Thread: The Binary Options Boom

A huge buzz is going around in the industry around Binary Options. And apparently, there's a decent amount of affiliates making a lot of money in this vertical. So, what is it all about, and should you keep this vertical in your radar?

Quick overview on Binary Options: In finance, a binary option is a type of trading option where the payoff is either some fixed amount of an asset or nothing at all. Truly an all or nothing situation. The two main types: Cash or nothing or Asset of nothing.

Here's a great article on the Binary Options Vertical: Understanding the Binary Options Boom

So, should you keep this on your radar... I definitely think so. Typically, binary options offer VERY HIGH returns, in lots of cases upwards of 70%. It's getting a lot of interest with online gambling traffic because it a) requires skilled-based trading approaches and b) the trade return occurs in a matter of minutes or hours (rather than days or weeks) so that instant feedback on the action is immediately shown.

Any input from Affiliate Partners out there? What have you seen with the Binary Options vertical?

I guess there's more than what meets the eye. Customer value is highly dependant on the type of platform and the tools offered. Interesting to note that there are many from the casino industry who are setting up shop in the binary options niche.
