Binary Options: Strategies for Directional and Volatility Trading

Binary Options: Strategies for Directional and Volatility Trading is one of the most comprehensive and professional-level guides ever written on binary options. Authored by Alex Nekritin and Torben Melsted—both highly experienced derivatives and FX traders—this book provides a structured, strategic approach to trading binaries with discipline, precision, and advanced market logic.

Unlike the typical “binary options hype,” this book delivers a true institutional perspective. The authors break down the mechanics of binary options, price behavior, and market psychology while teaching traders how to combine technical analysis, trend structure, sentiment, and volatility modeling into a powerful trading framework.

The book focuses heavily on directional strategies (momentum, breakout, reversal, mean reversion) and volatility-based strategies (straddles, event-driven setups, volatility compression/expansion, and sentiment shifts). Nekritin and Melsted use real chart examples, structured entry rules, expiration timing logic, and option-selection principles to help traders build consistently profitable approaches.

Readers learn how to identify low-risk, high-probability conditions, evaluate the strength of market moves, and use binary expirations to their advantage. The book also includes professional-grade techniques such as implied volatility interpretation, economic event preparation, market-microstructure insights, and multi-timeframe analysis.

Whether you want to trade Forex binaries, stock indices, commodities, or macro events, this book gives you a complete, step-by-step system to trade binaries strategically—not emotionally. It teaches how to transform raw price movement into clear, structured binary decisions.
