Binary option trading

Here are a few examples of binary options that you can buy at the 24 Option platform.

  • The classic binary optionThis is the most common type of binary option. To put it simply, your task is to accurately predict if the underlying financial instrument will go up or down. On these options, you can get up to 91% profit at 24 Option.
  • The interval binary optionInterval options, also known as in/out binary options, are still only available at a handful of trading platforms and the 24 Option platform is one of them. Instead of predicting if an underlying financial instrument will go up or down, your task is to predict if the price of the instrument will be within a certain pre-determined interval when the option matures.
  • The one-touch binary optionIf the underlying financial instrument reaches a certain pre-determined prize during the life time of the binary option, you get paid. This is a binary option where the entire lifetime of the option is taken into account, not just the prize of the financial instrument on the maturity date of the binary option.

    You can get a very high profit from these binary options at 24 Option, over 500% for some of them.

  • The super short optionThis as an option with a super short lifetime. The quickest ones available at 24 Option will mature 30 seconds after purchase.
