    Tips To Start Trading Binary Options

    Binary options are an easy investment method. Beginners can quickly understand this trading style and accurately calculate risks and chances. Forex and crypto assets are possible targets for base values when trading binary options. Here, you can combine the profitable nature of currency markets with the simple trading method. If you want to make use of these benefits, you need to understand what you are dealing with first.

    What exactly are binary options, and how do you get started with trading them?

    What Is a Binary Option, and How Can I Make Money?

    Binary options trading is a trading method where you speculate using derivates. These derivates are colloquially known as binary options. When you are trading with derivates, you select a regular stock market asset, like a cryptocurrency. Your derivate will then copy the market movements of this base asset.

    When trading binary options, your goal is to accurately speculate whether the value of this base asset will have risen or fallen on an expiration date of your choice compared to the strike price at the beginning of the trade.

    When your speculation was correct, you receive a 75 % to 95 % payout, depending on the trade amount and the trading platform you use.

    • This article will give you an overview over the topic of binary options trading. Additionally, you can find many resources to help you get started with trading binary options online. For example, this is a trading guide for beginners that will teach you the basics of binary options trading in more detail.

    Is Binary Trading Profitable?

    Binary trading can be very profitable when you know what you are doing. With the right amount of market analysis, risk management, and background knowledge, you can make informed and promising decisions.

    Thanks to the typically short trade durations, you most likely won’t gain big amounts with singular trades, but can quickly amass winnings from multiple trades.

    Binary options trading also allows the use of leverage. Here, you only pay a small percentage of the total trade amount. The broker pays for the rest. The winnings are calculated using the total trade amount and not the smaller investment you made. This can make accurate binary options speculations incredible profitable.

    • It is important to note that the money you lose with a wrong prediction will also be calculated using the total trade value. In this case, you typically own the lost money to the broker who advanced the majority of the funds for the trade. This means you can lose much more money that you invested and can afford to lose.

    How Do Binary Options Works

    Some people compare binary options trading to gambling. With the right amount of background knowledge, however, you won’t be leaving your fate up to luck. Still, trading binary options is comparatively easy to betting on a coin toss, because it too has a binary outcome with two possible results.

    • You select a base asset and an expiration date, and speculate whether the market value will have risen or fallen in the time between the beginning and end of the trade.

    Once the expiration date arrives, you will either lose or win 100%.

    Since the percentages for the payout are pre-determined, you can exactly calculate how much money you win or lose in either of the instances.

    • Depending on the asset and broker you picked, you receive between 75 % and 95 % of the total trade amount as a payout for accurate predictions.

    How To Trade Binary Options – A Guide for Beginners

    Here are basic tips for trading binary options that will help you get started as a beginner:

    Learn Binary Options Basics

    The risk of trading in general can be reduced if you know what you are doing and aren’t just guessing without any facts to back your speculations up. The more you know about the markets, assets, trading methods and co., the better.

    • You can find many helpful informational resources and analysis tools online. Typically, a broker will include data that you can use to make informed decisions in their service. 
    • Additionally, experienced traders often share their trading strategies online to help you copy their successful trades.
    • Another option are seminars and classes on trading.

    Weigh the Opportunities and Risks

    Any kind of trading should be accompanied by proper risk assessment and management. You are betting your real-life money, and uncontrolled losses can ruin your finances. To avoid bankruptcy, you always need no have an eye on your capital and how much you can afford to lose.

    Some trades are riskier than others. The market knowledge and analysis you can amass and perform will help you figure out which trades are more secure than others.

    Some rules of thumb for risk management are:

    • Start out with investing a maximum of 1 % to 2 % of your total capital. More experienced traders can risk up to 5 %.
    • No trade is 100 % secure. Even if all signs point to a promising trade, real-life events can influence the market unexpectedly.
    • Set up a diverse portfolio to spread the risk. You can counter high-risk investments with more secure trades on the side.

    Find a Binary Broker

    You require a trading platform to trade binary options online. There are many brokers who offer websites and apps for trading. Not every broker has the same service scope. Some might only offer access to limited markets, while others have different features to help their users trade.

    For binary options trading, you will need to look for a specialized binary options broker. Binary options are typically not traded over the national stock exchanges, but use separate exchanges and marketplaces.

    • Make sure the broker of your choice offers binary options as a trading method or asset type.

    You should also look at user reviews and the licensing. Financial authorities regulate trustworthy brokers to weed out scams. A licensed broker was tested and is monitored by these authorities and is safe to use. 

    • Note that not all countries allow binary trading for private investors. If your country does not provide licenses to binary options brokers, you can look for offshore brokers with trustworthy foreign licensing.

    Try a Demo Account

    A good broker service offers a free demo account. Here you can trade with a fake virtual currency and the full features of the trading platform. Since you are not betting real money, you can try out the broker and trading strategies without exposure to real market risks.

    The Best Binary Trading Strategies for Beginners

    Look for binary trading strategies online. Many of them will teach you how effective risk management and market analysis work. Using these methods, you are more likely to imitate the successful trades of other investors.

    Don’t Get Greedy

    An important part of risk management in trading is to set up limits for yourself. Trading can quickly carry you away when you succeed or want to compensate losses. One helpful limit is the ‘invest max. 5 % of your capital’ rule. Another good idea is to schedule specific hours for trades. A bit of discipline is necessary to stick to these limits.

    Conclusion

    Binary trading is a simple trading method that allows you to calculate exact payouts or losses for your trades. With the right amount of background knowledge, market analysis, and risk management, even beginners can use this strategy to gain revenue. The use of leverage allows even bigger payouts for those who can carry the additional risk.

    To trade binary options, you need a specialized online broker with access to binary trading markets. Make sure to look at user reviews and licenses to find a high-quality, trustworthy service.  

  • Dogecoin Price Jumps +10% After Musk Agrees $44 Billion Twitter Deal Is Back On Table

    Dogecoin Price Jumps +10% After Musk Agrees $44 Billion Twitter Deal Is Back On Table

    Key takeaways:

    • Dogecoin surged +10% after the latest development in the Elon Musk-Twitter saga
    • According to recently filed documents, Musk will end up buying Twitter, backtracking earlier efforts to quit the deal
    • SpaceX and Tesla founder has previously floated the idea of accepting DOGE payments on Twitter

    Tesla founder backtracks his efforts to avoid the Twitter acquisition deal

    Documents filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday show that Tesla founder Elon Musk is backtracking his earlier efforts to quit the deal to buy social media giant Twitter at $54.20 a share. 

    It is widely believed that Musk is doing so to avoid an expensive and contentious lawsuit the tech billionaire would likely lose. Recall that Musk accused Twitter of lying about the number of bots that are on the platform earlier this year, and used that to try and avoid paying more than $44 billion for the social platform, a deal he agreed to in April. Bloomberg reported yesterday that bot-related claims, even if true, probably wouldn’t stand in a court of law. 

    Musk, who is known to share his thoughts with his more than 107 million strong Twitter following, has so far made no comments regarding the latest development in the multi-billion dollar deal. 

    Yet again, Dogecoin price pumps on Musk news

    As we’ve seen on numerous occasions in the past, Dogecoin (DOGE), Musk’s self-admitted favorite cryptocurrency, rallied on the news. The price of Dogecoin increased from $0.0606 to a multi-week high of $0.0666 on Wednesday. It has since retraced a bit and is changing hands at $0.0635 at press time.

    DOGE’s price saw a straight line looking rally following the latest Twitter news on Tuesday.

    Dogecoin, jokingly referred to by some members of the crypto community as “Musk news ETF” due to its inclination to respond to virtually every Musk-related news with volatile price movement, is currently trading more than 90% removed from its all-time high. 

    It is worth noting that Musk floated the idea of using DOGE as a payment currency in April, at the time when the Twitter deal was initially agreed on. There is precedent for that happening once Musk takes over, as Tesla, for instance, did start accepting DOGE for merchandise products earlier his year.

  • Blockchain Twitter App Launches to Bring Decentralized Social to the Masses

    Blockchain Twitter App Launches to Bring Decentralized Social to the Masses

    Los Angeles, CA, 5th October, 2022, Chainwire

    Takeaways:

    • A novel web3 social platform called Diamond is launching on DeSo, a new blockchain that has raised $200 million from Coinbase, Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz.
    • Diamond is the first product ever to enable all posts, profiles, social graphs, and content to be hosted on a decentralized censorship-resistant blockchain.
    • Posts on Diamond can be minted as NFTs, earn crypto tips, and other novel features. 

    Today, content is hosted on centralized platforms like Twitter, TikTok, or Instagram. Many thought leaders like Elon Musk and even Twitter founder Jack Dorsey call for an alternative.

    Recently, messages emerged between the two billionaire entrepreneurs regarding a blockchain-based social media platform.

    “I have an idea for a blockchain social media system that does both payments and short text messages/links like Twitter.” Said Elon Musk in one text exchange.
    He continued, “Third piece is a twitter-like app on your phone that accesses the database in the cloud. This could be massive.”

    However, Musk may not need to create a decentralized Twitter alternative thanks to the launch of Diamond, a Web3 social app powered by the DeSo blockchain.

    Diamond is the first platform ever to host its content and social graph on a decentralized blockchain.

    By publishing content to the DeSo chain, writers, and creators can own and control their content the same way they own and control their Bitcoin. This means they can be free from censorship and gain new ways to monetize that have never been possible before.

    For example, posts on Diamond can be minted as NFTs, can earn crypto tips, and much more. Creators on Diamond can very easily launch social tokens that allow their followers to invest in their success. All with an onboarding that is as easy as creating an account on a web2 platform like Instagram.

    Diamond’s choice to use the DeSo blockchain for hosting all of its content showcases DeSo’s unique strength in content storage. “Existing blockchains cannot store content efficiently,” says Nader Al-Naji, the founder of DeSo. “It costs about $50 to store a 200-character Tweet on Ethereum, and about fifteen cents to store it on Solana, Avalanche, or Polygon. In contrast, DeSo is one ten-thousandth of a cent, making it the first blockchain capable of disrupting storage-heavy applications like social, blogging, and even marketplaces,” he says.

    In addition, Diamond’s integration of the DeSo wallet makes it possible to onboard Ethereum 

    users as well as mainstream users. “The DeSo wallet supports both a one-click Google login and a one-click MetaMask login,” says Al-Naji. “It’s not our goal to be tied to a single chain, or really any chain. We just want to allow people to connect with each other no matter what ecosystem they’re a part of. DeSo is the unified social layer for all of web3,” he says.

    This is the latest in a recent string of successes for DeSo. The platform listed on Coinbase earlier this year announced a groundbreaking MetaMask integration last week that has caused a significant price surge. It has also been experiencing a recent surge in user numbers.

    In a world where many are dissatisfied with traditional social media, Diamond and DeSo offer a decentralized solution that can finally compete with web2 juggernauts. “DeSo is the first and only blockchain that allows developers to build social apps where you can’t even tell you’re on a blockchain,” says Al-Naji. “That means, for the first time, we have a shot at finally expanding web3 from disrupting finance to disrupting the trillion-dollar social media industry.”

    About DeSo Foundation

    DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media and scale storage-heavy applications to billions of users. They raised $200 million and are backed by Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Social Capital, Polychain Capital, Winkelvoss Capital, Pantera, and others.

    $DESO, the native currency of the DeSo blockchain, is listed on Coinbase.

  • Talent Protocol supports the next generation of builders through the acquisition of Agora Labs

    Talent Protocol supports the next generation of builders through the acquisition of Agora Labs

    Lisbon, Portugal, 5th October, 2022, Chainwire

    Talent Protocol, the web3 professional community for high-potential builders, has acquired Agora Labs, a social token and NFT infrastructure platform for creators to build and scale their communities. The acquisition will not only integrate Agora’s tech stack and community into Talent Protocol, but also onboard its young talented founders, Matthew Espinoza (CEO) and Freeman (CTO) into the team. 

    Despite being only a year old, Talent Protocol saw this acquisition opportunity as another way of working towards its mission of supporting the builders of tomorrow. The startup – founded by Pedro Oliveira, Filipe Macedo and Andreas Vilela – has been actively enabling ways of empowering talented tech professionals who have an entrepreneurial mindset and are curious to explore web3. 

    “Agora Labs’ mission and team fits perfectly with what we are building in Talent Protocol. In a very short time, Agora’s talented team has created tools and infrastructure that serve several of the needs of tokenized creators and that is something we found truly remarkable and relevant for our own community”, Pedro Oliveira, co-founder and CEO of Talent Protocol, explains. “Talent Protocol and Agora Labs’ paths crossed earlier this year and when we saw the opportunity to join efforts, we took it”, he adds.

    Agora Labs was founded in 2021 by Matthew Espinoza, Freeman Zhang, Jerry Di and Charles Nyabeze, all teenage builders who took the leap from their careers and founded their own Web3 company. The little over one-year journey led to this acquisition by Talent Protocol which will welcome 20-year-old Matthew (CEO) and 19-year-old Freeman (CTO) to its team and support their early but valuable careers. 

    “The Web3 space is all about community and collaboration. We see the integration of Agora’s assets and team members as a way of achieving collective success for all parties involved”, Filipe Macedo, co-founder and CMO of Talent Protocol, comments.

    Over 150,000 users already joined Talent Protocol to create a professional profile, make meaningful connections and access exciting opportunities. Members are also able to launch a token for their careers, transforming loose connections into invested supporters. A Talent Protocol account gives priority access to scholarships, opportunities, mentors and a community that can help you succeed in web3. 

    “The world of work is changing but our professional networks are decades old. Most are cringe-worthy and out-of-touch places unable to represent the next generation of builders and support their career growth.”, Filipe Macedo explains, “Agora Labs was also unlocking web3 opportunities for builders and creators, that’s why it made total sense to join forces, while also supporting the professional journeys of its talented founders.”

    “From day one it was clear that Talent Protocol was the ideal company to acquire us. From the beginning of our conversations to signing the deal, they always had our best interests at heart and I truly resonated with their mission and culture”, Matthew Espinoza from Agora Labs, adds.

    About Talent Protocol

    Talent Protocol is the web3 professional community where anyone can discover high-potential builders and invest in their careers. 💫

    Since November 2021, more than 150,000 users have registered to create a web3 professional profile, launch a Talent Token and kick off their collective career journey.

    About Agora Labs

    Agora Labs is a creator-focused platform built on the DeSo blockchain, providing tokenized creators with the necessary infrastructures to build and scale their web3 communities. 

    The platform has been consistently one of the top-ranked dapps on the DeSo blockchain, reaching over $500k in market cap within 24 hours of launching, and has received backing from the DeSo foundation, and Harmony Protocol.

    The 4th Edition of Connected Banking Summit – Innovation and Excellence Awards 2022 Lead Sponsor Microsoft

    How Digital and Modern banking services are changing the financial services sector in Africa

    By Phyllis Migwi, Country Manager, Microsoft Kenya

    The digital revolution is changing how banking gets done. Every bank is eager to evolve, using secure and compliant technology to fundamentally reimagine their business. This is innovation with real impact: changing customer expectations, meeting complex regulations, dealing with new competitors, combating cyber threats, and inspiring a productive workforce. 

    Maintaining a competitive edge and differentiation means understanding customer needs and adapting to market trends while reaching the under-served and the unbanked. The goal for every financial services organization is to create loyal fans, not just customers, by delivering true value through personalized experiences. 

    For financial service organizations, the focus must be on driving and empowering digital transformation across their organizations end-to-end with a holistic viewpoint, embracing tech intensity rather than focusing on specific digital products and tools. 

    Empowering modern banking

    There are a number of key trends driving the evolution of the financial services sector. The expanding power of FinTechs and big tech, along with evolving customer experience expectations are two important trends, while increased regulation is constraining growth and adding costs. Legacy systems are impeding innovation and transformation, while the growing threat of cyber crime is a challenge the industry must tackle head on. 

    Customers are leveraging digital engagement channels more than ever, and in response, financial services organisations are seeking to deliver differentiated customer experiences. The rise in adoption of digital banking products during the pandemic has driven banks to expedite their digital transformation agendas. 

    Digital-forward banks are leading the way

    FinTechs have had an agile approach to digitalization, and this is now influencing how enterprise organisations are approaching their digitalisation. Many financial institutions aim to grow responsibly and deepen their customer relationships by delivering differentiated customer experiences. Digital-forward banks are leading the way when it comes to investing in digital experienced for offerings such as lending. Transforming the financial services landscape will help drive economic prosperity continent-wide and will make financial services more accessible to the under-banked and previously unbanked.

    The pandemic has accelerated digital adoption addressing current needs while balancing for the long term. Financial services organizations have chosen cloud services to drive digital transformation because of the ability to speed up deployment, lower complexity and manage upfront investment. The ability to accelerate innovation to drive down costs is critical to success.

    Ecosystem Banking – focus on the experience, not the product

    As part of the need for differentiating new experiences, risk management, and compliance, the financial services industry is seeing the shift towards open and interconnected ecosystems through modernization of core platforms including payments and core banking systems. Banking and payments are becoming more open environments than ever before, with customers benefitting from a huge range of new and useful products. 

    This is enabled by Banking as a Service (BaaS), which offers an ecosystem in which licensed financial institutions integrate their banking services directly into the products of non-bank businesses. Connected BaaS provides the ability to manage an ecosystem of partners from recruitment, licensing, partnering and referrals.

    BaaS built in the Cloud enables security, compliance and governance fully enabled, integrated and automated seamlessly across the entire services platform. BaaS removes many of the barriers that businesses previously faced when trying to launch or integrate financial products and unlocks banking.

    A trusted platform is the foundation for running financial services in the cloud, and organizations that continuously develop to stay at the forefront of technology will become the digital leaders of the future and maintain their competitive edge.

    The FSI industry must adopt stringent compliance and security measures

    The industry is experiencing a level of regulatory scrutiny that is unprecedented in its intensity. Financial institutions that best manage their regulatory and compliance data will be on a path to stronger risk management and improved operational efficiency. And while financial institutions want new innovations to deliver better value to customers, they will not make the cut unless they are operating within appropriate compliance constructs.

    To create a safer world empowered by digital transformation, Microsoft adheres to the strictest security and privacy standards in the industry to in turn enable financial sector to manage its data footprint and create its own governance. Microsoft’s cybersecurity strategy utilises massive amounts of machine learning, data analytics to detect and respond to anomalous behaviour from inside and outside the organisation.

    Choosing the right technology partner in this process of digitalisation is crucial 

    Organisations in the financial services sector are innovating to complete their digitisation through platform modernisation, digital client engagement and digital employee enablement. 

    Financial institutions need a mature provider of financial service platforms to enable a modern banking ecosystem with a focus on reducing end-to-end and capital expenditure while leveraging technology. These institutions benefit from having a partner who will provide them with industry advisory, digital advisory and who will partner with them in the process of moving from being a legacy traditional financial services organisation to one that is digitally focused. 

    At Microsoft, understanding the financial services industry’s needs and objectives is very important to us. We want to ensure that every organization has the digital capability required to succeed going forward and are committed to helping our financial services customers improve time to value, reduce costs, increase agility, and accelerate innovation for sustainable growth.

  • Swiss data and analytics service Nuant prepares for the Q4 launch of the first unified platform for digital asset data, analytics & portfolio intelligence

    Swiss data and analytics service Nuant prepares for the Q4 launch of the first unified platform for digital asset data, analytics & portfolio intelligence

    Zug, Switzerland, 5th October, 2022, Chainwire

    Swiss-based digital asset data and analytics Fintech, Nuant, is launching a platform that solves a critical industry-wide portfolio management problem for institutional funds invested in digital assets: namely data fragmentation from exchange accounts, on-chain wallets, custodial wallets, on-chain data and market data by providing a single unified hub to manage, monitor and make accurate data-driven investment decisions for digital asset portfolios. For the first time, funds will now have access to accurate on-chain and market data, metrics, analytics and compliance tools for all current holdings as well as potential new assets into a portfolio, in one place, in real-time.

    The new service, which is targeted at digital asset portfolio managers, analysts, researchers and data scientists, will provide a single dashboard and tools for portfolio management, analytics, research, and compliance. Through seamless integration of cryptocurrency wallets, custody solutions and exchange accounts married to integrated on-chain and market data, Nuant will allow users to gain a comprehensive overview of their entire digital asset portfolio, regardless of where assets are managed and stored.

    Founded in the Swiss Crypto Valley in March 2021 by a leadership team that spans the finance, technology, digital asset, and quantitative research sectors, Nuant has developed a number of proprietary capabilities specifically tailored to digital asset portfolio analytics. These include its own on-chain data and insights service, providing curated insights for decision support, as well as a data query engine to rapidly interrogate and analyze on-chain data in addition to dedicated tools to examine specific wallets or tokens for compliance or risk management purposes.

    In addition, Nuant has developed its own domain-specific language, Nuant Query Language (NQL), which significantly reduces the time and code needed to execute custom queries and calls, allowing clients to rapidly build, prototype, backtest, stress test, and deploy their own proprietary analytics and strategies to find that desired alpha. These proprietary technologies along with Nuant’s own on-chain data service are combined with off-chain market data from leading providers to offer 360-degree visibility of the digital asset market.   

    “Successful investment management starts with accurately understanding the market, its risks and opportunities, which is where accurate data and intelligence play a crucial role. And unlike the traditional markets, the digital asset market has some very unique characteristics that require a very specialized lens to fully understand them. For example, the vast amount of data that is required to generate actionable alpha is very challenging to extract, process and leverage”, Nuant’s co-founder & CEO Rachid Ajaja explained. “Nuant offers the complete range of data, metrics, analytics, insights, and applications truly needed to identify risks and market opportunities”.

    Nuant’s Chief Revenue Officer Stuart Petersen added: “For far too long, institutional professionals in the cryptocurrency space have been forced to rely on a patchwork of disparate platforms, data services, self-managed connectivity to their accounts and wallets, their own Excel sheets, formulas and analytics to gain even the most basic understanding of the market value of a portfolio. Most funds have not even begun to think about the additional data, analytics and tools required to actively manage portfolios and gain those valuable insights that highlight risk and uncover opportunities in an operationally robust and cost-efficient manner. Nuant offers that unified platform to assess the risk and performance of all existing holdings, and gain real-time actionable intelligence to drive future decisions.”

    Nuant expects to onboard the first customers onto its SaaS platform towards the end of 2022.

    About Nuant

    1inch Partners With Unstoppable Domains

    The partnership will allow 1inch Wallet users to perform transactions in a more user-friendly way by replacing complex addresses with domain names. 

    Driven by a mission to encourage mass adoption of DeFi products through improving user experience, the 1inch Network is thrilled to announce a partnership with Unstoppable Domains, an NFT domain name provider and digital identity platform. Thanks to the partnership, 1inch Wallet users will appreciate a new feature enabling them to enter human-readable domain names when buying or sending crypto assets, just so they can perform transactions more easily. 

    Previously, users had to interact with lengthy alphameric crypto wallet addresses. From now on, they will enjoy the new option of replacing those complex addresses with straightforward names. 

    Where do these names come from? Once purchased, the crypto wallet address name, provided by Unstoppable Domains, belongs to its holder forever since it is minted as an NFT on the blockchain with no minting and no renewal fees. An NFT domain can be more than a payment address for wallets, providing a universal decentralized digital identity and serving as a unique username across apps and platforms. When creating usernames for crypto, users have a great choice between different endings like NFT, Wallet, Crypto, X, DAO etc.

    So, in order to transact with crypto, the 1inch Wallet users will now enter an address name looking like Andy.wallet or Money.crypto or any other creative yet simple word combination chosen as a user domain. Such domains also increase transaction security by thorough address checking and preventing sending errors. 

    1inch always strives to improve the user’s transaction experience, among other things, by collaborations with cutting-edge DeFi projects. In line with this strategy, the usability of sending or receiving crypto doubles within the 1inch Wallet using domain resolution. 

    “The issues of user experience, security and identity are still holding back Web3 mainstream adoption,” says Sergej Kunz, 1inch Network co-founder. “The partnership with Unstoppable opens up opportunities for overcoming these barriers by making Web3 onboarding more fun and attractive, while users will also benefit from a user-friendlier way of transacting,” he adds. 

    “The 1inch wallet is a DeFi lover’s dream, and Unstoppable is helping make it even easier for DeFi enthusiasts to manage their finances and own their identity on Web3,” said Sandy Carter, SVP and Channel Chief at Unstoppable Domains. “We’re thrilled to partner with 1inch to make transacting with, accessing and buying crypto simpler and more intuitive than ever.”

    Founded in 2018 and considered to be among America’s Best Startup Employers in 2022, according to Forbes, Unstoppable Domains is the number one provider for NFT domains. With a mission of facilitating Web3 navigation, it provides handling digital identities and creates understandable crypto domain names.
