Hello,
Does anyone here have experience with Nadex? If so, what are the advantages and disadvantages? under what circumstances is it better than regular trading? In what situations is it less effective?
Thanks
The CFTC and SEC have received numerous complaints of fraud associated with websites that offer an opportunity to buy or trade binary options through Internet-based trading platforms. The complaints fall into at least three categories: refusal to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds to customers; identity theft; and manipulation of software to generate losing trades, plus others.
These schemes from binary option markets include some or all the following;
Refusing to credit customer accounts,
Denying fund reimbursement,
Identity theft,
Manipulation of software to generate losing trades.
Misleading return payouts
Bonus structures and other practices that are meant to entice more funds from clients and make it more difficult to withdrawal them
Not Being Registered with the CFTC/SEC and offering contracts to US Citizens
Note: Nadex is registered with the CFTC and NFA
The CFTC warns folks about fraud and binary options;

Nadex seems to have a "clean" record with the NFA. To wit;

Plenty on the Internet about the pros and cons of Binary Options.
I don't see myself ever trading them. I'm an S&P 500 E-mini kind of guy. ESU5 weekly options currently. I know nothing about binary options except, apparently, it's an on/off, win/lose, 0/1 proposition. Akin to playing craps in Vegas and, as in the case of all casino games, the binary dealers seem to always have the edge.
Do you homework first before sending a check.
