For 19 out of the last 20 quarters, Nadex has seen quarterly increases in volume and total trades. The quarter ending August 31, 2016 reported over 37 percent growth in trade volume and over 53 percent growth in total trades of binary options compared to Q3 2015. This continued growth shows there is a demand for limited-risk alternatives to conventional trading. Nadex offers individual traders attractive low fees, low minimum opening balance and guaranteed limited risk on exchange-traded binary options and spreads.
Retail traders are realizing the importance of trading binary options on a CFTC-regulated exchange as opposed to illegal offshore vendors. Nadex has emerged as a leading CFTC-regulated exchange offering both binary options as well as spreads on multiple instruments.
“We’re no longer just trying to introduce the concept of limited-risk trading,” said Nadex CEO Timothy McDermott. “People are aware of it. Now our job is to get them asking, ‘If I can trade the same markets with limited risk on a CFTC regulated exchange - with lower fees and capital requirements - why not?’ Frankly, we hope everyone starts asking that question.”
Nadex is the first and largest CFTC-regulated online exchange in the US. Traders can utilize Nadex’ online and mobile platforms to trade short-term price movements in the most heavily traded currency, commodity and stock indices markets. The trades are a low-cost, limited risk opportunity to trade five-minute, 20-minute, hourly, daily and weekly contracts. Member funds are segregated and held in top-tier US banks.
Apex Investing Institute is designed for traders to help traders learn the ins and outs of trading. At apexinvesting.com, all traders are free to utilize the intuitive binary and spread scanners to make trading Nadex easier with fast and accurate execution. By applying filters, the markets and parameters are simple to see and use in order to help you place your trade. No need flipping back and forth between screens to find the best contracts. It is all right before you. The images below provide visuals of the layouts for both the binary option scanner and the spread scanner.
On the spread scanner, it is easy to locate the contract listed down the center. Off to the right is all the information needed if you are looking for a BUY and on the left, is the SELL information. If you have a strategy you are setting up and need to find two spreads (one buy, one sell) with a combined profit potential of $35 or more, by simply checking the Risk/Reward columns on both sides, you can easily see if any are available. As long as you are logged into your Nadex account, right on the scanner, you can click on the ticket icon next to the bid or offer price, a Nadex ticket will pop up and you can enter the trade.
The binary scanner is similar to the spread scanner. Again, the contracts are listed down the center, with the BUY information on the right and the SELL information on the left. The different expiration times are also shown. On the far left of this image, you can see where the different filter items can be entered. Nadex offers many different markets. When trading, you may only be looking for selling contracts, so you could specify that on the filter. Perhaps you only want trades that expire in the next 20 minutes. You can enter that information on the filter. There are many possibilities to aid you in your trading.
