Geo they allow 5% of total investment per trade 15% max per session. If a
breakaway from a successivey reacurring high point gives you 85% chance of
always winning and you invest always 5% of total investment isn't that an
average return of at least 50% of every trade made?
Christ's love!

Your arithmetic may be better than mine, but I wonder about the breakaway
having an 85% chance of winning.
I wouldn't join any such scheme. Even if it isn't a scam, ask yourself why
they are running a paid scheme and not just gambling themselves.

Back in the 80s, paid newsletters started up tipping various shares. Fine -
until the crash.

There's some information here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_option

I'm surprised that "exchange traded" binary options are legitimate.
Derivatives should (IMO) at least be based on having some tangible
benefit to the market / economy. For example, "normal" futures markets
(currency, commodities etc etc) are there primarily to be used to hedge
/against/ risk. That they can be /abused/ by punters to gamble is an
unavoidable side effect. When it gets out of hand so that the gamblers'
influence on the market exceeds that of those seeking to use derivatives
to hedge, then markets can fail.
Exchange traded binary options don't seem to have any underlying purpose
except to gamble.
