Regulatory agencies and authorities for binary options trading

Binary options are a form of investment where a trader tries to predict the future prices of assets in financial markets. For example, whether the Gold’s spot price, or the level of a major financial index, will go up or down withing a predefined time period ,also known as expirey time. The use of the term ‘binary’ refers to the fact that there can only be two possible outcomes to this investment. If the traders’ prediction is right they win the trade, on the other hand if the prediction is fals the trader loses the investment.
