Binary Options | Broker | Trading Review

Before I go any further, I should say right off the bat I am compensated for referrals to binary option broker EZTrader. Make of that what you will but I will say this: I get referrals because people like what EZTrader offers, not because of any smoke I blow where the sun don't shine.

Here's what is to like about using the EZTrader platform:

1. EZTrader frequently offers bonus cash on new deposits (not only on new accounts)
   
   • allows newbies to trade with EZTrader money before committing their own capital
   • Traders can buy in again and get more EZTrader money to start
   • The bonus cash ultimately becomes yours
2. Trades are "fire and forget" - hit the execute button and go get some coffee
3. Yields vary between 60%-75%
4. Binary option contracts expire either hourly or at the end of the day
5. Binary option contracts are for fixed dollar amounts
6. Some contracts offer some return of capital even when out of the money
7. The EZtrader interface is ridiculously simple to use

Honestly - the biggest difference between EZTrader and Tradesmarter is the bonus cash.

What do I mean?

Consider that Tradesmarter is doing a holiday offering of $100 bonus cash on a new account, whereas typically EZTrader bonus cash weekly offers range from $150 to $300 on a new deposit. Huge difference. Huge.

Before I go any further, I am compensated for referrals to binary option broker StartOptions (now TradeSmarter - an Australian regulated binary options broker). Make of that what you will. Recent changes to their trading platform have made this portion of the comparison obsolete. See our NEW review of binary options broker StartOptions.

Here's what is to like about using the StartOptions platform:

1. StartOptions offers a variety of "pre-canned" trading positions
   • allows a wider variety of set positions
   • Double no-touch, Single no-touch, Straight Binary (or Digital Options)
2. Trades are "fire and forget" - hit the execute button and go get some coffee
3. Yields vary around 70%
4. Binary option contracts expire either hourly or at the end of the day
5. Binary option contracts are for fixed dollar amounts
6. Simple interface
7. StartOptions offers a demo account
   • Allows users to learn interface while using "play money"
8. StartOptions parent Tradesmarter is Australian Securities industry regulated

1. Limited number of securities traded
   • At last look six cross pairs
   • seven US securities
   • three metals
   • ZERO foreign securities
   • ZERO Indexes (DJIA, Nasdaq, etc.)
2. StartOptions has a Demo Video which is a cartoon that demonstrates NOTHING (since pulled down)
3. Smaller bonus cash

StartOptions now offers a nice selection of foreign securities including some Chinese stock options you'll find nowhere else - but be forewarned - they do NOT accept US Residents as clients.
