StockPair Broker Review

As a company StockPair offers something slightly different to many of the current crop of binary options brokers.

The main proposition provided is Pairs Trading. These offer a new dimension to trading and complement the standard Binary Options contracts also offered by the broker.

The company was established in 2010 and is operated by Nextrade Worldwide Ltd. It has built up a  reputation for providing good customer support.

Key Features

One of the key selling points of StockPair is evident in the name of this binary options broker. As well as offering conventional higher/ lower trading contracts it specializes in providing Pairs Options. These work by paying out if you can predict how the price of two different assets will move against each other.

For example, you might want to trade the price of Google against Facebook. On the contract you would select whether you believe that the price of Google would gain more than Facebook by expiry. Or you could trade vice a versa. It is up to you.

Pairs option trading is attractive as it offers a different set of trading opportunities. These contracts are good when you don’t know which direction the market is biased to. On these occasions it is much easier to find a pair of stocks and profit from changes in their relative value. Pairs are particularly suitable for trading when you know that fundamental news is due on one of the assets in the pair.

StockPair does of course also offer conventional binary options contracts. These are available within the same trading platform and offer a wide selection of assets and expiry times to trade. expiry times from five minutes are available. You can earn up to 85% on many contracts.

A decent charting facility with the option to add some basic technical indicators completes the package, making the Stock Pair binary options trading platform a favorable alternative to many of the current crop of white-labelled platforms.

One thing to note however is that there are no rebates for out-of-the-money contracts. However you can chose to close out of some contacts early by using one of the many trading tools offered.

Options Types Offered

• Call/Put - The classic binary option contract. With this contract you can profit from the price of an asset moving either higher or lower. Get it right and you profit at the expiry time.
• Pairs Options - Pairs contracts allow you to wager and profit from how the price of two assets perform against each other.

Account Types

To open an account with StockPair you will need to make an initial deposit of $200. Only one account type exists, so you won’t have to make any initial decisions on the account level to choose. The same great feature and levels of return are open to all traders. This is a nice feature.
