The most commonly used binary option contract is known as the 'Call/Put'. It will pay-out a fixed return if the market finishes above or below the market strike price. You have to decide from your analysis as to which direction the market will move. Once you have done this you then need to purchase the appropriate contract to place in your account.

Other contracts are however available. Many brokers who deal in these binary contracts offer the chance to profit from additional market outcomes.

These offer the chance to make additional profits on your account even when there is no clear directional move present in the market.
