Market Madness Launches Real Mini-Binary Options within their App Platform
- Market Madness evolves their mobile trading game, integrating live binary options trading on the platform.
Earlier in the year Finance Magnates featured the release of Market Madness, a new mobile trading app aimed at simulating a live trading experience. The app was structured like other mobile games of skill, requiring players to pass levels to unlock more difficult trading scenarios. At the time of its launch, Market Madness was available to brokers as both a branded licensed product as well as a sales funnel to partner brokers.
Expanding the product’s features in time for the iFX Expo last week, Market Madness integrated live trading into the app. Partnering with 24Option and IQ Options, Market Madness now allows users to open, fund, and trade real accounts directly within the application, replacing the need to leave the game to external broker sites.
Like the game, the real trading feature is aimed at educating users. As a result, it allows for micro-trading of binary options positions in the single dollar digits, instead of $50 or $100 minimums.
