This itself is a scam and I am surprised there are people like you, who support. It is like, there are brokers, who kill us and you support, their duty is to kill us and you shouldn't go.
1. Your linke
How do binary options brokers make money? | BinaryOptions.net, clearly mentioned what I described, that BO's make money mainly on commissions.
Naveen, neither of FPA members do support such people and their cold calls and I am not an exception. Since you agreed on making several deposits just because of a bonus which
you thought that it could recover your account, it might not be a problem for you to receive such calls. It doesn't seem to me that you really have a problem with that. It's the opposite, you are calling the company with questions whether you can receive bonuses to recover your losses and allow them to even try to process a transaction from your credit cards. What if they succeed because your bank has decided to lift the limits?!
The links that I sent do not actually state what you are writing. Did you check them up?! It is stated that most BO brokers rely on probabilities rather than cheating clients or opening opposite real market orders because they increase their risks by doing that! Read between the lines...
Here's another
link from Forbes. It is an article where it is perfectly stated how do binary options operate and why this business is so lucrative.
If you successfully manage your risk:reward ratio and collect as much information as possible, if you are carefull in what you're doing and you are patient, there's no doubt you can gain profit. This is the way to turn gambling into trading. If you just rely on someone else and let him/her telling you what to do, you just gamble and here's your biggest mistake. Unlike casinos, where you just rely on probabilities and chances, in the binary options trading you could successfully manage your risks which you have't done. That's why me and the "broker" ( from the chat history ) call this gambling and not investing. You have just acted like playing in a casino.
By "investing" more than $70,000, you should have been more prepared and instead of expecting some profit, you should have expected that you can lose these $70,000 because statistically, the chance to lose them is much more higher than the chance to win a several percents above your total sum of deposits.
I hope that you understand why I take this case seriously. The percent of traders who think that they can gain profits from financial markets ( disregarding of their form ) is much more than these, who think they can lose their savings. The total difference: 95% of traders lose ( these who think they can gain profit ) and only 5% of traders win because they invest wisely and with cautious because in the very next moment, they can be at the zero point.
Initially they begged to deposit and later I did to add bonus for what I deposited. Don't comment without reading the case properly. I asked for bonus for what I deposited and what they promised. This is clearly mentioned in my first post as well.
Excluded me from CEO group, since he again asked me to deposit another 10k, which I didn't. I already mentioned this in one of my above post and you again repeat the same old things, as you don't have any valid points. Also, what is CEO group and non CEO group. This is just gimmicks.
From what I understood till that moment, they had promised you a bonus once you make a deposit. You've made it, you've opted in for a deposit bonus and lost ( this is several times ). Then you've been transferred to the CEO group where you cry for another bonus to recover your losses and leave all profits to the broker ( some nonsense here ). A man explains to you 100 times ( one just get sick from the repetitiveness ) that it is not possible to credit you with a bonus since you've lost your previous deposits and in order to receive a bonus, you must make a new deposit with at least $10,000 in the balance so that they can credit you with such. After so many lies, you process a $10,000 deposit and they credit you with a bonus on top of your $10,000! After several profitable deals, you start to gamble again ( by opening several options with a total loss of about $5,000 which is 50% of your balance when you just don't have any information whether price is going up or down ). You've missed your chance to be in that so-called "CEO group", where you can have some piece of helpful information. Then, you have been asked again to make a deposit so that you can cover your losses which you completely refuse...
Please, tell us where I am wrong? Which part is not true and how did the company actually cheated you?!
Providing you with signals is not cheating at all. Noone has ever given you an investment advice
If I tell that Banc de Binary really cheated you and accept the fact that they are guilty, I must assume that the first person with whom you dealt with is working for that company( there's some proof that he works there, at the very end of the chat convos, although we can argue on that ) and he had intentionally lead you to losing all of your account funds. Then another question comes in...why you stick to that company and you continue to make deposits with them, accumulating losses every time. Shouldn't you stay away from such company which tries to scam you?! Shouldn't you tell your wealthy friends that this company somehow cheated you, instead of promising to refer some of them ?
Once, you tell us that the company cheated you and all you want is people to know that and stay away from it. In the other time, you promise to advertise the company so that you can withdraw or partially recover your losses.
What are you exactly trying to say?!
"Investment advice (e.g unsuitable advice)" and "Quality or lack of information provided to the client " are considered to be scam.
There's a difference between advice ( investment advice ), financial planning, signal ( both free or paid ) and portfolio ( or account ) management.
You have been provided with a signal service which does not include risk management. It is your duty!
