The trading platform

The trading platform is actually easy to use, but can be a bit overwhelming at first glance. We suggest you use the demo account to familiarise yourself with the platform and play around a bit before you change into real-money trading.

The asset and options list is located on the left hand side of the trading platform. If you for instance want to have commodities as your underlying assets for binary options, this is where you make that choice. Once you have made your basic selections, the price graph will update automatically to the right. You can now make adjustments, e.g. when it comes to expiry time. Above the price graph, you will find buttons for adjusting the stake level.
