Trading binary options calls for a common sense approach. The main approaches are either the Trend Following Method or the Reversal Method.
Depending on what our broker allows we may enter a option position
with less than 15 minutes remaining before we realize a profit or loss.
So how do we make sure our very short term investment is going to pay
handsome dividends? That is let us profit between 70 to 80% of our
investment!
One answer is using the TREND FOLLOWING METHOD which involves
selecting chart patterns that indicate "full on" bearish price action
(for put options) or "full on" bullish price action (for call options).
Take for example the chart below we see some ideas that we know price has a very high probability of continuing downward.
We would have entered a PUT binary option fairly confident that price will continue on it's journey downward. Here's why;
1. Major trend is down on higher time frames.(not shown on chart below).
2. Price under 7 period exponential moving average.
3. Big bearish candle closes under support level.
4. Price enters wave five formation after break of support level.
