Trading is about making money. Making money on the binary options market is about carefully analyzing statistics and ultimately about basic math. Binary option brokers, for the most part, profit from what their clients lose. They are targeting an equilibrium in the market when for every buyer there is a seller and vice versa (i.e. there should always be an even amount of puts and calls), but that is rarely the case.
Traders also need math to be on their side. And since the rules of trading binary options are already set, traders just need to make the calculations. Unlike forex or stock trading, the risk/reward ratio is non-negotiable in binary options trading. The only thing left to improve or control in a sense, is the win rate.

Greetings Vasil, and all reading this article or comments. The article above just amuses me: it’s a typical one. This is where an author just puts a title to a publication but does not fulfill what the headline suggests. I thought, and i hope you all did, that the author was going to improve our maths in Binary Options. Just telling us you have to win 60% of the time is not enough. Most traders know this and so no need to reinvent the wheel.
