Hello JHenry,
Welcome to the trading world. Yes, there is a difference between Options trading and Binary options trading.
In regular options trading, you can trade smoothly without having any steps. Thus in binary options, traders need to follow some steps. On the other hand, in binary options, the payoff is fixed.
There are so many trading platforms which are offering options trading for traders. You can enjoy options trading with IQOption, Binomo, Olymp Trade and so on.
If traders accept MT4 platform, then you can download the platform in your trading device or you can directly browse from the web.
Before doing anything, this is my recommendation to read more and more regarding the broker and the trading types. Knowledge is the most important thing to build up your trading career.
