BINARY OPTIONS ON FOREX

Is anyone aware of such a platform with an API. Most work in
browsers, so browser helper functions could possibly help to
automate.

Reputable brokers, such as Dukascopy, offer Binary Options but,
of course U.S. persons cannot directly obtain live accounts. They
do not have an API, as is the case with most Binary Options brokers.

[edit] I am referring to classic “Foreign Binary Options” and have no
interest in the Nadex model.

I know traders who has no problems with hugosway and never had a problem with withdrawals but they been complaints about other things, i say we add them to the list as well, they haven’t proven they are a scam yet

the reason why i won’t put my money with them because their wire transfer was going to a bank in florida, that’s a no no for u.s. regulators and the reason Jafx got busted

Their (JAFX) bank was located in Florida so that’s how they got caught?

no their bank was in california

Oh okay. So by having a bank in the US that’s how they got caught

it didn’t help their case being on u.s.soil and accepting u.s. citizens not being regulated.

that was a big FU to the regulators

BINARY OPTIONS BROKERS

I’d like to pick your brains about Binary Options platforms operating
either anonymously, or available to U.S. persons. So-called
classic foreign binary options, not interested in Nadex, etc.

Arguably the best would be Binary dot com which is geo-blocked
against U.S. IP addresses. They are clearly the world wide leader,
as they support a full API for automated trading. NO U.S. ALLOWED.

One of the issues in Forex trading, is that outcomes are proportional
to price movements. Small movements, small outcomes. Hence the
need to wager very large Lot Sizes for micro scalping to be efficient,
and work in the context of the best pricings and commissions. It’s
a lot of work for limited results.

Binary Options, on the other hand, allow for small precision WINs to
pay out an arbitrarily large amount, maybe 90% of what is wagered.
So a 0.1 PIP WIN can make you 90% of your wager of any amount.
All or nothing, the so-called “binary” outcome.

[edit] unlike the very large Lot Size Forex trade, which could lose
a huge amount on a large price movement; the Binary Option deals
with a fixed wagering event, regardless of the size of the price
movement, thus being “safer” in that respect anyway.

[edit] one such anonymous platform is cryptobo dot com
but I am not in a position to confirm or deny its quality

I’m also still with Hugosway strictly for single share CFDs where I have no alternative option… still no problems so far, but I don’t have major capital with them.

Binary options are just like options it seems. However, every time I see or hear “binary options” its immediately associated with scam. Im not sure if thats because there are no good brokers or what? Would be interested in that though since I have traded nasdaq/nyse options.

Anyone ever used EagleFX?

Everyone is raving about them right now. Couple people I personally know use them and loves them.

Binary Options is a major scam in the past I tried at least 5 brokers and they all stole every drop of my money. Stay far far away from it is the best advice I could give. It was the worst decision in my trading career ever getting involved with binary options.

i believe HyperScalper is using them

Seriously investigating what is available to U.S. persons, as
well as working with some non-U.S. friends on automation.

In that category, it looks like “web scraping” in real time is the
only practical way to approach automation in most cases.

Yeah, no doubt need to be cautious; I’ll agree with that !

[edit] here’s some preliminary “investigation” work looking
at Order Flow Time and Sales versus Strike Pricing at CryptoBO
posted for “Educational Purposes” and “Entertainment” value :slight_smile:

[edit] a free open sourced project giving Java API access to 60+ crypto
exchanges is provided by:

https://knowm.org/open-source/xchange/

Thus, one could take multiple Time and Sales streams, and consolidate them
into a “master order flow” stream (across exchanges) in an effort to develop
trigger indicators for Crypto based trading decisions. Just sayin’… :slight_smile:
Well, not “order flow” but “time and sales” which can be used to estimate net
“real” order flow, as opposed to trying to study the Order Book which does not
represent actual executions… You’d want to look only at the “larger events”…
…sorry perhaps off-topic… :frowning:

How was your money stolen? Through trading, or some other issue?

Maybe you means by “them” EagleFX . I looked at them, and
it does seems to be a reasonable broker candidate. For pure
Forex not as competitive on pricing and commission as some
others, but looks solid from MT4.

didn’t you say you send some bitcoins their way

CRYPTOBO BTC/USD BINARY OPTIONS

Today’s Topic: “Should I be paranoid?”

So, twice, I’ve been very comfortably in the money, and then
within a 2 second interval from contract expiration the strike
price rapidly moved to force a loss. This has happened twice
and it is very suspicious. However, maybe I should see whether
it happens again?.. with the knowledge that traders are superstitious :slight_smile:

[edit] on a 1 minute contract, again, the very last SECOND
it rapidly forced a loss… time to be more paranoid?

I cross-referenced two independent accounts, and the strike
prices match up exactly. [edit] I have noticed differences in the "locked"
period, being different between the two account instances.
Not sure what this locked period is; I thought it was some re-evaluation
of strike prices, during which period it isn’t possible to trade.
Anybody know what it is?

[edit] I’m running their platform in Google Chrome for consistency,
one locally, and one on an Amsterdam server.

So, knowing that traders are paranoid, should I be paranoid
that they deliberately forced me to lose ?

Also, I have noticed that when you specify a 5 minute contract
interval that it frequently does not give the full 5 minutes to the
contract, as I’d think it should… [edit] sometimes it’s as short
as 90 seconds or so

Anyone have any experience with CryptoBO dot com ?
[edit] As it is an anonymous sign-up, it is possible for U.S. persons
to participate.

[edit] I THOUGHT YOU CRYPTO GUYS would jump at the opportunity
to comment on this ! :wink: and tell me this was inconsistent with
my well being :slight_smile:
