Isn’t that what I said to you the other day??? ‘Nobody listens’ (in this case ‘reads’). LOL!!!
Anyway (and don’t ask me WHY I’ve gone to this trouble) here are some ‘helpful links’ (at least these two brokers are regulated or ‘subject to US regulatory oversight by the CFTC’ but I’d check that and I’d also check some broker reviews before ‘piling in’):

Edit:
Hmmnnn… After a little more ‘digging’ it turns out that NADEX is part of the IG Group which in its turn comprises IG Index and IG Markets (and NADEX as noted). I stress: check out broker review sites (as many as you can find e.g. www.forexpeacearmy.com is a good start)!!! And this applies ‘across the board’ i.e. no matter whether you want to trade Binary Options, spot FOREX, Futures, Commodities, etc. You get my point.
Edit 2:
I was just thinking: who knows. Maybe I’m wrong on this stuff. Us ‘old timers’ are always very quick to ‘jump’ on new ‘fan-dangled offerings’ without checking them out properly and don’t accept ‘change’ too readily (at least I don’t). Put it this way: with the brokers listed above I don’t see any ‘guaranteed returns’ or ‘skirts’ so therein may lie the difference!!! LOL!!! If I myself WERE to look at these things (Binary Options) (and I’m not about to run out and ‘give them a bash’ on Monday morning) then those are the places I’d look (although again ‘read between the lines’ i.e. I’ve not read TOO many ‘rave reviews’ about the ‘main’ broker in question here). But you’ll quickly find out whether the broker is ‘on the level or not’. It’ll only take two or three trades. The moment you see that the Binary Option was supposed to expire at a certain time and it is held open for a minute or two AFTER the noted expiry time OR if price just HAPPENS to ‘spike’ seconds before the expiry time resulting in your Binary Option expiring ‘out of the money’ well, then, you’ll know soon enough if you’re getting ‘nailed’ or not.
Having said the above let me tell you something interesting that I’ve been noticing for the past few weeks (maybe a month or so) (and this must by NO means be taken as my sanctioning the ‘Binary Options Skirt Brokers’ and their bad ‘behaviour’). As most will know I trade only trend following systems. With the markets being as volatile as they have been of late and with them trading in a range which is so obviously recognisable even I (ME) can see the range: I’ve found myself being ‘forced’ to trade on the shorter timeframes (4-hour and 1-hour) the logic being that even although on the daily charts the markets are trading in a wide range (but not wide enough for my trading systems to stop and reverse at a profit on the daily timeframes) there are ‘mini trends’ on the shorter timeframes that make up those alternate long up and down days and that’s worked quite nicely for me (much to my surprise). What I HAVE noticed though: almost always ‘like clockwork’ price will begin to move in one direction or another just SECONDS before the top of the hour (alright: I’m talking about the major indices here of course i.e. I don’t if this anomaly exists on spot FOREX). And here I’m talking about ‘normal’ trading not Binary Options or anything else like that. So it’s not INCONCEIVABLE that even under normal circumstances, with a Binary Option, and depending on which ‘flavour’ of Binary Option you’re trading, the price will move against you ‘split seconds’ before the Binary Option expires (assuming it expires ‘on time’). Do you see what I’m saying??? It’s gotten to the point with me (on the 1-hour timeframes) that if I have a signal from my trading systems to place an order I’ll take the signal bar ‘for what it is’ a few seconds before the top of the hour. By waiting for the new price bar to open: very often priced has moved too far for me to be able to place the required stop order (so you’re left with the choice of ‘jumping in at market’ and losing some points or just missing the trade). I’ve never noticed this before because normally I’ve only ever traded the daily timeframes. This is probably totally off-topic (or is it???) but I just thought it ‘worth a mention’.
