Binary options are marketed as a form of investment. There are several different marketed investments such as all-or-nothing options, FROs, digital options, foreign exchanges, and others that are actually binary options. But how exactly binary options actually work?

You decide on what investment you would like to make first. For example, you place your money to invest on almost anything publicly traded, and basically see how that stock does for the day. And depending on how the financial product does, is how much you would make.

And if you lose, which means the stock did not do as predicted, you lose money. And binary options tend to be good practice for inexperienced traders.

  2. The second type of binary option is binary put options. Binary put options is opposite of binary call options in that you gain money when the underlying security is worth less money than the strike value of when you bought the binary option. Much research should be done before deciding which type of binary option is best for you.
