A binary option is a financial exotic option in which the payoff is either some fixed monetary amount or nothing at all. The former pays some fixed amount of cash if the option expires in-the-money while the latter pays the value of the underlying security. While binary options may be used in theoretical asset pricing, they are prone to fraud in their applications and hence banned by regulators in many jurisdictions as a form of gambling.

FBI is investigating binary option scams throughout the world, and the Israeli police have tied the industry to criminal syndicates. On January 30, , Facebook banned advertisements for binary options trading as well as for cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings ICOs.

Binary options "are based on a simple 'yes' or 'no' proposition: Will an underlying asset be above a certain price at a certain time? If a customer believes the price of an underlying asset will be above a certain price at a set time, the trader buys the binary option, but if he or she believes it will be below that price, they sell the option.

In the U. Investopedia described the binary options trading process in the U. If at p. This is called being "in the money". This is called being "out of the money". The bid and offer fluctuate until the option expires. You can close your position at any time before expiry to lock in a profit or a reduce a loss compared to letting it expire out of the money. In the online binary options industry, where the contracts are sold by a broker to a customer in an OTC manner, a different option pricing model is used.

Brokers sell binary options at a fixed price e. Some brokers, also offer a sort of out-of-money reward to a losing customer. On non-regulated platforms, client money is not necessarily kept in a trust account, as required by government financial regulation , and transactions are not monitored by third parties in order to ensure fair play. Binary options are often considered a form of gambling rather than investment because of their negative cumulative payout the brokers have an edge over the investor and because they are advertised as requiring little or no knowledge of the markets.

Gordon Pape, writing in Forbes. com in , called binary options websites "gambling sites, pure and simple", and said "this sort of thing can quickly become addictive no one, no matter how knowledgeable, can consistently predict what a stock or commodity will do within a short time frame". Pape observed that binary options are poor from a gambling standpoint as well because of the excessive "house edge".

Let's say you make 1, "trades" and win of them. In other words, you must win The U. Commodity Futures Trading Commission warns that "some binary options Internet-based trading platforms may overstate the average return on investment by advertising a higher average return on investment than a customer should expect given the payout structure. In the Black—Scholes model , the price of the option can be found by the formulas below.

This pays out one unit of cash if the spot is above the strike at maturity. Its value now is given by. This pays out one unit of cash if the spot is below the strike at maturity. This pays out one unit of asset if the spot is above the strike at maturity. This pays out one unit of asset if the spot is below the strike at maturity.

Its value now is given by:. call is worth exactly one unit. The price of a cash-or-nothing American binary put resp. The above follows immediately from expressions for the Laplace transform of the distribution of the conditional first passage time of Brownian motion to a particular level.

Similarly, paying out 1 unit of the foreign currency if the spot at maturity is above or below the strike is exactly like an asset-or nothing call and put respectively. The Black—Scholes model relies on symmetry of distribution and ignores the skewness of the distribution of the asset.

The skew matters because it affects the binary considerably more than the regular options. A binary call option is, at long expirations, similar to a tight call spread using two vanilla options. Thus, the value of a binary call is the negative of the derivative of the price of a vanilla call with respect to strike price:. Skew is typically negative, so the value of a binary call is higher when taking skew into account.

Since a binary call is a mathematical derivative of a vanilla call with respect to strike, the price of a binary call has the same shape as the delta of a vanilla call, and the delta of a binary call has the same shape as the gamma of a vanilla call. Many binary option "brokers" have been exposed as fraudulent operations.

Manipulation of price data to cause customers to lose is common. Withdrawals are regularly stalled or refused by such operations; if a client has good reason to expect a payment, the operator will simply stop taking their phone calls. On 23 March , The European Securities and Markets Authority , a European Union financial regulatory institution and European Supervisory Authority located in Paris, agreed to new temporary rules prohibiting the marketing, distribution or sale of binary options to retail clients.

On September 19, , CySEC sent out a press release warning investors against binary options broker TraderXP, who was not and had never been licensed by CySEC. CySEC also temporarily suspended the license of the Cedar Finance on December 19, , because the potential violations referenced appeared to seriously endanger the interests of the company's customers and the proper functioning of capital markets, as described in the official issued press release.

CySEC also issued a warning against binary option broker PlanetOption at the end of the year and another warning against binary option broker LBinary on January 10, , pointing out that it was not regulated by the Commission and the Commission had not received any notification by any of its counterparts in other European countries to the effect of this firm being a regulated provider.

OptionBravo and ChargeXP were also financially penalized. CySEC also indicated that it had voted to reject the ShortOption license application. In , CySEC repeatedly fined Banc De Binary for several violations including the solicitation of U. In August , France's Sapin II bill on transparency was announced by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers AMF , seeking to outlaw all financial derivatives advertising. The AMF stated that it would ban the advertising of certain highly speculative and risky financial contracts to private individuals by electronic means.

The French regulator is determined to cooperate with the legal authorities to have illegal websites blocked.

The Cyprus-based company 24Option [46] was banned from trading in France by AMF earlier in German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority BaFin has been regularly publishing investor warnings.

In March the Malta Financial Services Authority MFSA announced that binary options regulation would be transferred away from Malta's Lottery and Gaming Authority.

In April , New Zealand 's Financial Markets Authority FMA announced that all brokers that offer short-term investment instruments that settle within three days are required to obtain a license from the agency.

In the UK, binary options were regulated by the Gambling Commission rather than the Financial Conduct Authority FCA.

The Isle of Man , a self-governing Crown dependency for which the UK is responsible, has issued licenses to companies offering binary options as "games of skill" licensed and regulated under fixed odds betting by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission GSC.

On October 19, , London police raided 20 binary options firms in London.
