Raceoption-Overview of Spreads, Commissions, Leverage

GENERAL INFORMATION

Raceoption is a Forex and binary broker providing financial services internationally. Raceoption clients have access to a referral program and bonuses; the broker also regularly conducts trading competitions among all traders. The broker RaceOptions belongs to the Race Projects LTD.

RaceOption is part of the Finance Group Corp (FGC) and Suomen Kerren, LP. Both are registered in Vanuatu, though RaceOption itself is based in London. While these companies don't offer quite the same level of protection as regulatory bodies like FCA or CySEC, there haven't been many problems with them or RaceOption.

That also means you can trade more currency types if you decide to try forex trading.

The biggest problem with the lack of regulation is how unclear certain policies become. While RaceOption supports US traders, regulatory bodies in the US don't support RaceOption. Fewer regulations can also create a less reputable company, although, in RaceOption's case, many traders have had positive experiences.

TRADING PLATFORM

The platform has a familiar feel. There is nothing to make it stand out from rivals. Regardless, it supports binary options trading as well as simple forex and CFDs in a manner suitable for newbies as well as more experienced traders.

The platform is very simple to use and is not cluttered with a lot of the frills and add-ons others use to dazzle traders. To the left is the asset listings, in the middle is the chart/screen for trading and to the right is the order area. Simply pick call or put, enter the trade amount, pick the expiry and hit enter. Easy peasy.

RaceOption uses a platform similar to the SpotOption platform, though they've changed it up a little. RaceOption's platform makes the trade interface even simpler by giving you access to everything you need all in the same space, without a convoluted layout.

You'll see how much you've invested in the top right corner of your screen. Right below it, you can add to that amount, see how much time you have left in your timed trade, and as you predict the market outcome, when it comes time to invest, you can't miss the bright call and put buttons near the bottom.
