The growing need for regulation, monitoring, and controls led to the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) being created in the United States. The OCC began to lay down rules to deal specifically with regulating binary options, ensuring that every seller of binary options is satisfactorily monitored. As a result these binary options dealers today must maintain a license in order to sell exchange traded binary options over the counter. If guilty of violating the rules, the binary options dealers can be suspended for a length of time or can even have their license to issue exchange traded binary options revoked.Another major step forward in regulation of binary options occurred more recently in 2007 when the OCC proposed a rule change and in 2008 the United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the listing of cash-or-nothing binary options, allowing for exchange traded binary options on major markets, thereby making them much more mainstream. The same year, both the New York Stock Exchanges American Exchange (NYSE Amex) and the CBOE launched cash-or-nothing binary options and called them Fixed Returns Options or FROs. These FROs are exchange traded binary options with continuous quotations that allow the investor to buy or sell at a fixed price.Within a short time afterwards, internet based binary options brokers began to operate. Unlike exchange trading, online binary options trading is a contract between the company and the buyer of the binary option, not an option bought and sold between investors through a central exchange. Surprisingly many of the online binary options companies which began operations in recent years chose to do so without becoming properly licensed and regulated in advance of launching their trading platforms so that these companies could effectively operate outside the scope of governance and without any rules or appropriate customer protections.By contrast, MarketsWorld holding a proper license from a highly regarded British Regulator enables us to offer our reliable, licensed and regulated online binary options trading guaranteeing online traders of binary options the security of their earnings while at the same time assuring online traders get reliable and trustworthy access to the exciting world of online binary options trading.

Online binary options trading fundamentally differs from an exchange based operation in that an options exchange is a central marketplace where buyers and sellers come together to trade against each other. The options exchange maintains supply and demand, facilitates liquidity, mitigates all credit risk concerning the default of one party in the transaction, and sets the current market price.Online binary options trading platforms are not a central exchange between investors. Online binary options trading platforms provide fixed odds returns through binary options trading on the price movements of the financial markets going up or down. With an online binary option trading platform, every trade purchased is against the company itself, unlike the trading which takes place between individual investors through a central exchange and comes under the jurisdiction of the CFTC. This is why you have to be sure you can trust both the company operating the platform and the regulator supervising the company, if any.MarketsWorld is licensed and regulated in the highly respected and trusted jurisdiction of the Isle of Man, Great Britain to offer fixed returns binary options, as opposed to carrying a CFTC license as would be required to operate an options exchange. There are pros and cons with both systems however the advantages for online trading of binary options with their fixed odds returns over trading against other investors through a central exchange are as follows.Unlike exchange based options trading, the binary options trades purchased from MarketsWorld are not transferrable so you do not need to worry about deciding when to sell the binary option trade whereas with exchange traded options, you would actually own an option which you would need to sell where the value of your option would be constantly changing based on the underlying assets price, and you would have to decide the right moment to close out or sell the option adding difficulty and complexity.The kind of online binary options trading offered by MarketsWorld is becoming more popular due to its being so much more simple and straightforward because the online investor specifically does not have to worry about selling or closing out his or her trade, you either win or lose the fixed amount at the trades expiry time, providing known certainty of risk and reward from the moment the trade is purchased. You never stand to lose more than the investment stakes allotted to a given binary trade.Providing a more straightforward and easier method to trade with greater certainty, the online binary investor simply chooses the trades expiry at the time of buying the binary option trade, from five minutes away up to the end of the day, you dont have to worry about when to sell the option over an options exchange. Online binary options trading is therefore highly flexible while assuring certainty. Within a few minutes you can make up to 100 profit on your trade. You can operate a trading account with as little as 10.
