Binary options - how to improve

[SunTrader]

Ok I found my new niche...touch or no touch options. This is catered to directional traders...imagine you got full profits if your long call strike got touched at any time prior to expiry. No time decay, no premium to over come, or spread or fees either.

So you make a profit, the exchange does as well therefore doesn't that mean the loser loses double? IOW for every dollar you make they lose two all things being equal?

None of these bucket shops have touches. They only offer digitals unless you can somehow access deriv.com.

You lose your initial investment like with any options. the exchange takes their portion and you get the remaining payout...which is shown as a percentage when placing the trade. The payout is determined by the likelyhood of the touch or no touch happening in the duration. Basically it is similar to regular options, but you choose the strike and duration, and the parameters of the trade...like flex options. You think big hedge funds are bound by all the restrictions put on you when you buy an options contract? Heck no, they create their own parameters...such as touch or no touch for instance. Wouldn't you guys jump at the chance to trade options without fees, spreads, time decay or premiums? Well binaries are where it's at.

All of the EU and

"The current list of (“Restricted Countries”), including Alderney, Belarus, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Israel, Jersey, Jordan, Malaysia, Malta, Rwanda, Paraguay, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, The United States of America, or any country that has been identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as having strategic deficiencies."

One can open an account in the EU but just cfd and multipliers, no exotic.

For sure all of EU ? Both west and east/central countries ?

I think so. Sounds like a regulatory limit.
Deriv info are confusing because website is tailored by geolocation and you can still open an account from anywhere, what you can trade changes. They don't really tell you what's not possible, but just what's available for you. First question they ask in the chat is where are you from.
