Demo account vs. real account trading

Are the differences between the demo account and the real account? – From our experience, the execution of trades is very fast in the demo account like in the real money account. There are no differences between these two account types. You will get the same conditions.

In fact, real money trading can be more difficult because you will act differently like it is virtual money. The key to success is to learn to trade without emotions like in the demo account. As professional traders we recommend it to use the demo account like the real money account to gain the best experience in trading.

How to trade Binary Options?

Binary Options are not a complex financial product. Compared to other financial products traders understand very fast how it works. The features of Binary Options are clear and limited. Before you open a position you know the possible return of investment, your possible loss, the time duration, and the direction of the trade.

Binary Options:

• Rise/Fall (classic and most popular)
• Higher/Lower
• Touch/No Touch
• Ends Between/Ends Outside
• Stays Between/Goes Outside

Binary Options can be traded on currencies (Forex), indices, commodities, and volatility indices. Before you start trading you can customize your trading contract. Binary Options is a contract between the trader and the broker.

Features of Binary Options:

• Start Time
• Duration (ticks, minutes, hours, days)
• Investment (starting 1$)
• Allow equals or not
• Trade higher or lower

We recommend doing some test trades with the demo account before trading with real money. You should understand the financial product completely before real investments. The next picture will give you a deeper look at it.

In the picture above you see that you can invest in rising or falling markets. For “Higher” trades the exit spot has to be above your entry point and for “Lower” trades the exit spot has to be below your entry point. Just make a forecast of the market and start the trade.

Exit Spot:

For Binary Options only the exit spot is important. When the expiry time is over the price will be checked and you will get the payout or not. The yield can be up to 100%+. It does not matter if the price goes above or below within the contract duration.

All in all, Binary Options are very simple to trade. It is a popular financial product because you can earn a very high payout within a short period.
