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:

1. Choose an Asset – Pick a stock, currency pair, commodity, or index.
2. Select a Timeframe – Choose an expiration time (seconds, minutes, hours, or days).
3. Make a Prediction – Decide if the price will go up (Call) or down (Put).
4. Set Investment Amount – Decide how much money to risk.
5. 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).
