Binary Options Pro Signals introduce IM alerts…

admin — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 10:47:36 +0000

The Binary Options Pro Signals service is trialling the use of an IM service to inform members of potential trades. They are using GoogleTalk as the carrier and are asking for members who are interested to sign up now.

Anyone who likes the idea of trading the markets, whether that’s shares, commodities, forex or indices are often put off by the need to fully understand the dynamics of both the markets themselves and the trading method. How ever easy trading platforms become there is always an element of doubt as to whether a planned trade will be executed as desired.

Binary Options is a way to avoid virtually all of this doubt and confusion. It works on a very simple principle. Whether the value of what you are trading will go up or go down in a pre-defined time range. So, for example if you think that the price of gold will keep rising in the next 24 hours you could placed a Binary Option Call trade. Assuming that the price is higher when the time limit closes you will earn the pre-defined return. This is normally in the region of 75% to 80%. If you’re wrong you lose your original stake.

So, you always know exactly what the risk and reward is on any trade. The secret of course is knowing whether your chosen trade will go up or go down. That’s where Binary Options Pro Services come in. They provide advice as to potential trades each trading day.

They don’t provide signals for every possible asset as they focus on specific markets. You are free to choose which of the ten assets they advise on to receive advice on. In most cases there’s no reason why you would restrict yourself to particular assets so you are advised to sign up for them all.

Each day at 12.30GMT they send you an email with the trades they think are likely to be active that day. The email includes instructions of what to do. You can also sign up for free alerts that BOPS issue when a trade is likely. As mentioned at the top of this post they are introducing a new IM alert service that could offer advantages over email.

The current debt debate in the US is making the markets nervous as they react to the uncertainty that it brings. This means that BOPS signals have been few and far between for the last few days. If you are tempted to try the service you would be better off waiting until the uncertainty has gone and markets return to greater volatility. The BOPS service is priced at $97 per month with an introductory offer of the first seven days for $7. The service claim a success rate of 70%+ on recommended trades. This can be verified by checking the daily results that are published on their website.

Like any advisory service there will be days of feast and famine. As mentioned in the last few days trades have been scarce. On other days you may receive anywhere between 1 and 4 or 5 potential trades. Whilst 1 or 2 a day is manageable more than this would need a reasonable size of bank to ensure sufficient funds are available. If more than 2 a day are received it can create uncertainty knowing which ones to trade.

To trade the signals you will need to open a trading account. There are more and more providers springing up every day, BOPS provide a short list that they recommend but you are always free to find your own.

One-X Countdown begins Tuesday 14 June…

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:50:40 +0000

The 24 hour countdown began today (Tuesday June 14) for the initial joining phase of One-X.

Whilst they finalise the set up of their own payment processor they will use Solid Trust Pay (STP) as an interim solution. As I commented in a previous post you will need to take into account any fees associated with funding the STP account to ensure that you have sufficient cleared funds available for the tiers you wish to invest in.

To make this sensible financially you should consider transferring sufficient funds to cover the four tier levels in the first matrix ($40), or enough to fund the purchase of keys at $6 each so that you can pay it forward for others. Unless you have funds that can be easily and cheaply transferred to STP then it doesn’t make a lot of sense to try and fund just the first $5.

As the joining process is dependent on having a sponsor you should wait for a link from the person who introduced you to One-X before submitting your details.

Once you have signed up you will need to wait for notification to fund your first tier as a second countdown will happen before payments will be necessary. This should allow time for STP accounts to be funded in preparation.

Indications suggest that there is pent up demand for this program to open and the potential for spillover is possible. However, on a personal level you should not make a decision to join based on the assumption that you will receive spillover. Your decision should be based on what value you see for yourself, family and friends and whether this makes sense for your personal objectives.

If you don’t yet have an STP account you will need to join sooner rather than later. You will need to provide verification data and it may take a few days to have this approved by STP. Doing this now will speed things up as payments become due.

The One-X blog will contain the latest information about roll out and you are advised to check this on a regular basis.

If I can help with any questions you might have please don’t hesitate to post a comment and I will do my best to answer it for you.

One-X sign up starts tomorrow…

admin — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:23:23 +0000

Just a very quick post to let you all know that One-X sign up goes live tomorrow. Your out of pocket expense for one place is $5. Your reward will be substantially more. Let me know you are interested by sending your details via email to admin_at_onlineinvestingguru.com (replace _at_ with @). This really seems to have a lot of momentum behind it so you should read my previous post about it and let me know your details now…time is really of the essence on this one.

Duellatorus Update

admin — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:59:29 +0000

As I was recently reminded in a comment it has been several months since I’ve provided an update on Duellatorus and to be honest I was hoping this would be a positive response.

Sad to say that this is not the case. I’m a fairly laid back person and probably less diligent than I should be when following up on things. With Duellatorus that has created issues that I find difficult to report on.

In summary my fund has reduced by nearly 50% and Duellatorus have felt little responsibility for that. The problems first started when someone gained access to the trading account and managed to execute a trade that lost a significant sum of money. When this was reported I responded to say that this had not been handled in a very professional way and whilst I had a reply that acknowledged this there were no suggestions as to how these losses could be recouped.

Trading continued but was generally insignificant in terms of gains and came nowhere near the hoped for 10% per month.

As time went on the trading platform used by Duellatorus was bought out by AvAFX. This has resulted in extended periods of little communication and uncertainty as to what was happening with the account.

I am now able to access my new account but the sum available has reduced even further with little evidence of how this has happened.

In summary Duellatorus have not acted in any way as a professional organisation and in my personal opinion are not a company to place funds with.

Duellatorus making headway…

admin — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 17:05:54 +0000

Well, it’s almost two months since Duellatorus started trading on my behalf. As a reminder this was a service that claims to use unorthodox methods when trading forex.

I agreed to invest some money and report on results as the months progress. Their aim is to make a return of 10% a month on invested funds.

The initial period of investment is six months and we are now a third of the way through. Anyone who has experience in forex trading will appreciate things never happen as expected. You need patience and belief to get you through both the ups and downs.

So, to report that things are on track is particularly pleasing. The return is currently just over 20% for the two months. Now that’s not to say it’s all been plain sailing. One set of transactions took quite a while to complete and in fact traded at a loss for quite a while. However, patience was rewarded as they closed out for a profit recently.

I like the idea of having an account like this as I know my personality is not really suited to trading. Here I can benefit from the experience of others and trade profitably. Of course this isn’t free and I do pay a proportion of my profit for the service.

If this sounds of interest then keep an eye out for future reports and I’ll give you more details of how to join.

Why is gambling such a dirty word online?…

admin — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:04:18 +0000

I received an email today from Matt Bisogno who runs the website Geegeez and he was pretty down. And I have a whole lot of sympathy for his predicament. Matt provides products and services to do with gambling. Now, in the UK this is all perfectly legal and to some extent encouraged. Unfortunately other countries don’t share this view and Matt has fallen foul of this prejudice.

It seems that two of the companies he had been quite happily using, Paypal and GetResponse have now decided that what Matt does breaks their terms of service.

I suffered a somewhat similar fate some while ago when a service I was using to deliver email newsletters shut down my account because I published information which they categorised as promoting ‘Get Rich quick’ schemes. Whilst I felt peed off about this it didn’t impact me anywhere near as much as how Matt will suffer.

He earns a living from his site and services and it now looks that by acting in this draconian manner these two companies will seriously impact Matt’s ability to earn an income. Personally I think this is churlish and once again the nanny state pokes its nose into somewhere its not wanted.

Granted gambling may be illegal in some countries (more nannystateism) but where it isn’t then people should be allowed to carry on their business without fear of losing everything at the whim of some ill drafted service terms. It can’t be beyond the whit of these companies to let Matt go about his business assuming he remains legal.

Now Matt finds himself with the hassle of having to find other ways to provide a service to his clients. Reading his missive it’s clear there will need to be some time for him to recover but hopefully he will eventually see this as a positive step rather than a negative one.

So, the last word must be to anyone who trades in the same sort of area. You’d be wise to check the terms of service on any online provider you are using to make sure they allow your activity. If they don’t start to plan now how you will transition elsewhere and you can decide when to leave rather than be ejected without ceremony. You have been warned!

So, that was 2010 then…

admin — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 11:13:32 +0000

I must admit I had great hopes for 2010 as I felt that we would at last see some positive returns from at least one of the plans scheduled to pay out. Well, as we all know nothing actually happened and it left people hugely frustrated and demoralised.

In the latter part of the year the bad news was compounded by the demise of both WBwso and CherryShares. These are just more examples of people putting their trust in so called ‘honest’ Admins that turn out to be unjustified.

If anyone needs further proof that online investing is not an arena for honesty and openness then perhaps they really need to look very closely at their ability to make sound judgements based on evidence.

So, we have to take personal responsibility for investing funds where we retain control rather than passing it to invisible conmen.

Personally I am being far more cautious and will probably end up with no more than two or three investments to look after. I will no longer hand over money to others no matter how legitimate or alluring the opportunity may appear.

Let me wish all readers a very Happy New Year. Just to note that I am closing off comments on some posts as I believe there is no further value in going over old wounds. Let’s move on and ‘Let’s be careful out there!’

Best wishes for the holiday season…

Could 113 be a lucky number?…

admin — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 16:59:53 +0000

I’ve just been over to the World Pension Plus (WPP) website and notice that they need just another 113 policy purchases to reach their stated target of 70,000 policies.

Now, before we all get too excited we should put this into perspective. WPP like many other Reverse Pension Plans have remained very flexible about just what the final cutoff number will be so whilst this looks promising nothing is guaranteed.

For those who may not be familiar with WPP they are offering a payout of $80,000 for a personal investment of $55. In essence you are receiving an early payment against a pension policy in your name. You gain by receiving a cash lump sum early and the provider, in this case WPP, gains by being able to cash the full value of the policy when it matures.

As people of all ages can purchase a policy (unless you are above retirement age already) then they can plan on regular inflows of cash as policies mature. I hesitate to call it a win-win as no RPP has yet delivered but in theory it is definitely possible.

As an added incentive if you buy more than five policies per individual you get a free matching one. So, if you invest in seven policies you’ll receive two more free giving an additional $160,000 at payout.

Now, as mentioned earlier no RPP has yet paid out so there is a risk and if you do an online search you’ll see that there are strong opinions on both sides of the argument. Don’t let that worry you. Have a look at the WPP offer for yourself and see it makes sense for your own circumstances. Just understand the risks involved and decide based on whether that is acceptable.
