welcome to another binary options 100
[3]
training video this is binary options
[6]
104 break even ratio my name is Sam and
[12]
this course is brought to you by binary
[14]
options net dot au when we trade binary
[21]
options there's obviously potential
[23]
payouts and potential losses if we place
[28]
a call up hood with the binary options
[32]
broker and our speculation is correct
[35]
and we win we claim a payout from the
[40]
binary options broker which is a profit
[44]
now the payout percentage can range
[47]
generally from about 60 to 80 percent of
[50]
our investment so some examples would be
[54]
sent to 75 80 % cetera if we were to
[59]
lose if we placed a call but price
[64]
depreciated during the time of the
[67]
binary option or if we placed a put and
[70]
price went up or appreciated over the
[75]
time of the binary option we will make a
[77]
loss and this is usually our entire
[81]
investment so if we place 5 dollars on
[87]
our binary option we could potentially
[90]
lose that whole $5 if the potential
[95]
payout was 80% we could potentially gain
[99]
4 dollars and receive 9 dollars back
[103]
which would include our original 5
[106]
dollar investment potentially losing
[110]
100% of your investment is what creates
[114]
one of the major risks in binary options
[117]
trading with other forms of trading your
[122]
investment generally appreciates or
[124]
depreciates with price and there isn't
[128]
this all or nothing characteristic
[131]
so to help us minimize this risk we need
[137]
to calculate a break even ratio and
[140]
ensure our winning percentage is above
[145]
that break even ratio and you understand
[149]
more as this video goes on so what is
[153]
break even ratio break even ratio is the
[160]
amount of winning trades we need to
[164]
place for our account balance to stay
[168]
the same so if we have a $500 account
[172]
balance with our binary options broker
[174]
and we place 100 trades if our account
[178]
balance is still 500 dollars after those
[181]
100 trades we have not made a profit or
[184]
loss our account has stayed the same and
[188]
this is referred to as break-even so if
[192]
our break-even percentage was 55% so if
[197]
we made fifty five percent winning
[201]
binary options trades we would break
[206]
even if we were making sixty percent
[210]
winning trades then we would make a
[212]
profit that 5% from 55 to 60 would bring
[220]
us into profit whereas even if we were
[225]
winning 53 percent of the time and our
[228]
breakeven was 55 percent we would be
[231]
making a loss even though we're winning
[235]
more than half the time our breakeven is
[241]
more than half the reason being the
[246]
potential risk outweighs the potential
[249]
profit the first step you need to take
[253]
in developing a binary options trading
[256]
strategy is to calculate break even
[260]
ratio
[261]
you can then find a strategy or provide
[266]
a higher percentage of winning trades
[269]
when compared to break-even so how is
[274]
break even ratio calculated we take our
[279]
potential loss which is usually 100 and
[283]
we divide that by the potential payout
[286]
plus the potential loss and times by 100
[292]
so if our potential loss is 100 percent
[296]
of what we invest and our potential
[300]
payout is 75 percent we would take 100
[306]
the potential loss divide that by the
[310]
potential payout and potential loss
[312]
which is 175 and times by 100 which is
[317]
50 7.14 percent meaning if we were right
[326]
57 point 1 4 percent of the time when
[329]
trading binary options we would break
[331]
even if we were right more than 57 point
[337]
1 4 percent we would make a profit and
[341]
vice versa if we were right less than 50
[347]
7 point 1 4 percent we would make a loss
[351]
so here are some examples of break-even
[356]
percentages you noticed the potential
[361]
loss on these bottom two is that 95 the
[366]
reason being in some brokers do not take
[370]
100 percent of the investment some of
[372]
them may only take 95 percent
[379]
it's a potential loss of 100% of your
[383]
investment a potential payout of 68
[386]
percent of your investment creates a
[390]
break-even of fifty nine point five two
[392]
percent potential loss of 100 percent of
[401]
potential payouts of seventy seven gives
[405]
a break-even of fifty six point five
[408]
potential loss of 100 against eighty two
[413]
gives a break-even of fifty four point
[416]
nine five and then we have two more
[419]
calculations here for 95 percent
[423]
potential loss so you'll notice the
[427]
smaller the potential loss and the
[430]
higher the potential gain or pay out the
[435]
lower the break-even percentage should
[438]
be meaning we have to be right in our
[442]
trading less frequently
