TradeRush Review Of All New Features For 2012 - 06/12/2012
Traderush is one of the newer major binary options brokers to enter the market with its launch coming in mid-2011. And it was off to the races from there. TradeRush quickly became, first a market leader in the industry, and then the market leader in the binary options trading industry. All in less than one year. They must be doing something right over there (This TradeRush review is a much more recently updated review than ours, which is really made necessary by all the changes that have taken place over there. We just don't have the time to do it ourselves). An already great binary options broker just got even better.

TradeRush Review Details

That's a lot of new features to be rolled out all at once! We're loving them though and we thought that a TradeRush review update was in order considering the substantial changes. Probably the biggest news here is the introduction of pair options trading to the TradeRush binary options platform. Until now if you wanted to trade dedicated pair options pretty much your only option was Stockpair. A good broker for sure and one we can easily recommend for pair options trading but nonetheless, variety is nice and we've been hoping more brokers would start offering pair options. It's no surprise to us that it was our favorite broker, TradeRush, who pulled the trigger first on this. We suspect that many more binary options brokers will follow the lead of TradeRush, as they usually do. TradeRush has done a good job of establishing itself as the leader in binary options trading with others doing the following. They were also the first to introduce 60-second options to the scene with other brokers playing catch-up and following suit.

TradeRush is offering a decent selection of pair options for the feature's launch and they plan to continue adding to the list as we move forward. This will certainly give TradeRush a distinct advantage over most of the competition. Below is the list of pair options introduced for the feature's launch and a company representative contacted for this TradeRush review assured us that more are on the way!

TradeRush Review - Pair Options Selection


TradeRush Pair Options
Stocks Commodities Indices
CITI v. JPM GOLD v. SILVER DAX v. CAC
AAPL v. GOOG GOLD v. CRUDE OIL
AMZN v. AAPL GOLD v. EUR
BNP v. BARCLAYS


Not a bad list to start but I think we can expect this selection to grow rather rapidly as pair options are continuing to gain in popularity. TradeRush is all about giving the clients what they want and what they want is more variety and more trading options. Equaling more profit opportunities. TradeRush continues to deliver on this front and doing this TradeRush review convinced us that they will almost certainly continue to be the leader in binary options trading technology for some time to come.

80/20 Trading - An EWI Perspective


The 80/20 Trade: "Pounce Like a Cat"
Patience Can Be Rewarding 
June 04, 2012By Elliott Wave International

Copy the tiger when stalking and capturing a "pounce-ready" trade.
Tigers know the prey they covet is elusive: they show great patience and care when stalking the target.
I came across this description of the tiger's technique:
"When hunting, this cat...may take twenty minutes to creep over ground which would be covered in under one minute at a normal walk...the tiger will sometimes pause...move closer and so lessen that critical attack distance...before finally raising its body and charging.

"...they wait until a victim comes close and spring up...This ambush method of hunting uses less energy and has a greater chance of success."
You must "ambush" high confidence trades. Long-time professional trader and teacher Dick Diamond says patience is vital before the ambush.
I talked to Diamond about his famous 80/20 trade, which he means literally -- he says it has at least an 80 percent chance of success. It's the only trade set-up Diamond will take.
TradeRush 60 second options trading
Q: Could you tell me about the 80/20 trade?
Diamond: The 80/20 trade is based on indicators that create a specific trading set-up. A trader must act on this set-up immediately. You must wait, and then pounce like a cat when the opportunity presents itself. Then you set stops. In shorter time frames, like trading from a five minute chart, the 80/20 set up may come along a few times a day. If you're trading a longer time frame, like off of a 120 minute or 240 minute chart, the 80/20 will come along less frequently, but when it does, the opportunity will be bigger. The 80/20 trade can be especially rewarding for position traders. Sometimes the indicators reveal what I call 90/10 or even 95/5 trades.

Q: What emotional factors do students need to work on the most?
Diamond: Traders must be calm and confident. You can't be a Nervous Nellie and succeed at trading. Calmness comes from learning the proper trading techniques.

Q: What's different about trading today vs. when you started out in the 1960s?
Diamond: When I started trading, execution took up to five minutes -- now it takes less than a second. Time is money, so computers provide a great advantage to today's trader compared to pre-computer days. At the same time, while computers allow the trader to see multiple indicators on the screen, one must avoid indicator overload. One must learn to narrow down the number of indicator

Forex Hedging With Binary Options

An Intro To Using Binary Options As A Forex Speculation Instrument

Definition of 'Binary Option'  --  (From Investopedia)
A type of option in which the payoff is structured to be either a fixed amount of compensation if the option expires in the money, or nothing at all if the option expires out of the money. Also sometimes referred to as "all-or-nothing options" or "digital options".
These binary options are different from "plain vanilla" options.

Using binary options as a vehicle for speculating in the Forex markets is really quite straightforward and uncomplicated. This can allow those who are who have little experience or are just getting into financial markets and Forex to get their feet wet without risking losing their shirt. You could potentially get started with the very modest minimum initial investment of $200 - though $500 as a minimum is recommended for proper money techniques to be implemented.

With returns up to 85% per trade on an hourly basis the potential for profit is enormous if done correctly and smartly. There is also significant risk of losing your initial investment. Which is why proper money management is crucial in binary options trading. The ability to precisely control your risk and risk/reward profile is one of the great draws of Forex binary options trading and when you harness that risk, accept it and use it properly, you can do very well for yourself. We turned $100 into a bit over $1000 in just a couple days last week. We very well may have lost that $100 we started with. But, we could only lose a maximum of that starting $100 and we had the opportunity to profit much much more than $100. So you see, that's the great thing about binary options trading for us.
