Platforms

SpotOption

TorOption offers its traders the SpotOption platform, a popular binary option platform. There are only two possible outcomes when trading binary options--either the trader is “in the money” or “out of the money”.

At TorOption, traders are provided with a set of powerful and advanced options: Longterm, 60 Seconds, One Touch, Pairs and Ladder.

Longterm is a feature that gives the trader an opportunity to make trades in a way closer to the one of stock market with longer expiry times. 60 Seconds, along with 30 and 120 seconds, is a feature that minimizes the expiry time, for a super quick experience.

SpotOption Trading Platform

One Touch is a useful feature wherein if the trade is “in the money” the trader wins the entire payout, but if the trade is “out of the money” he/she loses the amount invested.

Pairs trading is very similar to binary options, but while in binary options a trader chooses whether the price of an asset will go above or below the current rate by your expiry time, the pairs option allows him to trade on whether the asset will outperform another within a determined time frame.

By choosing the Ladder option, the potential return on the trade can be as high as 1500% and there is even the chance to sell the trade before it expires.

Forex and CFD trading is also available through this platform.
