Binary Option Markets

Many of the most popular financial instruments such as currency pairs, equities and commodities are available to trade using binary options.

However, within the various markets cited above, only the most liquid securities are usually available for trading. This is because illiquid markets can theoretically be prone to manipulation.

Forex

The currency market is the biggest financial market in the world and is open 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday. As such, it is the most popular market for binary options traders.

Most major and minor currency pairs like the EUR/USD and EUR/GBP are available to trade using binary options.

Many binary options traders were formerly currency traders and I believe that binary options trading itself is an natural evolution from the highly popular retail fx trading in today's world where almost everyone has a mobile phone or tablet with high speed internet access. Trading currencies using binary options is much more convenient when using a mobile phone than it is to trade currency futures.

Equities & Indices

When it comes to equities, only the most popular and most liquid stocks are available for trading in most major binary option brokerages. You will be able to trade binary options on large capitalization stocks such as Amazon, Google and Facebook.

Commodities

Oil and gold futures are perhaps the most popular commodities traded on the major binary option brokerages.

Other popular commodities available for trading include: Coffee, Corn, Silver, Platinum, Sugar and Wheat.

Bitcoin

Some brokerages even offer binary options trading for bitcoin price index but the payouts are extremely low due to the reduced liquidity of the bitcoin market.
