or wont stay within a certain interval for the duration of the option. (There are also interval binary options where you get paid as long as the underlying instrument is within the interval when the option expires.) These options are still quite rare but 24Option is one of the brokers that sell them.

Reputation

24Option has a good reputation online. They are usually praised for their easy to use platform, and the large selection of underlying instruments for binary options. An aspect that 24Option has received criticism among its users is that you only have one free withdrawal per month. If you need to make additional withdrawals, it can become quite expensive and eat into your profit margin.
