Optionen

All options no longer accept new binary options accounts. They are moving into other areas of investment such as Forex and CFDs.

Go back to our broker comparison table to search for alternative brokers.

Alloption was one of the first brokers to offer binary options and is one of the largest in the field. Operated by Ouroboros, the company is registered in Cyprus and regulated by CySec. They have also sought to register and to the financial conducting agency FCA, despite not yet assuming UK regulatory responsibilities.

All Options operates under the mission statement “ Everyone can trade ” and offers a wide range of option types and relatively low deposit and trade minimums. The trading platform is designed to make trading easy for new investors and offers features and markets that will attract professional traders.

Trading platform

All options platforms are fast and easy to use. This feature focuses on providing flexibility and allowing traders to monitor and maximize their profits.

The layout follows the Anyoption website ‘look and feel’. The trading area doesn’t usually have bright red and green buttons, but has more subtle arrows. This makes the trading area a lot less hectic but usable.

Option selections are listed at the top of the trading platform. A range of assets will then be listed in the drop-down menu just below Select Options. This area is structured so that traders can open multiple trading windows at once. Each window displays a short-term price graph and expiration time, current option price and payout value. Editing the trade size will automatically update the ” if correct ” value. There is also value in flagging potential rebates if traders use an account that pays out certain rewards. This is a ‘cashback’ style value, which allows you to pay out even if your chosen binary option ‘loses your money’.

Overall, the trading platform area is clear and unobtrusive. The configuration is flexible enough to suit most traders.

Trader’s Choice

All options offer very different trading options compared to other binary options brokers. As well as the more ‘standard’ offerings, the company offers some interesting variations.

• Binary options – traditional high/low options. Do asset values rise or fall?
• Option + – The platform provides a specific trading area for settling open trades. So you can resell the options to your broker, bank your profits or cut your losses.
• Binary 0-100 – The 0-100 zone allows traders to buy and sell options and trade them in a more traditional way. This form of trading can offer great returns of up to 1000%, but also increases risk.
• One Touch – A unique trading hand selected by the broker. Deals usually expire weekly but offer high payouts. These trades are generally available outside of core trading hours.
• Special – All options offer a variety of special markets, including Bitcoin-like markets.
• Bubbles – A new feature recently released. Bubbles allow traders to select an area (or “bubble”) where they believe the price of an asset will expire. The payout for this option depends on the size and location of the bubble. Below is a screenshot of the new option.

Anyoption’s list of assets is fairly comprehensive, but other companies offer longer lists of commodities and forex. Newly available assets are displayed at the bottom of the homepage, which is a useful feature for traders to see at a glance when a new entry has been opened.

mobile app

All options offer slick mobile apps and are labeled “Anyoption, Anywhere“. It’s well presented, yet carefully laid out and easy to use. Instead of the familiar red and green buttons for Call or Select, Anyoption has a much more appealing color theme. The buttons are still clear, but it makes for a much more usable application for mobile devices. It also matches the website’s settings.

In terms of functionality, a mobile app is also present here. Of course, real-time trading is offered across all common asset types (e.g. forex, commodities, indices and stocks). You can search for as many quotes as you need. There are no ads embedded in the mobile app and it is free to use.

Apart from the standard features, Anyoption has ensured that all account management services can also be done in the mobile app. This has not always been possible with other broker trading applications.

Payout

Companies typically offer payouts of around 80%, which depend on asset class and expiration time. However, payouts start to change when traders deviate from the standard offering. One-touch options often pay 380%, and 0-100 binaries can reach 1000%. However, this kind of payout actually highlights the very high risk of these trades.

Withdrawal and deposit options

Anyoption’s withdrawal options are quite limited. Funds can only be withdrawn from the account via credit card or bank transfer. This has been a source of trouble for some traders, but Anyoption makes it clear right from the start.

Withdrawal requests (made via the “Withdrawals” option on the ‘My Account’ page) will be processed within 3 business days from the days of the request . During this period, traders can cancel the withdrawal request and return the money to their account. This allows customers to invest without making a new deposit. After 3 business days, the status of your withdrawal request will change to ‘Processed’ and can no longer be canceled.

According to all options, withdrawal processing may take an additional 3 days. These issues are caused by third party, bank or card issuer processes.

You can also deposit through the ‘My Account’ menu. Depositing with credit and debit cards is slightly easier than wire transfer as the process is one less step. You can also use Skrill (deposits only). All deposits are processed through transaction security protocols including encrypted SSL. At £200, the minimum deposit is slightly below the industry standard, and a minimum of £250 is usually required.

Portfolio management and investment advice

All Options recently obtained an extended license from CySec, which allows it to provide portfolio management and investment advice. This level of licensing requires a higher level of regulation and is an exciting step for brands.

other features

Anyoption offers traders the following additional features and benefits:

• • TakeProfit  – allows traders to take the promised profit on an option in exchange for premium before its original expiration time.
  • Roll Forward – Delays the expiry of a binary option to the nearest available expiry in exchange for a premium.
  • Profit Line – gives traders access to a chart showing the option’s progress and current profit profile.
  • ‘Show Off’ Area  – Successful traders can post their profits on the Show Off page, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.
  • SMS Service  – traders can receive SMS text updates when positions expire.
  • Bubbles – a new trading type (described above) is a real innovation.

Bonus

All options currently offer 1 risk-free trade. This allows new customers to try out the platform in a single transaction, with no financial risk. The terms and conditions of this bonus compare favorably with some no deposit bonuses from other brokers. This suggests that funds are frozen until the turnover requirement is met. Bonuses are a clear and simple way for traders to use the platform freely.
