Binary trading (or binary options trading) is a high-risk financial instrument where traders bet on the price movement of an asset (such as stocks, forex, or commodities) within a fixed timeframe. The trade results in either a fixed profit or a total loss, hence the name “binary.”
How It Works:
- Choose an Asset – Pick a stock, currency pair, commodity, or index.
- Select a Timeframe – Choose an expiration time (seconds, minutes, hours, or days).
- Make a Prediction – Decide if the price will go up (Call) or down (Put).
- Set Investment Amount – Decide how much money to risk.
- Wait for Expiry – If your prediction is correct, you earn a fixed return (typically 70-90%). If wrong, you lose your full investment.

Risks & Warnings:
- High Risk – You can lose 100% of your investment.
- Scams – Many unregulated brokers operate scams.
- Gambling-Like Nature – Not a traditional investment, more like betting.
Regulation:
- Banned in some countries (e.g., EU, UK, Canada) due to fraud concerns.
- Allowed in some regions with strict regulations (e.g., U.S. under CFTC).
