For all the books and investment courses I bought your book is the easiest to understand. I read your book once and already understand the market better. Forex for beginners, was a great read. Your description of the trade was first rate, and the use of multiple time frames a revelation.

What I appreciate most is your teaching style Thank you for writing such a great and informative book. I think this book is very well written and has helped me read the charts better. I think your book is under priced!! Just a quick message to say that I love your book. Hi Anna! Foreword The goal of a successful trader is to make the best trades - money is secondary Alexander Elder - We all dream of financial freedom.

Of finally giving up the day job, and never having to worry about money again. No more worrying about paying the bills, or working in a job we hate. No more commuting, no more boss, and no one to tell us what to do or when. Imagine working from home with just a computer and a broadband connection.

A better quality of life for our family. More time with our partner. More time with our children. More time to actually enjoy life, and with enough money to buy those luxury items we have always dreamed about.

The fast car, the holiday home, the boat perhaps. All of these things and more, are now within our grasp. All we have to do is forecast whether a market is rising or falling in the next few minutes, and by how much. It sounds so simple. What could be easier? This is the dream of many traders, but is one few ever achieve, and sadly it remains just that, a dream. It is also the message many binary brokers promulgate with slick marketing campaigns and some clever tricks, guaranteed to lure you in with promises of get rich quick returns, using a small amount of trading capital.

Every emotional lever is used, with binary options promoted as the quick and easy way to fulfill your dreams. This is further endorsed by the less scrupulous internet marketers, who see this as the next get rich quick opportunity for themselves.

The binary brokers share some blame. However, as you will discover there are some excellent ones, but these are few and far between. The regulatory authorities in many countries have become so alarmed by the explosion of this market, many have banned this form of trading completely.

Some consider binary options as speculative trading instruments with regulation then falling within the financial services sector, whilst others consider them betting and gaming and regulated accordingly. The latter are generally countries who see this market as one for potential economic growth, and therefore take a more relaxed approach to the risks.

It is a market which is growing exponentially, and gaining in popularity as more and more traders are drawn to it like moths to a flame.

I could explain binary options in one short paragraph. In fact in chapter one I do just that. So, why have I written a book on the subject? Let me draw a parallel here with the forex market which has many similarities. Ten years ago you would have been hard pressed to find a forex broker, let alone be able to place a trade easily.

Gradually over the years, the retail trader and investor has become wise to the scams, sharp practice and over hyped marketing messages. The market has matured, aided by the regulatory authorities with traders of all levels becoming increasingly knowledgable. Long term success requires effort, good money management and a deep understanding of price action and market behavior. Sitting somewhere between fixed odds and vanilla options, binary options have it all, offering a broad range of markets, and not just forex.

Like a simple pack of cards, all you are being asked to do is to guess whether the next card is higher or lower than the last. A simple decision, with a simple outcome. Simplicity in spades. But sadly, this is where the good news ends and the bad news starts because the majority of binary options traders lose, and lose quickly.

If all this sounds rather depressing, help is at hand because this book covers all you need to know, and more about binary options. Nothing is held back. However, binary options elicit strong opinions.

Some people consider them gambling - pure and simple, whilst others consider them just another trading instrument. It is certainly true for some types of binary option, these are no more than a bet.

However, if you are prepared to avoid these and delve deeper into the world of binary trading and binary spreads, these are perfectly valid instruments, provided you are prepared to use them in the same way as any other instrument. In other words, a derivative of the spot or cash market, and as such, any analysis always starts with the chart. Binary options are just another instrument to consider. They may be appropriate for you or they may not. Much will depend on your trading strategy and style.

But in reading this book, you will at least be able to make a considered and balanced decision for yourself, and you will also be able to select a reputable and reliable broker. Used wisely, binary options have plenty to offer.

Use them foolishly and you will lose your money - fast. Who Am I? If you have discovered any of my other books, you will already know volume price analysis lies at the core of my trading methodology.

To me this approach just makes sense. It is what I fervently believe will help you to succeed as a trader, so you can fulfill your own dreams. It is the trading method I have used for over seventeen years in all markets.

And the reason is because it works, and to me just makes sense. It is an approach based on common sense and logic. The logic of volume and price action is these are the only two leading indicators we have. And for trading using binary options I believe this approach is critical to your success. As is trading in multiple timeframes, another core trading principle. At Gallant, we understand that we are only successful when our customers are successful.

The potential payout and initial investment are fully visible before the trade is placed, making this the smart choice for countless traders. Binary Options are named as such because they only have two possible outcomes: either the forecast is correct or it is not. As a trader, you decide how much you want to invest in the Option as there is no fixed price for the Option, just fixed return. Each option has both a start time and end time to trading, followed by an expiration time when the option expires and a gain or loss is realized.

There is no risk as you are not buying the asset, just predicting whether the price will rise or fall. Binary Options are simple, quick, and profitable!

Start making the most of your capital - trade global markets using this simple, capped-risk option. One-Touch is a method to trade an instrument, by speculating on a future target price range to be either higher or lower than the current strike price.

If you are even thinking of dipping a toe into the world of binary options, this book is for you. Even more so, if you are a novice or inexperienced trader.

Binary options are some of the most powerful, yet potentially destructive financial instruments to hit the trading world in the last few years. However, beneath this simplicity lies a web of complexity, rarely revealed or explained in detail. For the unwary, there are many hidden dangers, and used in the wrong way they are likely to destroy your capital fast. If you want to learn how to avoid the pitfalls and traps lurking in this market, this book is for you.

Binary options are perfectly valid trading instruments, but you have to understand the risks, and manage those risks accordingly. What This Book Covers? Binary Options Unmasked has been written to provide an objective and balanced view on this relatively new trading instrument. All market instruments carry risk, some more than others, and this is no different with binary options. No speculator or investor should ever invest or speculate in an instrument about which he or she has little or no knowledge.

There is no right or wrong way to approach the markets, only the right way for you, and I hope this book will explain all you need to know about binary options. The pros and cons, the risks, and yes, the scams you need to watch out for. Starting with the probabilities and risks involved in binary options, the book moves on to consider trading techniques to harness their power.

These include using volume price analysis, and trading on multiple charts, incorporating both tick charts and more conventional time based charts. From binary options, the book moves forward to binary spreads, which are now becoming increasingly available and explains how to use these in hedging strategies to manage risk.

Each topic and instrument is explained with both charts and schematic illustrations to help you learn more quickly. If you want to discover more about binary options before entering this market, this is the book for you.
