how to pick up women:Learning How To Be More Humorous
Learning How To Be More Humorous
We all know the importance of having a good sense of humor, but unfortunately, this is an area that a lot of guys need to improve on. Many men do have a sense of humor, but they'd lose it when certain dating situations demand it.
A popular misconception is that humor natural-born talent that is "lucky to have" (as opposed to an ability that can be acquired through learning). Well, maybe some men are naturally more humorous than the rest, but the fact is: Humor CAN be acquired... Fast!
I've always been asked the question "how can I become funnier?" It seems the harder you try, the harder it becomes, doesn't it? Well, if you aren't "gifted" with a natural sense of humor, your best bet is to learn the "system" of making women laugh, i.e. the proven "formulas" that you can rely on to make any woman laugh at any time and any place.
And here's the good news if you want to become more humorous: renowned dating coach Martin Merrill has designed a course specifically to train men to become better at making women laugh. The course will teach you many tested-and-proven "humor techniques" that you can apply easily in any dating situation. (They work 100% because humans react similarly to certain type of "humor stimuli" across different cultures, as you'll learn in the course.)
As far as I know, this "Make Women Laugh" course is the only real solution in the market to improve one's sense of humor and ability to make women laugh. And the best part is -- you can try it out for 60 days -- If you don't find yourself becoming more humorous, you can ask for a full refund without any hassle.

Tips on dating: Why Humor Is Must If You Want To Be Good With Women
Why Humor Is Must If You Want To Be Good With Women
Have you noticed that humor is a common trait of men who are good with women? In fact, most women claim that they want men who can make them laugh...Well, we all know, almost instinctively, that humor is an essential quality of attractive men and a powerful tool to be used in any dating situation... But why? Why is humor powerful?
Humor is associated with laughter, and laughter is associated with pleasure and happiness. Which girl doesn't want to have a good time? And would YOU rather be around someone who can make you laugh heartily or otherwise?
Humor is also associated with being comfortable with oneself, because usually only guys with unshakable confidence have a great sense of humor. The typical image of a humorous guy is never flustered or too hung up about trivial things. Instead, he's able to have fun in even the most difficult situations and he knows how to make others have fun.
Simply put, humorous guys are attractive.
Additionally, humor is a powerful way to diffuse tension. You can pull off almost any embarrassing situations or misunderstandings with the right humor. Made a mistake when approaching a woman? Wrong vibe? Humor can always come in handy to turn it around. In fact, it's psychologically impossible to dislike someone who have consistently made you laugh for a couple of times.
If you would like to be empowered with the ability to make any woman laugh at any time and any place, then you've got to check out the amazing course called "Make Women Laugh" authored by dating coach Martin Merrill. find out more information by clicking here http://tinyurl.com/8rq7bv7
Dating women:Why Dating Shouldn't Be "Hard Work"
Why Dating Shouldn't Be "Hard Work"
by Amy Waterman
You may not realize it, but you have an advantage where men are concerned.It's called "Life Experience," and most of us women have got it in spades.
Life experience can’t be bought. You can only get it through living, loving, getting hurt, getting back up again, and loving some more.
Sure, there are lots of people out there who study love, and they’ll tell you that you need to do all sorts of things to get a man’s interest: you have to mirror his body language, understand his psychological triggers, read his subtle subconscious cues, and so forth.
But you've managed to meet men in the past without jumping through all those hoops.
Maybe you've even managed to get married and have kids without needing to know a thing about "psychological triggers"!
Which brings up a very interesting question...
Why do you HAVE to work so hard at meeting men?
Can't it just happen naturally?
Is it really necessary to change who you are just to catch a man’s eye? Surely you should be able to attract men by just being YOU.
After all, “being you” works for you. You like who you are. You don’t have the time or energy to change yourself for a man, even if he does look like Brad Pitt. (Well, there are always exceptions!)
Dating Can Be Hard Work
Trying to date according to the "latest
expert advice" isn't easy. All too often, it adds pressure to our
already burdened lives.
It’s tough when you expect a lot of yourself.
The sad thing is: we all do it.
We expect ourselves to be Superwoman. We have to be the perfect mother
to our children and the perfect daughter to our parents. We have to be
the perfect friend and the perfect employee. We have to keep up on the
latest news and keep our weight down and keep ourselves healthy and find
time for ourselves in the midst of it all.
We put a LOT of pressure on ourselves.
Then, when we start looking at our love life (or lack thereof), it all seems too much.
With everything else going on in our
lives, do we really have to find the time to socialize just so that we
can meet men and waste our time having dinner with someone we’re not
even the least bit attracted to? Come on!
What You Need is a Fairy Godmother
You don't need more advice.Life experience has already taught you everything you need to know about how to "catch a man's eye," and you're SO over that.
The more you live, learn and love, the more you realize that “catching a man” is a bit silly.
Sure, all that flirtation and romantic intrigue is fun and helps you feel good about yourself, but in the end it rarely goes where you want it to go.
These days, you’re less interested in fooling around and more interested in sharing your life with someone.
You’ve just got to find the right man.
Someone who’s interesting, easy on the eyes, fun to be with – who’s also decent, honest, and stable. Someone who’s not going to take your heart and run with it.
Actually, forget the man.
What you really need is a fairy godmother to wave her magic wand over you and instantly manifest your ideal relationship with your perfect mate!
Your Guide to Fearless Dating
I wish with all my heart that I could solve all your relationship worries with one swish of my pen and a “Bippity-boppity-boo!”But I can’t.
Instead, what I CAN do for you is give you a one-of-a-kind makeover that will help you relax around men, enjoy yourself more, feel more confident, and have more faith in the future.
It's all in my brand-new course, The REAL Women REAL Love Guide to Fearless Dating!
Forget about endless rules, techniques, strategies and psychological games.
Forget about feeling inadequate, awkward, or inauthentic.
Forget about working hard just to meet men you're not interested in anyway.
Forget about feeling inadequate, awkward, or inauthentic.
Forget about working hard just to meet men you're not interested in anyway.
This is about attracting men simply by being WHO YOU ARE...
And not what someone else thinks you should be.
Does that sound good to you? If so...
Dating for men:Do You Want a Relationship?
Why Are You Still Single?
by Amy Waterman
You're tired of being alone. You want to meet someone.
But you just can't be bothered with the effort it takes.
Why give up your comfy evenings at home
for a cold bar and nervous conversation? Besides, your life is just fine
as it is. You don't "need" a man to be happy.
Hello! My name is Amy Waterman.
And I've got a book that you just might be interested in.
Dating for REAL Women
It's a program designed specifically for women who've had a little "life experience" under our belts!
We women don't always realize it, but we have a lot going for us: maturity, wisdom, and life experience, to name but a few.
But when it comes to meeting men, we tend to think that we're operating at a disadvantage.
We think that something about us puts men off.
If it's not our weight, it's our age. If
it's not our previous marriage, it's the fact that we have kids.
Anyway, all the good men our age have already been taken, so there's no
use trying, is there?
We've got a LOT of reasons to avoid
trying to meet men. We're good at convincing ourselves that we can't be
bothered with dating.
I've got to be honest with you.
Those excuses just don't cut it.
Why You're Still Single
You may have 101 reasons that you're still single, but I'm not believing any of them.
The REAL reason you're still single ... is because YOU want to be.
The fact is: if you really wanted to be in a relationship right now, you'd be in one.
But I suspect - and this is only a hunch - that you have a lot of fear inside where relationships are concerned.
I think you're worried about putting yourself out there...
Worried about getting hurt...
Worried about what will happen when a man sees the "real you"...
Worried about what you'll have to give up if you meet someone.
There's nothing "wrong" with those fears. Everyone has them.
But you'll only hold yourself back if you allow your fears to affect how you live your life.
Do You Want a Relationship?
Are you tired of being on your own all the time?
Do you ever want to lean on a man’s
strong shoulders and let him carry part of the burden … but you’re
scared to, because you worry that the moment you lean on him, he’ll step
away and let you fall to the ground?
If you answered yes, I have good news.
My brand-new course, The REAL Women REAL Love Guide to Fearless Dating, is designed to help women who feel stuck in their love life.
If you've ever felt that you're doomed to
be on your own forever, then this program will help you BREAK through
those barriers keeping you single.
My program is based on the Four Pillars,
which are four foundational principles that will keep you strong,
loving, and 100% irresistible.
Master these Four Pillars, and you'll irresistibly attract anyone you come in contact with, not just men!
That's because my system helps you
rebuild your life from the inside out, starting with your thoughts and
feelings about men and relationships.
When you've got a good solid emotional
foundation, your ability to flirt and make small talk with men flows
naturally. You don't even have to think about it!
Say YES to a New Life!
One thing is certain:
If you don't change something now, your life is never going to change.
You can't just sit back and wait for Prince Charming to come knocking on your front door.
Love doesn't come knocking. YOU have to invite it in.
I invite you right now to visit my website, www.RealWomenRealLove.com.
Take that first step towards change. Open up those doors to love. And I promise:
You'll never look back.

Don't Give Up on Dating Without Trying This First
by Amy Waterman
Dating SHOULD be easy.
There's enough dating advice online, in women's magazines, and on talk shows to solve every woman's problems.
So why aren't we all happily married to our perfect mate?
I asked myself this question recently
when yet another lovely woman in her forties introduced herself to me,
saying that she'd been single for the past decade and she was ready to
give up on men.
"It's too much work," she said. "I can't
sit around waiting for a man to drop onto my front doorstep. I've got to
get on with my life. And if that means that I don't end up meeting
someone, so be it." She shrugged.
My heart dropped when she said that.
I know it's difficult to meet men (and
even more difficult to find one worth your time), but that doesn't mean
you have to GIVE UP on love.
Would you resign yourself to a lifetime alone just because it's "easier" staying single?
I knew what I had to do.
Dating Advice for REAL Women
Most of us women don't need more dating advice.
We've been married or in a serious relationship before. We're not novices. We know more about men than a lot of people!
But what we DON'T know is why love isn't happening as easily for us this time around.
There's something tripping us up. Maybe
there just aren't as many good men around these days. Maybe we're just
not sending off the right vibes. Maybe the dating world has moved on.
Maybe it's old-fashioned to expect courtship and marriage anymore.
What we need is some sort of diagnostic tool to hone in on the REAL reason our love life seems stuck in first gear.
Luckily, I knew just the thing...
My Story
I've spent the past five years devouring
dating research as part of my quest to unravel what modern women need to
know about love.
I can't count the number of times I've
read about some "magical secret" that would trigger a man's
psychological commitment switch, or some "secret power" that would
enable a woman to seduce any man she laid eyes on.
To me, those kinds of tricks always seemed rather silly.
Like many women, I didn't want power over
men. I just wanted to be HAPPY. And part of "being happy" was having
someone - just one man, thank you very much - to share my life with!
My needs were quite simple: all I wanted
was someone I could trust, who loved me like I loved him, and who would
be there for me no matter what. That's it.
And I knew that I wasn't alone. Most women, if they're honest with themselves, want the same thing.
So why, then, was it still so hard?
Why couldn't all the dating advice in the
world change the fact that so many of us women were still on our own
with no decent prospects in sight?
The Secret to Attracting Love
I found the answer unexpectedly. It
wasn't in some dating manual or relationships guide. It was in a classic
self-help book published back in the 1980s.
In an instant, it changed everything for me.
The secret to attracting love, I
discovered, didn't have anything to do with pushing a man's buttons or
making him see us in an attractive light.
That's where we were all going wrong.
Most dating advice wrongly assumes that
you need to DO something or CHANGE something about yourself to be more
attractive to men.
Actually, you don't need to convince men of ANYTHING.
Putting too much energy and attention into attracting men can actually achieve the opposite.
So what does it really take to turn your luck in love around?
Come on a Journey with Me
In my latest ebook, I take my readers on an emotional journey.
We travel through our thoughts, feelings, and past heartbreak to find the root of our issues with men.
It's a journey of discovery, and it's not always easy. It can be hard to look inside and see the truth of what you feel.
It can be hard to face up to who you've always been and who you've always wanted to be.
But nothing good ever comes without a little hard work, does it?
My course will take you to a place where
you finally feel happy with yourself, happy with your life, and wholly,
completely loved.
Would you like to go there with me?
Join me on the adventure of a lifetime, with my Guide to Fearless Dating.

"What Do You Offer To Support Your Affiliates?"
"What Do You Offer To Support Your Affiliates?"
I offer lots of support for my affiliates. Let’s face it, being an affiliate is like becoming business partners, if you don’t make any money, I don’t make any money! So I want to do everything in my power to help you turn your traffic into dollars.
Here’s some of what I offer my affiliates…
- Super-High 70% Commission Rate — I know that a well paid person will work harder than someone who isn’t, that’s why I offer almost three-quarters of the entire purchase price of my courses. I have a system of upsell and backend sales so that one purchase can lead to multiple purchases. That means more money (and less work) for you!
- Cookie Tracking For 90 Days — Let’s face it, most people don’t buy from a site right away. But because everyone who views my sales copy has to sign up for my email newsletter, the chance of making a subsequent sale is much greater!
This means if anyone you send me makes subsequent purchases within 90 days of clicking your affiliate link – be it from reading one of my newsletters or simply having a change of heart – you still get credit for the sale!
I have my email list set up for three months of auto responders, so the chances of this happening are quite good. Even if they click through on my emails, you’ll get the credit for the sale if the cookie is still on their computer.
- Specialized Niche Targeting — My book caters to a specific niche, which doesn’t compete with other dating products, but rather "compliments" them. People who’ve bought popular dating products such as Double Your Dating, High Status Male, Dating Dynamics, Real World Seduction, and in-field workshop students have bought my book because they wanted more information on how to meet women so they could put the tactics these products teach to better use. Many workshops (including the popular Mystery Method) regularly recommend my book for student’s to read before coming to the workshop. Because of this, you’ll see little impact on the sales of your other dating-related affiliate products.
- Full Ad And Keyword Tracking With Statistics — One problem with Clickbank is the lack of information they offer their affiliates about each sale. But my Affiliate System can tell you the exact click that brought you the sale, including the ad or keyword that brought the customer to the site.
"Can I Get A Copy Of Your Course To See If It Is Something I Would Like To Sell?"
Yes, I do offer review copies of my course to potential affiliates.
If you want a review copy, please email
me asking for a copy to review, and include your website name and
address so I can make sure you’re actually an affiliate instead of
someone trying to get a freebie!
You can email me your request at affiliates@artofapproaching.com.
"Do You Do Joint Ventures With Other Merchants?"
"Do You Do Joint Ventures With Other Merchants?"
Yes.Many of my best affiliates are other merchants who sell similar products to mine. I believe there is an abundance of customers in this market, and I am not afraid to "share the wealth" by endorsing other people’s products if I feel they are good and my customers can benefit from them.
Many merchants are very stingy with their email lists and customers, trying to hord them and keep them to themselves.
However, I believe that the average male dating customer is interested in many different ideas and viewpoints, so I do not shy away from the idea of endorsing other products and sending out reviews or recommendations to my sizeable email list.
I do ask for a copy of your product for me to review before I agree to endorse it. I have very strict guidelines about what I will and will not endorse to my customers, since they have come to expect a certain level of quality from me. I make enough money and am not looking to "get rich quick" with the offer of a high commission rate.
I look for quality products from quality merchants. If I feel it can help people, I will endorse it, even if there is no payout in it for me.
I believe relationships are the foundation of every good business, and I am always open to offers to do joint ventures with other merchants looking to boost their sales. If you are interested in pursuing a joint venture with me, please email me at jointventure@artofapproaching.com to work out the details.

INTRODUCTION TO BINARY OPTIONS
Binary options is one of the latest innovations in the financial markets. They are
also known as “Digital Options” as they have only 2 possible outcomes.
Investors in binary options will reap a predetermined amount of profit
if they expire “in the money”. Conversely, if a binary option expires
“out of the money”, they will only suffer a fixed amount of losses. For
example, if a binary options pays out 80% and expiry falls in the
money, this mean for an investment of $100, the investor will reap a
return of $180 (a profit of $80). On the other hand, for the same amount
of investment ($100), if the option expires out of the money, the
investor will only stand to lose $100. Nevertheless, binary options
brokers often offer up to a 15% refund on the amount invested if a
binary option expires out of the money.
Binary
options is an OTC market meaning over the counter, this means that a
the broker offers directly the assets to the trader without a
third-party such as a bank. As binary options is global there is always a
market to trade, across the Stock Exchanges of London, NY and Asia.
It’s a veritable 24/7 market which is one of the reasons it holds such
appeal. With the advancement of online trading during the last few
years, Binary options are available to be traded on any web trading platform provided by the binary options brokers.
These web based platforms have all the necessary tools like prices and
charts displayed in real time to help traders get a sense of the market.
Once the trader has decided on his investment strategy, the purchase of
a “Call” or “Put” binary option can simply be done with just a click of
the mouse. Furthermore as the trading platform is web-based, binary
options traders can trade from any location around the world.
Compared
to Vanilla options (normal options), binary options have a different
risk/reward structures and different fees as well. Nevertheless, because
they have just two possible outcomes, binary options are extremely
simple and novice traders can easily get a grip on them and use them for
investment purposes. The trader is only required to bet on the
direction of the price fluctuations and the quantum of the fluctuations
to win the wager.
For
example, if the trader feels that the price of an asset will rise, he
should put his money into a “Binary Call Option”. Alternatively, if the
trader feels that the price of an asset is going to fall, he should then
buy a “Binary Put Option”. The correct determination in some cases can
yield returns as high as 85%. But what is really attractive about binary
options is the fact that they help investors to quantify their risks.
Binary options cover a wide range of markets. There are binary options
to allow traders to trade with bonds, Commodities, Bonds, Forex and
indices. Some brokerages even offer binary options for traders to make
money off economic news like interest rate decisions by the Federal
Reserve or the European Central Bank (ECB).
Binary
options being a Fixed Rate Option (FRO) have a predetermined fixed
percentage of return unlike vanilla options. The potential gains of
Vanilla options can be infinite but theoretically, their risk levels are
much higher as well.
COMPARISON BETWEEN BINARY OPTIONS AND VANILLA OPTIONS
1. Expiration Time:
Binary options are available with a variety of expiration time like 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly, daily, weekly and monthly. Vanilla options on the other hand expire once a month.
2. Payout:
The payouts for binary options are fixed while vanilla options’ returns are based on the dynamics of the market.
3. Expiration in the Money:
Expiration in the money for Vanilla options are based on a relationship between the strike price and the underlying price of the asset. For binary options, traders only have to be concerned with the direction of the price movement.
4. Right To Buy:
With Vanilla options, the holder of the options has the legal rights to exercise the options into stocks. For binary options, no such rights exist.
Due
to their simplicity and the fact that they are issued 24/7, the
potential gains to be realized can be quite significant for the average
retail trader without having to resort to complex technical analysis.
As an Over-The-Counter (OTC) market, binary options are traded globally and across different time zones allowing for 24/7
trading. The scope of the types of assets for binary options covers
different markets like:
Forex:
This market covers all the major currencies traded and some minor currencies as well (depending on the broker). These include:
• AUD/USD
• EUR/GBP • EUR/JPY • EUR/USD • GBP/USD • NZD/USD • USD/BRL • USD/CAD • USD/CHF • USD/EGP • USD/JPY • USD/RUB • USD/SGD • USD/TRY • USD/ZAR
Commodities:
Binary Options for Commodities are based on the futures contracts that are traded on the CME Group. They include:
• Coffee
• Crude Oil • Gold • Natural Gas • Platinum • Silver • Sugar • Wheat
Stocks & Indices:
Binary options for stocks of major Multinational Corporations are also available to be traded now. A trader during the trading for Asia can trade in binary options for stocks and indices like:
• ASX 200 Index
• BHP Billiton • Commonwealth Bank • CSL • Hang Seng Index • Macquarie Group • Newcrest Mining • Nikkei 225 Index • Rio Tinto • Sony • Straits Times Index • Tata Motors (India) • Toshiba Co
During the trading day for Europe, traders can deal with binary options for stocks & indices like:
• AXA
• Barclays • BNP Paribas • BP • CAC 40 index • FTSE 100 index • HSBC, • Lloyds • RBS • Sanofi-Aventis • Tesco • Total
For the U.S. financial market, traders can invest in binary options for stocks and indices like:
• Amazon
• General Electric • IBM • Mastercard, • Microsoft (US) • NASDAQ indices • Nike (US) • Reuters (US • S&P 500
Apart
from the wide range of assets to trade in, traders for binary options
also have options to trade with different types of binary options like:
• Cash or Nothing
The classic version of the binary options platforms where traders have to speculate whether the price will rise or fall.
• Asset or Nothing
Essentially the same as Cash or Nothing options with the difference being having the option price fixed by the asset price instead of being random.
• One Touch
The trader has to determine the exact value that he thinks the asset price will reach upon expiry of the binary option.
• No Touch
“No Touch” binary options are the exact opposite of “One Touch” binary options. Instead of hoping for the value of the option to coincide with the asset price upon expiry, traders in this case try to determine the threshold that the asset price will never reach upon expiration.
Binary options are especially useful for those investors who are interested in trading
in the Forex market. The Forex market is currently the largest
financial market in the world with a daily turnover of at least three
trillion dollars. As the most liquid market in the world, this provides
plenty of opportunities for traders to make money from the volatility of
this market. As binary options are simple and less risky, retail
traders are emboldened to take more chances to invest in this lucrative
market.
Spot
Forex trading, by definition, is the buying and selling of currencies
of different countries. For those who are new to the financial market,
when we talk about Forex trading,
we are always talking about dealing with a “Pair” of currencies. In
other words, it is about buying a currency and selling another currency
simultaneously. For example, when we buy the EUR/USD currency pair, we
are buying Euros and selling U.S dollars at the same time. Conversely,
when we sell EUR/USD, we are selling Euros and buying U.S dollars
simultaneously. The exchange rate of these two correlating currencies is
determined by the market.
The
way which Forex traders earn is by pocketing the differences between
the prices they paid for a currency pair to that of the prices which
they get when they liquidate their market position. In short, there are
two ways to go about trading Forex. The first way is by dealing
directly with the currency pairs themselves. If a Forex trader feels
that the U.S dollar is going to rise against the Euro, in this scenario
to profit for the upward fluctuation of the U.S dollar, the Forex trader
will need to hold a “long” market position on the EUR/USD currency
pair.
In
other words, the Forex trader needs to sell Euros and buy U.S dollars
and hold this position until the U.S. dollar exchange rate rises in
relation to the Euro. Once the trader feels that the rise has plateaued,
he can then liquidate his market position to realize his gains. When
trading in Forex, a trader will be required to hold or sell his asset
until:
1. He liquidates his market position manually to realize his profit or minimize his loss.
2. His trade is closed automatically due to a “Stop Loss” or “Take Profit” order.
3.
His trade is closed due to a “Margin Call”. A margin call occurs when
the balance in the trader’s account falls below the broker’s required
minimum deposit.
Forex
traders utilize the margin facility provided by their brokers to
leverage their investment capital a few hundred folds in order to
maximize their profit potential. Nevertheless, the risk pertaining to a
Forex trader’s transaction is also magnified many folds to the extent
that a trader can lose his entire trading capital in his trading account
if the market moves against him. This is the main reason why Forex
trading in itself is extremely risky.
The second way to trade Forex is with binary options.
With binary options trading, the risk is lowered significantly to the
extent of a trader’s investment and not to the extent of his entire
trading account capital. It is just like purchasing any options as the
trader can only lose the actual amount invested. Besides having lower
risk, a trader can have more control over the level of risk he wants to
undertake. Furthermore, even if the binary option expires “out of the
money”, the trader can still recoup a portion of his initial capital
investment (normally around 10% to 15% depending on the broker).
In addition, with binary options trading,
traders have more asset types at their disposal, to take advantage of
the various market situations. For example, let’s say the market is
ranging, with normal Forex trading; a trader is likely to incur losses
due to his stop loss orders catching. With binary options trading, a
trader can use “Range Binary Option” to profit from the market when the
market is within a range as well as outside a range.
Another
type of asset which is available with binary options trading but not
normal Forex trading is “Touch Binary Options”. With this type of binary
options, traders can profit from situations where the market is
“testing” the support and resistance lines but doesn’t breach them. With
normal Forex trading, a trader can only trade in one direction and when
the market is volatile with strong fluctuations; such situations tend
to result in Forex traders suffering losses. This is another area where
binary options trading reign supreme.
In
summary, although the level of possible profits achieved is higher with
normal Forex trading, the risk level is also very much higher as well.
With binary options trading, the risk level is lowered significant while
still allowing traders to reap a respectable amount of profits. In
short, binary options trading is ideal for those traders who are just getting their feet wet in the financial market.
While
binary options are simple as compared to vanilla options, the
calculations behind the pricing of them are complex and sophisticated.
It is for this reason that binary options are classified under the
umbrella of exotic options. Hence the type of assets to trade in with
regards to Binary Options trading depend very much on which financial markets that the trader want to focus on.
Binary options are generally available for the four (4) financial markets listed below:
• Commodities
• Forex • Indices • Stocks
Each of the above mentioned markets have different characteristics and different factors that will influence them. Although binary options
are simpler and less risky than the traditional financial instruments,
one must still be aware of the fundamental factors that can cause prices
to fluctuate. In other words, traders must be aware of both macro and
micro factors that affect the respective markets. Making profits with
binary options trading is dependent upon traders selecting the right
category of asset to trade in.
The Commodities Market:
The Commodities market deals with raw and unprocessed products from the mining, oil and agriculture industries. In this market, you get products like Crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper together with many other organic products cotton, coffee, cocoa and concentrated orange juice. What is special about the Commodities market is that they are moved more by expectation of the future. The prices reflected in the commodities contracts actually represent what the market is willing to pay for them sometime in the future. Futures contracts are usually for a three month duration. Therefore, to get the most out of this market, traders for binary options in commodities should trade at the beginning or towards the middle period of the three months futures contracts.
The Forex Market:
Forex trading can best be understood as trading with currency pairs like the British Pound against the U.S. dollar. In other words, we are pitting the performance of the British pound to that of the U.S. dollar. The Forex market is unregulated and there is a great deal of volatility in this particular market. Because of the volatility, the potential for profit is high from the release of major economic news from the Federal Reserve and ECB. Hence, traders of binary options in the Forex should take note of events in their economic calendar.
The Index Market:
The index market is quite similar to the Forex market in the sense that trading is generally done electronically and available 24 hours a day. The index market is quite liquid as it bundles several types of assets together to be traded as one. In this respect, it is easier to trade than having to deal with individual stocks and commodities. However because of this bundling, the index market is not as price sensitive as individual assets. Some indices have a lag before they respond to the market trends. Traders who lack patience will definitely face a pitfall when it comes to trading in this market.
Although
the index market is used to represent the longer trends, they can
easily make a turnaround as result from the impact of an immediate
knock-on effect of an economic situation. As the value of indices
depends on a selected number of stocks, binary options trading
is best done when major announcements are made by companies that are
covered under the index. A good understanding of each index is essential
as they all react differently to the market trends and market news.
The Stock Market:
Stocks from popular multinational companies are covered by the Binary options market. Even though the performances of stocks are affected by macro economic factors, they are affected to a greater degree by news of their respective industry as well as their profit and loss accounts. As such, the best time to deal in binary options for the stock market is when these companies announce their quarterly, half yearly or annual earnings.
Compared to the traditional financial instruments, binary options
offer a distinct advantage over them due to the ability to quantify the
risk level for investors. The potential to reap high returns is still
there but the losses are restricted only to the actual amount invested.
With traditional financial instruments, because many traders leverage
their investment capital with the margin facilities provided by their
brokers, these traders face a situation where their entire capital in
their trading accounts can be wiped out in the blink of an eye if the
market turns against them.
The
likelihood of total loss is very high especially for volatile markets
like the Commodities market and Forex markets. As such, many traders are
using binary options to trade in the Commodities markets as well as the
Forex markets. As we have covered trading in the Forex market with
binary options in the above sections. This section will discuss about
trading in the Commodities markets with binary options.
The
commodities market is made up of several parties like the producers,
middlemen (whole sellers), dealers and traders. All the combined
activities of the various stakeholders result in a huge turnover in the
commodities market with each party trying to pass the risk of
uncertainty to each other. This is how profits are made by the party
that made the right determination and losses incurred by those who bet
on the wrong side of the market.
The
commodities market is about future expectations. Producers of
agricultural products use this market to hedge the risk of lower prices
for their produces with the futures contracts. Unpredictable factors
like adverse weather can easily wipe out an entire season of crop within
a few hours and this is why sellers and producers trade in the
expectations of the future to lower this unknown risk factor.
For traders, to hedge the risk level against the volatility of the commodities market is more risky than using binary options.
We already explained earlier why using vanilla options can easily wipe
out a trader’s investment capital in a blink of an eye if the market
moves against him. Because binary options allows trader to quantify the
risk factor, they can be said to be a better investment vehicle for this
particular volatile market.
Depending
on the actual market situation, binary options traders only have to
predict the trend of the market and ignore the pricing level to be
achieved. If a trader predicts that the market is on an upward trend, he
just needs to buy a binary “Call” option. For a downward trend, the
trader just needs a binary “Put” option to secure his position.
It
should be noted that futures contracts expire on a monthly basis but
with binary options, traders have the opportunity to buy a binary option
with a time period as short as 5 minutes slot and 15 minutes slots. In
this sense, Binary Options are the perfect alternatives to traditional financial instruments for volatile markets like the commodities and Forex markets.
Although relatively simpler than Vanilla options, to profit from using binary options
from an uncertain financial market, a trader will still need to
undertake a binary option trading strategy to help him make the correct
market determination. In this chapter, we will cover some of the basic
strategies which binary options which binary options traders can employ
to help them with their investment decisions.
Minimizing Losses and Maximizing Gains
One successful binary options trading strategy used by traders involve the use of both a “Call” and “Put” option on a traded underlying asset. The aim is to maximize profits and minimize losses at the same time. Nevertheless, certain market conditions must be fulfilled before one can apply this strategy.
For example, let us assume that you purchase
a one day call option for an underlying asset with a strike price of
$50.00. Let us further assume that after a few hours the underlying
asset price had increased to $51.50. This would mean that your
investment is presently in the money. All things considered, such an
increase is a good upward tick for just a few hours (a 3% jump). At this
point of time, you might want to consider buying a put option to lock
in your profits. This maneuver is to protect you in the event the
underlying asset price will drop or level off at this point.
You
have to invest in the same amount of put option as you did for your
call options. By doing so, you double your profits if the underlying
asset price continue to rise. And if the price drops below $51.50, you
would have minimized your loss as your put option expires in the money
to offset the amount that you lost on the call option. The same strategy
is also applicable for a downward trend market.
TOOLS OR INDICATORS FOR BINARY OPTION TRADING STRATEGY:
• Support And Resistance Lines
Support and resistance lines are one of the most helpful tools for binary options traders for discerning whether the market is on a downward trend or upward trend.
• Technical indicators in binary options trading
Technical indicators are useful in helping to predict the fluctuations in the market for the short term period as they are widely adopted by traders all over the world. They actually help to create the momentum in the market because everybody is the market are buying into the market based on these technical indicators. Some of the popular technical indicators used by traders include:
o Bollinger Bands
o Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD) o Stochastic Analysis
Actually the number of binary options trading
strategies that can be adopted by a trader can be substantial. The key
toward successful trading is to adopt what is right for your style as we
are all individuals with different personalities. As with Forex
trading, there must be discipline and a consistent approach towards
trading in the volatile financial markets to come out ahead of the game.
