In most forms of investment the investors actually purchases the asset they invest in and the value of the profit and loss is determined upon the changing value of the asset. If the investor sells the asset back to the market whenever its value increases then they're making a profit, and if they sell the asset back to the market when its value decreases, then their money is lost. On the contrary, in binary option trading, we trade on the market and not in the market like other trading methods, and thus the amount of psychological stress isn’t expressed, as you are just predicting the asset's movement for a predetermined time frame. There is an increase in the number of binary options brokers who provide web-based platforms for carrying out binary trades.
