Alpari UK Launches Binary Options With SpotOption

NICOSIA, Cyprus, October 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Leading binary options platform provider, SpotOption, connects Alpari UK to their new, upgraded platform, Spot2

Alpari UK, a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated broker, now offers binary options trading using SpotOption technology.  As binary options are the latest trend in forex, Alpari UK, a leading global forex broker, once again stays ahead by offering their traders the opportunity to trade this instrument.  Alpari UK's new web-based binary options platform, http://www.alpari.com/binaryoptions, gives new and experienced traders an alternative way to trade both short and long-term market movements.  Binary options was first recognised as a regulated financial instrument in Europe by CySEC in 2012 and SpotOption was the first to provide licensed market making for binary options through its partner company, SpotOption Exchange.  SpotOption Exchange is regulated in the UK by the FCA, and Alpari UK traders now enjoy the full benefits of trading and hedging with binary options through SpotOption's latest platform, Spot2.  Alpari UK is one of the few authorised and regulated brokers who offer binary options.

The Spot2 platform focuses on the trader experience, with a layout and functionality that meets the cutting-edge standards of Alpari UK.  SpotOption's binary options platform is a straightforward platform to access the markets. Traders follow only three steps: firstly they choose the financial asset they would like to trade; then they select the expiry time; and finally they select the amount they would like to trade.

The Alpari UK binary options operation gives traders the ability to trade binary options which expiries in a day, week, or as short term as 30/60/120 seconds.  Traders also have the ability to trade binary option "pairs" - meaning they can predict which asset in an asset pair will outperform the other by the expiry, for example USD/EU.

"Alpari's launch has caused a great amount of excitement, and rightfully so," says Pini Peter, Founder of SpotOption. "Binary options have firmly situated themselves in the world of forex, and with leading brokers such as Alpari UK taking them on, the future for binaries seem certain."
