Indicador BOSS - Indicador de Sinais de Opções Binárias rentáveis.

Apresente-lhe o Indicador BOSS, que é projetado para negociação em opções binárias. O indicador mostrou bons resultados no testador de estratégia, sua lucratividade atingiu 68,29% (veja abaixo). O BOSS Indicator não é repintado, e não atrasado, dá um sinal no início da vela atual, após o que o comerciante deve imediatamente comprar a opção PUT ou CALL, dependendo do sinal do indicador.

Características do indicador BOSS.

Plataforma: Metatrader4 Ativo: Par de moedas principais (recomendado EURUSD) Tempo de negociação: 24 horas. 24/5 Prazo: M15 Prazo: 15 minutos Corretor recomendado: Alpari, FinMax.

Regras de comércio pelo indicador de BOSS.

Este vídeo mostra alguns exemplos de negociação por sinais do BOSS Indicator:

Naturalmente, o indicador dará muitos sinais falsos, mas o número de sinais precisos prevalecerá. Isto confirma o teste de histórico do indicador BOSS (EURUSD período 01.01.2012 - 27.02.2015):

Devo dizer que, apesar do fato de que o indicador pode ser usado para todos os principais pares de moedas, mas mostra os melhores resultados em um par EURUSD M15. Nos outros pares resulta pior. Você também pode experimentar outros pares de moedas e prazos. Antes de iniciar a prática de negociação real em uma conta de demonstração.

O BOSS Indicator também é diferente na medida em que implementa o Money Management. Este é o primeiro indicador de opções binárias com essa função. Indicador oferece ao comerciante para fazer o investimento, dependendo do seu depósito atual e rentabilidade do sinal.

Muito importante! Não importa o quão lucrativo não seja indicador, mas você deve entender que 50% do sucesso na negociação depende do corretor.

Binary Comodo - rentável sem indicador de repintura para opções binárias.

Comodo binário é muito fácil de usar indicador de ponteiro para opções binárias. O indicador não é repintado, não é atrasado e mostra bons resultados em negociar pares de moedas em opções binárias. Inclui 3 indicadores técnicos e sistemas de negociação baseados neles. Executa toda a análise de sinais e cálculo matemático da probabilidade de movimento e nos mostra no gráfico apenas o resultado de seus cálculos na forma de uma seta para cima ou para baixo.

Características da Comodo Binária.

Plataforma: Metatrader4 Ativo: Qualquer par de moedas Tempo de Negociação: Sessões Européias e Americanas Prazo: M5 Prazo: 15 minutos Corretor recomendado: Alpari, FinMax.

Regras de comércio por indicador Binário Comodo.

O comércio usando Comodo Binário é muito simples:

Compre Coloque a próxima vela após a seta vermelha direcionada para baixo;

Comprar Ligue para a próxima vela após a seta verde apontando para cima:

Assim, o método de comércio de opções binárias com base no indicador Binário Comodo será particularmente útil para iniciantes e, claro, vai gostar de comerciantes mais experientes. O indicador dá muitos bons sinais, mas também são falsos. Mas a proporção é de aproximadamente 75% - sinais precisos, 25% - sinais falsos (as estatísticas não são precisas). E considerando que temos um indicador com um sinal claro para negociar opções binárias, você obtém o sistema de negociação mais conveniente e lucrativo no período de tempo M5.

Ao negociar, tenha sempre em mente as notícias econômicas mais importantes. E por favor, evite negociar durante os 30 minutos antes e depois do lançamento de notícias importantes. Isso evita perdas indesejadas porque a análise técnica não é capaz de levar em conta fatores econômicos.

Muito importante! Não importa o quão lucrativo não seja indicador, mas você deve entender que 50% do sucesso na negociação depende do corretor. Para uma negociação bem-sucedida com o indicador Binary Comodo, é necessário que o corretor não crie atrasos nas posições de abertura e tenha um spread zero. Isso é um corretor FinMax. Além disso, o FinMax é regulado pelo IFMRRC:

ola daniel consegues fixar o indicador porque em 1m, 5m, 15m repintar o indicador.

Eu contei as flechas em março e vi que tem 85% da taxa de vitória se não repintar é um indicador muito bom. Mas vou ver como isso vai funcionar.

Pode sombedoy confirmar para mim que não repintar?

Daniel, eu quero que você me explique o significado de repintura eu acredito em você, mas quando alguém disse quando nós mudamos TF e voltamos a flecha se movem im ok sim, é jogada, mas se não tocarmos no tf do que trocar o dia todo Nós começamos bom winrate% então, qual é a definição de repintar e não repintar im newbie então você vai ser mais experiente do que eu para me mostrar, do que Daniel para o site ur Etienne.

agradeço novamente pelo indicador e tenha um bom dia.

Olá obrigado pelo indicador intereting. Eu gostaria de olhar para um consultor especialista em forex e CFDs de índice de ações com base no seu indicador Comodo Binário.

Você poderia explicar como funciona ou divulgar uma versão com valores externos (como valor3 e valor 4 sendo igual a 1 quando o sinal está ativado) para uso como um indicador personalizado em um consultor especialista?

Obrigado pelas suas dicas. Comecei a usar o Binary Comodo e gostaria de saber se você recomenda uma configuração diferente, ou devo manter o padrão FastEMA 5 & # 8211; Mais lentoEMA 200 & # 8211; Período RSI 12?

Obrigado novamente.

Olá ! Zona Asie / Euro SlowMA 20 e veja o resultado.

boa irmão. apenas bom.

Você pode fazer o upload do comodo novamente? Link está offline ..

Você está errado. Link funciona.

Obrigado Daniel & # 8230; em relação à Turquia.

Redes de indicadores. Quando você muda para um TF mais alto e volta, o indicador se reposiciona. O mesmo quando você reiniciar o MT4. Então, é difícil dizer se o indicador é útil.

Olá Querido Daniel Quero dizer que usei este indicador no Timeframe M5 e no Exipiry 15mints, mas nenhuma flecha está mostrando Eu ainda estou esperando por meia hora, mas nenhuma flecha está mostrando no MT4 e também nenhum alerta de sinal está vindo? Eu ficarei esperando sua resposta por favor.

Obrigado Caro Daniel.

Oi. Os sinais raramente aparecem. Meia hora é muito pequena para este indicador. Estabelecer o indicador para mais pares de moedas. Então você aumenta a frequência dos sinais.

Olá, querido Daniel como você recomendou M5 TF e expirar 15mints para este indicador eu estou usando isso que você recomendou. agora me diga em que período de tempo ele vai shpw os sinais e também me diga por favor vai este indicador funcionar no MT5? Diga-me, por favor, esperarei sua resposta.

Obrigado querido grande Daniel.

Obrigado por compartilhar. Eu queria saber se isso funciona com prazo de 5 minutos? Olhando para o calendário M5, parece que pode funcionar. A razão que eu perguntei porque às vezes o prazo de 15min pode ser perdido e eu posso apostar na opção Turbo para os próximos 5 minutos.

Use esta plataforma de negociação (há qualquer expiração) e você será feliz.

Obrigado. Ame suas respostas rápidas!

Pela sua experiência, qual indicador você sugere que funciona melhor?

Olá, quero dizer que o indicador é muito bom, o único problema é que a seta aparece no fim da vela, então o tempo na vela segue e durante o tempo que o indicador indica a seta em uma única vez. O prazo para a data de vencimento de 2000 setas no gráfico EUR / USD com o tempo em M1 e o indicador de 66% de Vencimento entrando no final da próxima vela após uma seta com tempo de expiração para 2 minutos. Uma boa dica que aumentará a probabilidade de utilização de Stochast junto com o valor de 66% para 88%, e consequentemente as menos de 100% para 50% ou menos, então o ideal é usar vários pares ao mesmo tempo.

A minha opinião é, para um indicador que o fez melhorar 66% de ganhos.

O indicador é excelente.

TimeFrame: 5 min.

Pares: EURUSD, USDCHF, EURJPY,

EURAUD, USDNZD, GBPUSD.

Alerta de Som: SIM.

Intervalo de sinal: 10 e # 8211; 30 minutos em média.

Sinais Diários: 20 & # 8211; 50

Existe também uma versão para o MT5?

vai usar por uma semana e postar minha experiência.

espero que seja tão bom quanto eles dizem * dedos cruzados *

Você testou este indicador?

Você resultados são bons ou não?

Eu carreguei e em cada seta eu coloquei uma seta extra apenas para ter certeza de que não repintar e sua verdadeira não repintar, de acordo com a taxa de sucesso eu acho que é muito bom, talvez 6 bons sinais de 8 em um minuto de tempo e 15 m exp. apenas com alguns suportes e resistências isso pode ser muito útil.

Oi, você pode por favor deixe-me saber qual deve ser a minha opção tempo de expiração de negociação & # 8220; 60, 90, 180 ou 300 segundos & # 8221;?

Características da Comodo Binária.

Plataforma: Metatrader4 Ativo: Qualquer par de moedas Tempo de Negociação: Sessões Européias e Americanas Prazo: M5 Expiração: 15 minutos Corretora recomendada: uTrader, 24option.

Obrigado pela sua resposta, avise-nos aqui ". Expiry: 15 minutes & # 8221; Significa o que. Preciso manter a minha hora de término da opção em 15 minutos em vez de 16 segundos?

Repaints! Deixá-lo funcionando por um dia, tomei ss de onde as setas vão aparecer pela primeira vez, então quando eu alternei entre as setas desapareceram e reposicionaram.

Eu confirmo que esta seta repinta muito. Você precisa de um bom conhecimento P. A para filtrar os sinais ruins, caso contrário você pode travar sua conta. Ele desaparece se você alternar TF e mercado vai na direção oposta. Eu parei de usá-lo há mais de um ano. Agora eu tenho um bom conhecimento de P. Eu posso dizer quando um indicador errar.

Ele gerou 6 sinais hoje na sessão de Londres, todos eles vencedores no gráfico 5M com 15 minutos de expiração. A única coisa que eu notei é que ele não gera nenhum popup ou som, é normal e pode ser adicionado?

Você pode nos dar a versão 3.0?

Recebi esses sinais durante todo o dia e era como se eu devesse aceitar o comércio oposto do indicador! Você precisa de algum treinamento para ler isto e ver se você deve colocar o comércio ou não "# 8230;

Mas é um bom indicador básico que chama sua atenção para o gráfico & # 8230;

O indicador é REPAINT. Quando você muda, a flecha se foi.

Por exemplo, a seta foi mostrada em 5M TF, depois você mudou para 15M e de volta para 5M novamente, descobriu que a seta em 5M desaparece.

@ Elmosho o que é P. A e como você aprendeu isso?

bonjour, l indicatio fonctionne a 90% sur finmax M1.

Ce n & # 8217; est pas vrai.

P. A = ação de preço. Este indicador nada mais é do que uma média móvel cruzada com um filtro RSI 12. Basta olhar nas configurações de entrada do indicador. Na minha experiência, o RSI 21 é um filtro muito melhor para o Bullish ou o Bearish. A razão pela qual este indicador não dá muitos sinais é porque é baseado em 5 MA e 200 MA. Você obteria melhores resultados com uma configuração de 50 MA e 200 MA para exibir os sinais Cruz de Ouro e Cruz da Morte com um RSI 21 como um filtro de alta ou baixa. Muitos profissionais negociam os crossovers de 50/200. Desculpe, pessoal, não há nenhum indicador mágico que permita substituir sua renda (trabalho) pela negociação de opções binárias. ;-(

Este indicador está em toda a rede, e todos o listam como "não-repintar" # 8221 ;. Bem, touros ** t. Ele recalcula e repinta, sem dúvida, eu assisti fazer isso. Um teste de retorno deste indicador parece realmente bom (mas não perfeito, vá em frente), mas se você carregar o indicador e deixá-lo rodar, verifique todas as indicações e depois desligue-o. Quando você abri-lo novamente, algumas das setas desapareceram e muitas mudaram para outras velas. Isso faz para negociação difícil.

FO DAVID: Eu não tenho certeza se é baseado em um filtro cross e RSI MA, já que esses indicadores não são repintados. Mas vou definitivamente olhar para o RSI 21 com a ideia de 50 e 200 MA!

é repintar seja comerciantes cuidadosos.

Repintura indicadora, não é aquela em que você pode confiar!

Eu verifiquei M1, M5, M15, M30, H1 & amp; D1 prazo e este indicador é 100% repintado. Alguém pode consertar isso para não pintar?

Para todos dizendo que este indicador repintar, vocês não devem ser comerciantes de qualquer espécie. Primeiramente, os prazos não indicam um indicador de repintura. Se você tiver um sinal de subida no gráfico de 1 minuto, ele não aparecerá no gráfico de 1 hora porque este indicador é para a próxima barra. Eu testei isso no testador de estratégia e ele não repinta, mas não posso confirmar se ele dá sinais atrasados ​​ou não, já que o testador de estratégia vai extremamente rápido ou extremamente lento. Boa sorte para todos que o usam!

Edit: Existem sinais atrasados, não um bom indicador.

O indicador é repintar & # 8230; comércio cuidadoso com isso "# 8230 ;.

se cada corpo tem nova versão, por favor envie-me nova versão chefe por e-mail.

o que você chama de indicador não repintar & ndash; é um indicador que não se deteriora quando atualizamos o gráfico & ldquo; infelizmente & ldquo; este indicador é o maior repintado & ldquo;

Existe uma versão do MLQ deste indicador disponível?

Oi Daniel, até mesmo o indicador é por 5 min período de tempo & # 8230; Eu fiz alguns testes em um período de tempo de 1 min, e isso faz maravilhas & # 8230 ;. o problema que encontrei neste caso, é que o indicador envia o alarme, na próxima vela após a seta ser pintada & # 8230; Existe uma maneira .. para configurá-lo assim que o alerta é enviado assim que a seta aparece.

Os lobos de Tel Aviv: o extenso golpe de opções binárias amorais de Israel exposto.

Uma indústria que gera centenas de milhões de dólares, empregando milhares de pessoas, está trapaceando cinicamente ingênuos potenciais investidores em todo o mundo através de uma série de práticas corruptas. Está causando danos terríveis a suas vítimas e corre o risco de fazer o mesmo com a reputação de Israel.

Facebook Twitter email Imprimir 23,2 K ações.

Simona Weinglass é uma repórter investigativa do The Times of Israel.

Quando Dan Guralnek imigrou da Austrália para Israel em 2012, ele não previu se envolver em um esquema internacional de internet.

"Eu sempre quis mudar para Israel", diz Guralnek, que frequentou uma escola judaica em Sydney.

Ele estava trabalhando na administração de uma fábrica na Austrália quando seu chefe morreu repentinamente e, aos 28 anos, ele percebeu que era um bom momento para ele se mudar para Israel. "Eu pensei: 'eu sou livre, sem compromisso, eu posso ir'"

Guralnek se matriculou no Ulpan Etzion de Jerusalém para aprender hebraico, depois mudou-se para a vibrante e movimentada cidade de Tel Aviv, onde conseguiu uma série de empregos de salário mínimo para NIS 25 (pouco mais de $ 6) por hora: cortar legumes em um restaurante, dirigindo uma pessoa com deficiência, trabalhando no turno da noite em uma barraca de cachorro-quente.

Mas em uma cidade com aluguéis altíssimos e um custo de vida em relação aos salários (PDF) perdendo apenas para o Japão, Guralnek não poderia sobreviver. Ele ouviu que empregos em uma indústria chamada opções binárias pagavam o dobro do que ele estava ganhando, mais comissão.

& # 8216; & nbsp; jogos de azar e nós somos um bookie & # 8217; & # 8212; ex-vendedor de opções binárias.

“Assim que comecei a procurar emprego, recebia ligações de empresas de opções binárias todos os dias”, lembra ele. "Eles dominam o espaço de anúncio de emprego."

Nem Guralnek teve qualquer dificuldade em conseguir um emprego.

“Você entra e eles fazem um grande show como se estivessem avaliando se querem ou não você. Mas eles querem você.

No dia em que Guralnek entrou nos luxuosos escritórios de seu novo empregador na cidade litorânea de Herzliya Pituah, ele sabia que havia chegado.

"Havia café grátis, comida de graça", diz Guralnek. “Meu salário era de 7.500 shekels (US $ 1.900) por mês, mais comissão.”

Guralnek estava em um call center com cerca de 50 outros funcionários, muitos dos quais eram novos imigrantes fluentes em vários idiomas. Seu trabalho era chamar as pessoas ao redor do mundo e persuadi-las a "investir". em um produto financeiro ostensivo chamado "opções binárias". Os clientes seriam encorajados a fazer um depósito & # 8212; para enviar dinheiro para sua empresa & # 8212; e, em seguida, usar esse dinheiro para fazer "negócios": os clientes tentariam avaliar se uma moeda ou commodity subiria ou cairia nos mercados internacionais dentro de um certo período de tempo curto. Se eles previram corretamente, eles ganharam dinheiro, entre 30 e 80 por cento da soma que tinham colocado. Se eles estivessem errados, eles perderam todo o dinheiro que eles puseram no negócio. & # 8221; Guralnek logo percebeu que, quanto mais negociações um cliente fazia, mais perto ficava de perder todo o depósito inicial.

Ele havia sido instruído a apresentar a opção binária como um "investimento" e a si mesmo como um "corretor", embora soubesse que eles provavelmente perderiam todo o seu dinheiro. “O cliente não está realmente comprando nada. O que ele está comprando é uma promessa da nossa empresa que vamos pagar a ele. É o jogo e nós somos um bookie, ”ele diz agora.

Antes de começar o trabalho, a empresa deu a Guralnek um curso de vendas de uma semana no qual aprendeu suficiente conhecimento financeiro para soar bem a um cliente que sabia menos que ele. Ele também foi instruído em táticas de vendas de alta pressão.

"Eles nos ensinaram como deixar as pessoas desconfortáveis, como responder a objeções, como mantê-las ao telefone."

A sessão de treinamento era conhecida como "curso de conversão" e o objetivo era aprender como transformar um lead telefônico em um cliente, fazendo o primeiro depósito. Em sua empresa, os vendedores não podiam fazer um depósito de menos de US $ 250.

Durante o curso de vendas, a gerência da empresa deu conselhos a Guralnek que o assombraram mais tarde. "Eles nos disseram para deixar nossa consciência na porta."

Isso é legal?

À medida que as semanas se passaram, mais e mais perguntas se formaram na mente de Guralnek & # 8212; perguntas que sublinhavam o bizarro submundo financeiro em que ele havia entrado. Por que ele não conhecia os sobrenomes de seus gerentes? Por que os trabalhadores eram proibidos de falar hebraico ou trazer celulares para o call center? Quem foi o CEO da empresa? Por que estava tudo bem para a equipe árabe-israelense da empresa vender opções binárias em lugares como a Arábia Saudita, enquanto outros países, como Israel, Estados Unidos e Irã, estavam fora dos limites?

Pior ainda, Guralnek começou a suspeitar que, além das probabilidades pobres que os clientes tinham de ganhar dinheiro, e além das táticas de vendas agressivas, o que a empresa estava fazendo era francamente ilegal.

Por exemplo, todos os vendedores foram convidados a inventar um nome e uma biografia falsos. O call center usava a tecnologia de Voz sobre Protocolo de Internet (VoIP), que exibia um número de telefone local para clientes em qualquer lugar do mundo. O site da empresa listou um endereço em Chipre.

“Disseram-me para dizer às pessoas que eu tinha anos de experiência no mercado, que havia estudado em Oxford e trabalhado para o Bank of Scotland.”

Guralnek diz que lhe disseram para se apresentar como um corretor que fez uma comissão sobre os negócios e para enfatizar quanto dinheiro o cliente poderia ganhar enquanto subestimava o risco. De fato, em vez de ajudar os clientes a fazer transações inteligentes, os "corretores" O verdadeiro interesse era que eles fizessem previsões mal sucedidas e perdessem seu dinheiro.

Guralnek diz que também ficou cada vez mais inquieto com o que aconteceu quando os clientes tentaram sair. É quando eles seriam solicitados por muita papelada.

"Nós diríamos:" Você quer se retirar? ESTÁ BEM. Precisamos confirmar sua identidade antes de liberarmos os fundos. Você precisa nos enviar uma fotocópia da sua conta de luz, sua carteira de habilitação, seu passaporte, seu cartão de crédito ”” & # 8212; requisitos, escusado será dizer, que não tinha sido mencionado quando o cliente colocar dinheiro dentro

Enquanto o cliente estava reunindo e enviando esta documentação, um agente de “retenção” os chamaria e passaria por seus negócios, supostamente descobrindo o que deu errado e convencendo-os a continuar negociando. "Nós poderíamos atrasar essa retirada por um longo tempo."

& # 8216; Por que eu deveria ser culpado por vender algo para pessoas estúpidas? Se alguém tem mais de 18 anos e quer álcool, cigarros, uma faca, uma conta de opção binária, é sua própria responsabilidade & # 8217; & # 8212; Postagem no Facebook.

Se um cliente era persistente, diz Guralnek, muitas vezes a empresa parava de atender suas chamadas, ou enviava um e-mail dizendo "suspeitamos de fraude" e congelamos todos os seus fundos. Como o cliente não sabia o nome real ou a localização do vendedor, "eles não tinham onde recorrer para recuperar o dinheiro", explica Guralnek.

Mas a parte mais sombria do trabalho do jovem imigrante era pedir dinheiro a pessoas que pareciam pobres e desalentadas.

“Eles acreditam que estão fazendo algo de bom: Eles estão fazendo um investimento, fazendo algo responsável. E eles não são. Toda história é triste. Todos têm pessoas dependendo deles. Muitas pessoas estão finalmente se recuperando depois de um problema de drogas ou algo assim.

O pior foi quando um cliente lhe disse: "Estou no hospital".

"Quando alguém diz 'eu estou no hospital e tenho câncer', é suposto que ainda os vendemos". Mas eu jogaria a venda toda vez. Eu não pude fazer isso.

Uma indústria vasta e desonrosa.

Se você digitar as palavras "opções binárias" ou "forex" em grupos do Facebook que atendem a novos olim (imigrantes para Israel), você encontrará longas filas de trocas aquecidas.

"Algum de vocês que está envolvido em opções Forex / Binary percebe que este é um negócio altamente desregulamentado que está solicitando jogos de azar para pessoas mal informadas ou sem educação?", Diz um desses posts no popular grupo Secret Tel Aviv.

"Por que eu deveria ser culpado por vender algo para pessoas estúpidas?", Responde uma mulher. "Se alguém tem mais de 18 anos e quer álcool, cigarros, uma faca, uma conta de opção binária, é sua própria responsabilidade."

“Você venderia para sua avó?”, O pôster original dispara de volta.

No grupo “Keep Olim in Israel Movement” do Facebook, uma mulher escreve: “Oi pessoal, alguém pode me explicar o que são empregos binários e Forex e por que as pessoas são tão anti-trabalhistas nessas indústrias em Israel?”

"Este campo é desonroso", diz uma resposta. “Eu fiz isso e não senti nada além de vergonha e auto-aversão por assediar as pessoas que nunca pediram por essa ligação e tentaram tirar dinheiro delas que é improvável que elas voltem”.

"Se você não gosta, não faça", diz outro. “Trabalhe o que você acha que é um trabalho 'honesto', faça seus 6.000 shekels (aproximadamente 1.500 dólares) por mês, gaste metade do aluguel e viva como um roedor com o resto.” Ele continua: “Enquanto o Binário e A indústria Forex e eu pagamos 50% de impostos sobre nossos salários para pagar seus cuidados de saúde, segurança social e segurança, eu posso falar por todos nós, não precisamos ser julgados. ”

Ninguém parece saber exatamente quão grandes são as opções binárias e as indústrias forex em Israel. Nem mesmo a Autoridade de Valores Mobiliários de Israel, que, quando fez a pergunta, respondeu por mensagem de texto: "Como a indústria ainda não está regulamentada, não temos a visão completa".

Mas estimativas conservadoras colocam o número de pessoas empregadas na indústria em vários milhares, principalmente em Tel Aviv e nos seus subúrbios, como Herzliya e Ramat Gan, enquanto a receita anual pode estar entre centenas de milhões e mais de um bilhão de dólares.

Globalmente, o termo forex normalmente se refere ao comércio legítimo em moeda estrangeira, enquanto as opções binárias são o nome de um instrumento financeiro. No jargão popular israelense, entretanto, “opções binárias” e “forex” são muitas vezes agrupadas como parte da mesma indústria: quando os israelenses se referem a empresas forex, elas geralmente significam empresas que “negociam”; as opções binárias em moedas. Às vezes, os termos Forex e opções binárias são usados ​​de forma intercambiável para se referir a transações rápidas, com tudo ou nada, em uma série de ativos.

Em algumas empresas de opções binárias, a plataforma on-line é manipulada para fornecer resultados falsos que garantem a perda do cliente.

O & # 8220; comércio & # 8221; processo pode funcionar da seguinte forma, The Times of Israel foi dito. Tendo transferido seu primeiro depósito financeiro para a empresa, os clientes entram em uma plataforma de negociação on-line, conforme indicado pelos vendedores da empresa, e colocam dinheiro em uma previsão de que o preço de uma moeda ou mercadoria vai subir ou descer na mercados internacionais em, digamos, os próximos cinco minutos. Se o cliente prevê corretamente, ele lucra com certa porcentagem e a empresa perde dinheiro. Se o cliente estiver errado, ele perde todo o dinheiro que colocou no negócio e a empresa o mantém. Os negociadores de opções profissionais consultados pelo The Times of Israel disseram que mesmo um gênio financeiro não pode prever com confiança o que, digamos, o preço do ouro fará nos próximos cinco minutos; em vez de um investimento, a transação não é mais do que uma aposta.

A deturpação do jogo como investimento responsável seria bastante ruim.

O que é pior, no entanto, e flagrantemente corrupto, o Times of Israel foi dito, é que, em algumas empresas, a casa é dobrada. Uma variedade de artifícios são usados. O potencial pagamento para uma previsão correta é complexo, opaco e calculado para minimizar a perda da empresa. Se um ativo estiver se comportando de maneira previsível, & # 8212; digamos, o preço do cobre começa a subir após um terremoto no Chile & # 8212; a empresa extrairá esse ativo da plataforma on-line. Em algumas empresas de opções binárias, a plataforma on-line é manipulada para fornecer resultados falsos que garantem a perda do cliente.

As estimativas do número de opções binárias e empresas forex em Israel variam de 20 a várias centenas. O IVC Research Center, uma empresa que fornece informações sobre o setor de tecnologia de Israel, estimou em seu anuário de 2015 que existem 100 empresas de comércio on-line em Israel, a esmagadora maioria das quais se enquadra nas categorias de opções forex e binárias. O IVC estima que essas empresas empreguem mais de 2.800 pessoas em Israel. No entanto, o anuário afirma que "é difícil avaliar o tamanho real da indústria de negociação financeira on-line em Israel", em parte porque a indústria é "discreta" e seu "nexo israelense é frequentemente subestimado".

Um relatório de 2014 sobre a indústria de Internet israelense pela incubadora de startups TheTime diz que das 90 empresas de Internet israelenses que ganham receita de US $ 10 milhões ou mais por ano, 15 eram plataformas de negociação online, muitas delas negociando opções binárias e forex. Três destes, de acordo com o relatório, foram avaliados para ter uma receita de pelo menos US $ 100 milhões por ano. Algumas outras empresas da lista incluíam iForex, bForex, AnyOption, 4XPlace, Optionbit e Banc de Binary. Com base nessas avaliações, a indústria de forex e de opções binárias israelenses tem um faturamento anual de centenas de milhões, possivelmente bilhões de dólares.

Quantos são fraudulentos?

Não se sabe qual é a porcentagem de empresas de trading financeiro on-line que se envolvem em práticas antiéticas, ilegais e / ou fraudulentas. Uma distinção que muitas pessoas entrevistaram para este artigo foi entre empresas não reguladas e reguladas.

Várias grandes e mais conhecidas empresas com fundadores israelenses ou grandes operações de vendas e marketing em Israel são regulamentadas em Chipre, o que lhes dá licença para vender produtos financeiros em países individuais da UE, mesmo que não sejam regulamentados nesses países.

Muitas empresas de opções binárias e forex que operam em Israel, no entanto, não são regulamentadas.

Sam C., um imigrante recente de Israel dos Estados Unidos, descreve sua experiência trabalhando em uma empresa de opções binárias desregulamentada no verão passado.

Muitos clientes tinham clicado em um anúncio tentando vender dinheiro em casa. & # 8216; Eles realmente acreditam que eles vão se tornar um milionário apenas fazendo isso & # 8217; & # 8212; ex-funcionário de atendimento ao cliente em uma empresa de opções binárias.

"Eles fazem com que seja extremamente difícil para os clientes sacarem seu dinheiro", diz Sam, que trabalhou no atendimento ao cliente e pediu que seu nome real não fosse usado.

"Você tem que encontrar uma cópia da licença do seu motorista, uma cópia da sua conta e há tantas regras e exigências." Metade das ligações com as quais tive de lidar eram apenas reclamações de pessoas, dizendo que já passaram meses e preciso do meu dinheiro agora. Preciso pagar por isso ou aquilo. Praticamente a empresa simplesmente se recusa a desistir ”.

Na verdade, Sam diz que “não pode confirmar” que qualquer cliente já recebeu pagamento ou retirou seu dinheiro durante seus poucos meses trabalhando na empresa.

“As pessoas telefonavam de volta e ligavam de volta. E, eventualmente, às vezes um dos meus gerentes dizia: "Não atenda mais às ligações dessa pessoa e feche a conta dele." Eles diziam: "Acabamos com ele e com todo o dinheiro". # 8217; não importa. Não ligue mais para ele. '”

A maioria dos clientes da empresa de Sam era dos Estados Unidos, embora seja contra a lei dos EUA que as empresas vendam opções binárias para cidadãos americanos dessa maneira. Clientes adicionais eram da África, Qatar e Arábia Saudita. Muitos clicaram em um anúncio vendendo maneiras de "ganhar dinheiro em casa" ou assistiram a um vídeo que dizia revelar estratégias secretas de investimento.

“A maioria parecia ser & # 8230; a pessoa burra estereotipada ”, lembra Sam. “Você nem percebe que pessoas assim existem fora do cinema. Eles realmente acreditam que eles vão se tornar um milionário apenas fazendo isso. E é quase triste.

Perguntado sobre seus gerentes, Sam disse que eram jovens israelenses que pareciam pensar que era legal enganar as pessoas.

“Eles pareciam ter acabado de assistir 'The Wolf of Wall Street' e queriam imitar os personagens. As brincadeiras que eles teriam, seria como, oh sim, eu não posso acreditar que ele caiu por isso, eu não posso acreditar que você conseguiu investir $ 300.

Sam diz que um de seus gerentes de fato citaria os argumentos de vendas de Leonardo DiCaprio do filme ao vivo, ao telefone, ao tentar vender opções binárias.

& # 8220; & # 8216; Olá, John. Como vai você hoje? Você enviou minha empresa algumas semanas atrás, solicitando informações sobre um investimento que tinha enorme potencial de valorização com muito poucos riscos negativos, & # 8217; ele citaria de memória. & # 8216; Isso soa um sino? '& # 8221;

"Eu achei meio patético, para ser honesto," # 8221; lembra Sam.

Manipulando software.

Em 2013, os Estados Unidos proibiram a comercialização de opções binárias para seus cidadãos, exceto em algumas trocas regulamentadas. Em seu site, a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), uma agência governamental independente dos EUA, alerta os investidores sobre “esquemas fraudulentos envolvendo opções binárias e suas plataformas de negociação. Esses esquemas supostamente incluem recusar-se a creditar contas de clientes, negar reembolso de fundos, roubo de identidade e manipulação de software para gerar negociações com perda. ”

“Negociar opções binárias pode ser uma proposta extremamente arriscada”, alerta outra agência reguladora dos EUA, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), em seu site. “Ao contrário de outros tipos de contratos de opções, o & # 8221; Segundo a FINRA, uma SRO que regulamenta as corretoras membros e os mercados de câmbio, as opções binárias são proposições “tudo ou nada”. Quando uma opção binária expira, ela faz uma quantia de dinheiro pré-especificada ou nada, em cujo caso o investidor perde todo o seu investimento. Negociar opções binárias é ainda mais arriscado por esquemas fraudulentos, muitos dos quais se originam fora dos Estados Unidos ”.

Em Israel, muitas das chamadas empresas “forex” estão realmente vendendo opções binárias, o que significa que um cliente aposta se uma moeda vai subir ou descer, em vez de comprar a moeda, explica Jared K., ex-corretor de Wall Street, ao The Times. de Israel.

“Forex tradicional é que compro a 3,50, vendo a 3,60. Binary forex (isto é, forex no mundo das opções binárias) está dizendo 'se for para 3.60 eu ganho dinheiro, digamos 20% mais do que eu aposto, mas se for para 3.50 ou menor, eu perco '”

A negociação de opções binárias é ainda mais arriscada por esquemas fraudulentos, muitos dos quais se originam fora dos Estados Unidos & # 8212; Aviso do governo dos EUA.

Graham P., que atualmente trabalha em marketing para uma grande empresa de opções binárias regulamentada pelo Chipre, em Tel Aviv, diz que conhece os esforços para manipular software conforme descrito pela CFTC & # 8212; intervenção cínica por firmas de opções binárias para garantir que elas ganhem, o equivalente da indústria de uma roleta fraudada em um cassino.

“Falei com um cara com quem eu potencialmente trabalharia e ele realmente desenvolveu uma plataforma de opções binárias. Ele disse que todos que ele conheceu e que estava interessado em comprar a plataforma (para começar sua própria empresa) queriam que ele criasse uma porta dos fundos ”.

Por “porta dos fundos”, Graham quer dizer que as empresas querem ser capazes de manipular um “trade”; no último minuto, se um cliente ou grupo de clientes parece estar ganhando muito.

“Digamos que 70% dos traders estão, por algum motivo, apostando que o petróleo vai subir. Então, as empresas dizem que, se ganharmos apenas 30%, poderemos manter muito mais dinheiro. E o algoritmo faz isso. É muito fácil dizer ao cliente, oh, a linha ficou um pouco abaixo da sua posição. & # 8221;

Se o cliente trouxer a prova de que o preço do petróleo realmente subiu até o ponto previsto, a empresa indicará as letras miúdas, que afirmam que a empresa possui algoritmos próprios que podem diferir do tempo real.

"As taxas de negociação atribuídas aos ativos em nosso site são aquelas nas quais nossa empresa está disposta a vender opções binárias a seus clientes no ponto de venda," # 8221; lê um aviso típico em muitos sites de opções binárias. "Como tal, eles podem não corresponder diretamente aos níveis de mercado em tempo real no momento em que ocorre a venda de opções."

Graham, cuja empresa é regulada em Chipre, disse que, em sua opinião, “toda a indústria de opções binárias é fraudulenta”. Se for assim, isso representa uma corrupção cínica e sistemática em grande escala - # 8212; superando escândalos tão danosos como a venda ilegal de produtos do Mar Morto por israelenses em quiosques em shoppings ao redor do mundo & # 8212; impensadamente permitido florescer, com repercussões potenciais extremamente graves para Israel.

Por alguma razão louca, é legal na Europa. Nações europeias individuais estão deixando as opções binárias voarem. Enquanto países como os Estados Unidos cheiraram a besteira há muito tempo e a tornaram ilegal ”.

Graham disse que, no nível do intestino, ele gostaria de ver o setor fechado, mas está preocupado.

“Há tanto dinheiro entrando na cidade; é literalmente uma indústria aqui & # 8212; Estou incluindo forex também. Provavelmente está pagando pelo sistema de metrô que estamos instalando. Você pode imaginar milhares de pessoas em Tel Aviv desempregadas?

"Uma má reputação"

Chaya Berkowitz, uma veterana de oito anos de empresas forex em Israel, diz ao Times of Israel que sua própria experiência na indústria tem sido boa. “Eu não sou indiferente. Estou ciente de que tem uma reputação muito ruim. Eu não acho que 100% é justificado. ”

Berkowitz afirma que existem empresas legítimas no setor e divulga os nomes FXCM, Alpari e FXPro, nenhum deles baseado em Israel.

“Se você tem dez empresas forex, provavelmente seis ou sete delas têm má reputação, o que dá aos outros uma má reputação. É lamentável, porque os outros levam seus negócios a sério e se importam com os clientes ”, diz ela.

Perguntado se aqueles seis ou sete são culpados de fraude, Berkowitz afirma: "Eu não diria que eles estão cometendo fraudes. Eles têm a reputação de mentir para seus clientes e publicidade enganosa. Isso definitivamente existe, mas há uma razão pela qual algumas das grandes corretoras ainda estão por aí. É porque eles costumam jogar pelo livro & # 8212; caso contrário, eles não estão por aí por muito tempo ”.

Berkowitz estima que, em empresas legítimas de divisas, dois ou três de cada dez clientes ganham lucros e podem facilmente sacar seu dinheiro. Perguntada sobre como saber se uma empresa é legítima, ela diz: "Eu procuraria uma regulamentação mais rígida, e não uma empresa regulada em alguma ilha em algum lugar, mas regulada no Reino Unido, nos Estados Unidos ou na Austrália".

Chipre, ela afirma, tornou-se mais rigorosa nos últimos anos. "Está se tornando uma agência reguladora mais reconhecida".

“Eu também perguntaria a amigos ou outros investidores. A palavra pessoal é enorme. Eu faria meu dever de casa. Procure online para ver quem tem uma boa reputação. Gostaria de fazer perguntas ao pesquisar um corretor. Eu tenho acesso fácil ao meu dinheiro? Você oferece educação?

Enrolando os clientes em.

Depois de obter seu mestrado em Israel e se casar com uma israelense, Lynne R., uma californiana nativa, começou a procurar emprego, mas ficou decepcionada com o que estava por aí.

“Foi realmente chocante para mim, uma vez que comecei a ir a empresas, descobrir quão baixos os salários eram. Eu queria encontrar algo mais competitivo, mais parecido com o que eu estava ganhando nos Estados Unidos. ”

As pessoas mencionaram a Lynne que os trabalhos de opções binárias pagavam bem. Ela postou o fato de que ela estava olhando para alguns sites de emprego no Facebook, e "eu provavelmente tinha 25-30 pessoas ligar para marcar entrevistas".

Lynne foi em cinco ou seis entrevistas, onde ela aprendeu que era elegível para dois tipos de trabalhos.

“Há conversão e retenção. Para os trabalhos de conversão, eles estavam me dizendo que eu ganharia cerca de 15.000 shekels (US $ 3.850) por mês e, para trabalhos de retenção, eles me disseram que eu poderia ganhar de 30.000 a 40.000 (US $ 7.700 a US $ 10.250) por mês.

Em cada entrevista, Lynne examinou extensivamente a natureza do trabalho. Cada empresa tem seus próprios métodos de marketing, muitas vezes envolvendo vídeos que contam a história de uma pessoa que aprendeu um método secreto de extrair dinheiro do mercado, diz ela. Uma firma disse a ela que atraía clientes com um robô "& # 8221 ;:

“Eles disseram que, basicamente, usamos um programa, que chamamos de robô. Nós comercializamos isso para as pessoas e dizemos que pode fazer pequenos negócios para você, como US $ 100 ou US $ 200, e há um programa da Internet que faz, você sabe, um pouco de mágica e faz algumas centenas de dólares extras por mês. "

O trabalho de Lynne seria chamar pessoas que pagaram US $ 200 para usar o robô e persuadi-los a aprofundar seu envolvimento.

& # 8220; Você os chama e diz: "Bem, você tem esse robô, mas não é realmente um ótimo programa"; foi vendido a você por uma afiliada nossa. Se você quer ganhar muito dinheiro, precisa começar a negociar, e podemos dizer-lhe como. Somos comerciantes especializados. Tudo o que você precisa fazer é fazer um depósito maior, e você terá uma conta personalizada conosco e com um trader pessoal. Tudo que você precisa fazer é fazer um depósito de $ 500 e nós vamos começar. ”

Lynne foi finalmente oferecido um trabalho de retenção, e foi matriculado em um curso de formação de duas semanas. A primeira coisa que lhe disseram foi para nunca revelar que ela estava ligando de Israel. Toda a equipe de retenção foi solicitada a posar como corretores treinados trabalhando em um escritório em Londres. Eles foram obrigados a retocar o tempo do dia em Londres, bem como o que estava acontecendo nos noticiários.

“Você teve que se fazer uma biografia. Você precisava pensar em uma escola de negócios e dizer que foi para lá. Você precisava dizer que era um negociante, que havia trabalhado para um banco de investimentos ou para Wall Street. Se você é uma mulher, eles o incentivam a dizer que você é solteiro porque os rapazes provavelmente depositarão com você. Se você é um cara, você quer ter uma esposa e dois filhos, porque isso faz você se relacionar.

A empresa, ela disse, foi regulamentada em Chipre. “A indústria é certificada para a Europa, mas você não é fortemente regulamentado. É uma forma de ser credenciado pela UE sem muita supervisão. ”(A Finance Magnates, uma publicação comercial da indústria de comércio financeiro on-line de Israel, escreveu no passado que Chipre tem uma reputação de regulamentação frouxa.)

& # 8216; Quando oferecemos treinamento para eles, compartilhamos a área de trabalho deles e os orientamos pelo site. Foi-nos dito que procurássemos a sua área de trabalho por pornografia, slots online ou outros sinais de comportamento compulsivo, porque isso significa que é mais provável que façam um depósito & # 8217; & # 8212; antigo agente de retenção de opções binárias.

Lynne diz que o ponto de venda de sua empresa, sobre o qual se gabava, era que era mais ético do que outras empresas de opções binárias. "Se alguém pedisse para sacar seu dinheiro, nós o daríamos dentro de 48 horas", diz ela.

Quando Lynne começou a brincar com a plataforma de opções binárias de sua empresa, ela percebeu que era divertido e viciante, "quase como um jogo de azar".

Houve muita adrenalina.

“Se você colocar dinheiro em sua conta de investimento hoje, isso pode gerar retornos de 3% a 6%. No binário, você vê 70% chegando imediatamente. ”

Se fosse esperado que os agentes de conversão fizessem com que um cliente fizesse seu primeiro depósito, os agentes de retenção, como Lynne, receberam a tarefa de trazer o grande dinheiro. O primeiro passo foi dimensionar o cliente.

"Eles nos disseram para procurar as casas das pessoas no Google Maps para ver o quanto elas pareciam ricas e verificar suas informações de cartão de crédito para ver se tinham status de ouro ou platina. Além disso, quando oferecemos treinamento para eles, compartilhamos a área de trabalho deles e os percorremos pelo site. Fomos informados para [abusar desse acesso e] procurar em sua área de trabalho por pornografia ou caça-níqueis on-line ou outros sinais de comportamento compulsivo, porque isso significa que eles são mais propensos a fazer um depósito. ”

“Você liga para alguém e diz que meu nome é Jane Smith. Estou ligando de Londres, onde sou banqueiro de investimentos para essa empresa incrível. Estou ligando para falar sobre o quanto você realmente quer fazer. Vimos que você investiu US $ 300, mas sabemos que US $ 300 não farão nada para você. Então, o que você realmente quer fazer daqui a um ano?

“Então, as pessoas diziam: 'Eu quero ganhar $ 100.000'. 'Eu quero comprar uma casa' ou 'quero viajar'.” # 8221;

“Eles dizem algo que eles querem e então você diz: 'então você levará 6-8 meses para conseguir isso. Se você quiser alcançá-lo, você precisa negociar todos os dias. Eu vou trabalhar com você. Eu vou lhe dar informações sobre quais escolhas fazer todos os dias.

Lynne disse que o "corretor" faria check-in com os clientes regularmente, incentivando-os, ensinando-os sobre o mercado e oferecendo dicas. Quando o corretor escolheu uma ação para apostar, as ações geralmente se comportariam como prometido. Quando eles chegaram na plataforma e fizeram suas próprias escolhas, eles começaram a perder. Então o corretor voltaria e os ajudaria a fazer boas ligações, e eles ganhariam novamente.

"Então, basicamente, você se depara como um grande profissional, mas na realidade você está apenas tentando fazer com que o volume de negócios seja o mais alto possível."

O próximo passo, lembra Lynne, foi pedir um depósito de US $ 10.000.

"Os clientes costumam recusar e dizer: 'Não é possível depositar US $ 10.000'. Então você os pressiona e diz: 'Se você não está realmente empenhado em ganhar dinheiro, por que estamos falando agora?' Os comerciantes tentam tudo. Alguns são realmente doces, alguns tentam se identificar com eles, alguns tentam fazê-los se sentirem estranhos & # 8212; seja qual for a técnica que os faça depositar. A técnica favorita é dizer: "Se você depositar US $ 5.000, eu lhe darei um bônus de US $ 5.000." Os clientes ouvem isso e dizem "Isso é loucura". Eu vou depositar. '”

Mas o bônus, explica Lynne, é uma armadilha.

“Você não tem permissão para sacar qualquer parte do seu dinheiro até que você use esse bônus em dinheiro de 30 a 40 vezes. Digamos que eu lhe dê um bônus de US $ 1.000. Você precisaria negociar isso até obter um lucro de pelo menos US $ 30.000, e então pode sacar seu dinheiro. Mas você nunca chegará a essa quantia. Vamos dizer que você ganha US $ 10.000 com isso e diz que quer se retirar, no contrato ele diz que você não pode desistir. Você pode retirar seu dinheiro original, mas não pode levar o bônus ou o dinheiro que ganhou com o bônus. ”

“Assim, os clientes ficam presos no sistema, porque não querem perder todo o seu dinheiro e, quando trocam 30 vezes o valor do bônus, perdem tudo.”

Quanto mais tempo você troca, mais dinheiro perde, diz Lynne. "Você não pode ir tão longe normalmente e ter sucesso."

No entanto, Lynne diz novamente, com sua empresa, se você resistiu à tentação de receber o bônus, e se você fizer um pedido, a empresa lhe enviará seu dinheiro.

“Eles realmente se gabavam do fato de que eram bons em dar às pessoas seu dinheiro imediatamente. De fato, eles encorajaram as pessoas a fazer pequenas retiradas. If a customer had $10,000, they would say, why don’t you take $2,000 and take your wife on a small trip? It’s very calculated with how much they’re giving out and how much leeway to try to give the customers.”

Lynne quit her binary options job soon after the training course because she said she couldn’t stomach taking the savings of “schoolteachers and truck drivers.” Asked whether she thought what she had been assigned to do was unethical or illegal, she replies: “It was certainly unethical. When I tell people about this job, they are shocked. They say, that could never be legal, there’s no way Israel would ever allow that.”

‘Economic terrorism’

In November 2014 a man by the name of Ariel Marom, who described himself as a former employee of several companies in the forex industry, sent a strongly worded letter to both the Finance and the Ethics committees of the Knesset, as reported in Israel’s financial daily Globes.

“I am calling on the regulator in charge of banking services and the Knesset Finance Committee to immediately take action to stop the wave of plundering, theft, fraud, money laundering, and crime on an international scale that is managed and operated in Israel that is hurting thousands of customers around the world.”

Marom described the forex industry as “economic terrorism” targeting the citizens of many countries.

“When this information becomes public knowledge through investigative reports by the media, which is bound to happen sooner or later, Israel’s status in the world will be damaged and it will unleash a wave of hatred toward the Jewish people and Israel, causing tremendous damage.”

‘When this information becomes public knowledge through investigative reports by the media… Israel’s status in the world will be damaged and it will unleash a wave of hatred toward the Jewish people and Israel, causing tremendous damage’ & # 8212; letter sent to Knesset committees.

Marom said in the letter that he had been searching for a job in recent months and as a Russian speaker had interviewed with forex companies that operate in Israel and target customers abroad. He said he was surprised at the sheer magnitude of the fast-growing industry.

“There are hundreds of jobs currently available to Arabic, Russian, English, Spanish and French speakers as these companies seek new workers for their expanding departments.”

Marom added that after years in the traditional banking industry, he was shocked at the practices he witnessed in several forex companies.

“In the absence of any regulation, they are simply robbing customers. Many people compare forex to a casino, but it’s worse than a casino. A casino hands you your winnings immediately. Forex companies — and I’m talking about most of them — simply do not allow people to withdraw money.”

Marom goes on: “Many forex customers have no idea that the company operates from Israel, especially when we’re talking about the Arabic-speaking desks. Their complaints never reach our justice system and so the industry is not exposed. How is it possible that this has been happening for years, with no local regulation? What happens when thousands of Turks, Russians, Spaniards, Italians and French figure out that the scam they fell for was carried out from here, in Israel? Are our regulators waiting for synagogues to start blowing up all over the world to shut this thing down?”

It is not clear what the Knesset Finance Committee did in response to Marom’s letter. The Times of Israel tried to track Marom down, but the CEO of FeeX, a high-tech startup he used to blog for, said he had not heard from Marom for a few years and had no contact information. Marom’s LinkedIn profile placed him at a high-tech company in Brazil where no one who answered the phone seemed to speak English. A phone call to an “Ariel Marom” listed near Haifa was answered by a woman who said her husband is an astronomer, not a finance professional.

“You’re the third journalist who has called looking for Ariel Marom in the last two weeks,” she said. “Now I’m curious.”

The Times of Israel asked for the help of SixGill, a cybersecurity high-tech firm that specializes in the dark web, to track down Marom, but after a brief automated search, Tommy Ben-avi, a senior analyst at Sixgill, concluded that either “Ariel Marom is not his real name or he doesn’t want to be found.”

The cyber intelligence company did, however, make some interesting observations about the forex and binary options industries. Ben-avi mentioned several companies known to be operating from Israel.

“This industry is a bit shady. It’s hard to get to the owners and CEOs of some of these companies. Most of the time, when you have a company that large, you can see the owner, you can see the shareholders.”

Ben-avi conducted an automatic search with a system that scours hundreds of thousands of sites and closed dark web forums. “It seems like they’re trying to hide their identity. Maybe a few companies have the same owner, and they want to hide that fact,” he mused. “Or maybe their business is not 100 percent legitimate.”

How it’s done on Wall Street.

Jared K., a licensed stockbroker from the United States who now lives in Tel Aviv, says that he sees several problems with the local forex and binary options industries.

“On Wall Street, brokers are regulated, transactions are regulated, the money is regulated. Where is it coming from and where is it going? There are rules as to how someone can access money in a claim.”

‘I am shocked that Israel hasn’t shut this down’ & # 8212; US-licensed stockbroker who lives in Tel Aviv.

Furthermore, says Jared, in the United States, a license to sell securities or handle client investments would require a person to meet certain ethical standards. If they don’t look out for the best interest of their client’s investments, it is a criminal offense.

“On Wall Street I can’t put someone in an investment that doesn’t fit them. That is fraudulent. If I called up your parents and said put money in this investment and they lost it all, in theory I could be arrested and go to jail.

“Binary doesn’t have that, there are no repercussions. What happens if someone loses money? Nothing.”

“I am shocked that Israel hasn’t shut this down,” he sums up.

A product that invites fraud.

Yaron Zelekha, Israel’s former accountant-general, became known as the country’s foremost whistle-blower in 2007 when he exposed the financial improprieties of a sitting prime minister, Ehud Olmert.

‘I personally would not advise any Israeli to trade with any of these companies’ & # 8212; Yaron Zelekha, Israel’s former accountant-general.

Zelekha told The Times of Israel that he doesn’t want to tar all its players with the same brush, but that binary options and some instruments related to forex are designed in a way that creates a strong incentive for fraud.

“There is a very wide information gap between the public and these players, and they are exploiting it to their advantage. The broker is not giving you a service like in a bank; he is personally betting against you. This is a flagrant conflict of interest, because you’re betting on something, and the person reporting the outcome wants you to lose.”

Such circumstances invite fraud, says Zelekha, and “there is no small number of companies that simply defraud the customer. Sometimes that fraud is very sophisticated.”

Asked whether the entire industry should be shut down, Zelekha responds, “There is no need to throw out the baby with the bathwater, although I personally would not advise any Israeli to trade with any of these companies.”

What the industry does need, he says, is real-time regulation. He says there is software that can now do real-time monitoring of a company’s transactions.

“The Israel Securities Authority (ISA) must have real-time access to these companies’ computer systems.”

Zelekha says the ISA has fought a long battle to regulate the online financial trading industry. “They deserve credit for their efforts, although the regulation won’t be effective if it isn’t done in real time.”

ISA: ‘We probably won’t allow binary options’

The Israel Securities Authority is housed in a 1920s Eclectic-style building in one of Tel Aviv’s loveliest neighborhoods, near the stock exchange. Itzik Shurki, director of the ISA’S Exchange and Trading Platforms Supervision, is a soft-spoken man, but he has harsh words for binary options.

Shurki says a new law to regulate online financial trading industries went into effect in May 2015. The companies that wanted to continue to offer their products to Israeli customers had to request a license from the ISA. Twenty-one companies requested licenses. One was disqualified, because its controlling shareholder, Aviv Talmor, had fled to Cyprus to escape arrest for alleged financial misdeeds. Talmor has since returned to Israel and is currently under house arrest. Two other companies withdrew their applications, leaving 18. Of these, four are primarily binary options companies, while the others seek to offer other types of CFDs, or contracts for differences, as well.

‘With binary options we’ve already informed the companies that our intention is probably not to approve this product’ & # 8212; Itzik Shurki of the Israel Securities Authority.

Almost a year later, none of the applicants has been approved. Shurki says that the industry is currently in a transition period while the ISA reviews the applicants. During this period, the 18 companies have permission to continue to operate.

“If we decide yes, they will become fully regulated companies; if we decide no, they will have to stop their operations.”

Which way is the ISA leaning? “With binary options we’ve already informed the companies that our intention is probably not to approve this product. Its basis is problematic. Because ultimately — I don’t want to use the word ‘gambling’ because it is a financial product — but in the way it is offered and in the short time frame, and with all its complexity, in our view it brings it closer to a guessing game than a financial product where you can evaluate its worth.”

CFDs, or contracts for differences, a high-risk financial instrument that is also banned in the United States except on registered security exchanges, will be allowed in Israel, says Shurki. However, Shurki says CFDs will be regulated in real-time and aggressive or deceptive sales tactics will be rendered illegal. The ISA will monitor the prices of every product offered to make sure they are transparent and fair; traders will need to be licensed; and traders will also be prohibited from offering advice or tips to their customers.

“You can’t be in a position to give advice when their earnings are your loss,” Shurki explains.

This all sounds quite impressive. Once the ISA makes it decision, one might be forgiven for thinking, the binary options fraudsters will be out of business. But there’s a catch — a great big catch that potentially excludes the overwhelming proportion of binary options trading from effective supervision in Israel: The new regulations apply only to companies that target Israeli customers. If a binary options or forex company targets customers abroad exclusively, it will not be regulated by the ISA. Thus, to ensure that the new law not apply to them, companies need only exclude Israeli clients.

A quick visit to the websites of several binary options firms does indeed prompt messages saying the service is not available to Israelis.

Shurki says he is aware that the new regulations will not solve the problem of call centers that are defrauding people abroad, but says that such activity is not under the ISA’s jurisdiction, in the same way that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) only protects British citizens and the CFTC only protects Americans.

“If an American company tried to sell securities to Israelis, it would be our job to protect our citizens, not the Americans’ responsibility,” he explains, although he adds that the ISA does have very good information exchanges with its foreign counterparts.

Yes, but when an Israeli company steals from people in another country, is that not a crime?

“It is a crime,” says Shurki, but it’s not a crime for his authority to investigate. “There’s no such thing as a vacuum of authority. If an Israeli commits fraud or misrepresentation, that’s the purview of the Israel Police.”

The French connection.

Perhaps nowhere is the hand-wringing and acrimony over Israel-based forex and binary options trading more anguished than in the community of French Jews living in Israel.

In January of this year, a cover story of the French-language “Israel Magazine,” a monthly glossy magazine and website serving the French-speaking community in Israel and the Diaspora, was titled, “Forex, is it kosher?”

‘A generation of young people is in the process of perverting themselves into worshipers of the golden calf’ & # 8212; journalist in a piece warning about Forex.

In the introduction to the piece, journalist Andre Darmon writes, “The point of this article is not to point a finger at some of our fellow citizens or co-religionists, because the phenomenon is global, but to raise awareness that a generation of young people is in the process of perverting themselves into worshipers of the golden calf. And that earning a living does not mean everything is permissible!”

“These call centers hire lost young souls,” writes journalist Ilana Mazouz in Alliance, a French-Jewish Internet magazine, “many who do not speak Hebrew or English, and for a short time provide the illusion of a normal life in Israel.”

Some rabbis have forbidden people from working in the industry, calling it “theft,” while rabbinic lectures on the Internet in French bear titles like “Forex, dirty work and Amalek.”

Again, numbers are hard to come by for how many young French speakers are employed in the industry. Didier F., a French-Jewish businessman, told The Times of Israel that after he graduated from the IDC-Herzliya, many of his fellow students were recruited by forex and binary options companies.

Didier asserts that many owners of forex websites are members of a French-Jewish community of conmen who are hiding from French law enforcement in Israel, where the police, he alleges, don’t bother them over-much.

As previously reported in The Times of Israel, about 10 recent immigrants from France were charged last year with cyber crimes and telephone scams, while France has reportedly sent Israel 70 additional formal requests for judicial assistance for cases of suspected fraud. A movie was recently made in France about one of these alleged fraudsters. The movie is called “Je Compte sur Vous, French for “I’m counting on you.”

“I love when they say French aliyah has increased so much; now it’s 7,000 people,” says Didier. “It’s great, I’m happy about it. But then you see that many of them are working in the forex industry or binary options industry. You go to Tel Aviv today, when you say to someone in the French community, I work in finance, they immediately think that you work in this shit.”

Adds Didier: “Even if it’s a small amount of money, they’re stealing money from poor people. It’s destroying families. Some people have killed themselves.”

According to a report in Le Nouvel Observateur, a French news weekly, l’Autorite des Marches Financiers, the French securities authority, received a staggering 4,500-plus complaints about forex and binary options fraud in 2014. Those forex and binary options complaints constituted 37 percent of all complaints about securities fraud received by the authority in that year. The majority of the forex transactions that prompted those complaints originated in Israel, the article claims.

What does Google have to do with this?

There is yet another piece of the binary options empire, and it relates to the way Israeli firms manage to reassure customers of their ostensible integrity, via Google.

Let’s say you are a potential binary options customer. A company has approached you about making a deposit, but you are not sure, so you decide to do your homework. You Google, “Are binary options legitimate?”

You will get a list of results, one or two of which may be fraud warnings from the US regulatory body, the CFTC. The first few pages of search results, however, are dominated by sites that purport to warn you away from “scam” binary options sites and steer you toward legitimate ones. Upon closer examination, however, many of these “helpful” sites themselves turn out to be affiliates of the binary options companies.

Next, you might Google, “Are binary options legal in the United States?” Once again, many of the top results turn out to be websites affiliated with the industry itself, rather than an objective source of information. Some of these sites offer misleading statements and half-truths like “There are at this moment no laws both on the federal and state level that forbid US citizens from trading binary options online.”

US law banning binary options is directed at the companies that market them, not the customers who buy them, so there is some truth in that statement. However, the SEC and CFTC clearly warn investors that “they may not have the full safeguards of the federal securities and commodities laws if they purchase unregistered binary options that are not subject to the oversight of U. S. regulators.”

Many countries, including Canada, publish updated lists of unregistered binary options companies that solicit customers in Canada in violation of the law. A recent Canadian list is here. The list features 37 companies. The Times of Israel went to the website of each company on this list. Some were no longer in operation. Others blocked users from Israel (presumably to avoid trouble with the Israel Securities Authority). One now hosts a porn site. Most were hard to pin down to a geographic location. However, based on first - and secondhand sources, The Times of Israel suspects that more than half of these companies, if not the overwhelming majority, operate from Israel.

“Investing with offshore companies operating outside of Canada can be risky and is a common red flag of investment fraud,” the Canadian Securities Authority warns. Yet if you Google “Canada, binary options, blacklist,” once again, many of the top search results appear to be industry-affiliated sites, some of which recommend as legitimate the very same sites that are on the Canadian government’s blacklist.

Bryan Seely, a Seattle-based cybersecurity expert, tells The Times of Israel he is not surprised to hear of these Google search results, which, he explains, show Google’s search engine being manipulated.

“Google doesn’t make a point of censoring stuff; you can find drugs, you can find steroids, you don’t have to go to the Silk Road. Google indexes the Internet and ranks things where it ranks them.”

Asked why, if this industry allegedly has so many victims, their voices don’t show up higher in Google rankings, Seely says, “the victims aren’t as good at promoting what happened to them as the people in the binary options industry are at promoting the stuff they’re selling. The victims aren’t all going to each other’s pages” — so each victim’s page would typically have only a low Google ranking.

Seely, who has been battling to raise public awareness of massive search engine manipulation in the locksmith industry — another area, incidentally, where systemic fraud in the United States, with large-scale Israeli involvement, has caused scandal in recent years — adds, “here’s the underlying issue: Is Google safe to use? Or Bing?”

What he’s really asking, when it comes to the binary options industry, is whether searching Google will lead a potential investor who fears being defrauded to the independent, credible and accurate information he is seeking. The answer, it would appear, is no.

Search engine optimization and the secret of success.

Over the last decade, Israel earned the nickname “start-up” nation for its high-tech prowess. But not many people are aware that the country is also a global leader in online marketing and search engine optimization (SEO), an expertise it acquired in the “shadow industries” of porn, online gambling and binary options, according to TheTime’s 2014 report on the Israeli Internet industry. That expertise has plainly been applied by fraudulent binary options firms, whose affiliated sites show up high in Google searches — sending unsuspecting and naive clients their way.

Yoni S., an Israeli high-tech entrepreneur and SEO consultant, explains that without effective SEO, a fraudulent local player remains local, defrauding perhaps a few hundred victims in his vicinity. But with the power of Internet marketing, the scammer’s reach can go global.

The Times of Israel sent Google a request for an interview about the manipulation of its search platform by allegedly fraudulent businesses in the binary options industry, but Google did not respond.

What do the police have to say?

The Times of Israel contacted the Israel Police repeatedly to ask them about alleged fraud in the forex and binary options industries. Their answers underlined how law enforcement is struggling to grapple with the soaring, fast-moving challenge of Internet crime.

“If there are investigations going on into fraud, etc., I don’t have information on this. If someone has filed a complaint to the police, then let me know,” Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld replied.

A second police spokesperson, Luba Samri, told The Times of Israel, “We got lost in your question. Please focus it more. Who filed a complaint against whom?”

Finally, The Times of Israel called a third spokesperson, Merav Lapidot, and asked her what the police are doing about suspected fraud on a vast scale in the forex and binary options industries in Israel.

“This is something you’re claiming. If no one has complained about it, there is no issue. You want us to check every company in Israel and see if by chance they are committing crimes?”

Told that people who worked inside the industry have described widespread potentially fraudulent behavior on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars, affecting tens of thousands of people, Lapidot replied: “But no one has complained. I don’t know what happens in every company. That’s not our job. You could start a business tomorrow selling jewelry over the Internet. Will the police come to investigate your business?”

To the suggestion that there may be thousands of victims abroad, Lapidot said, “If there is someone who complained, we need to check that specific complaint. We’re not going to check a whole issue.”

Is it possible that an entire industry, much of it allegedly corrupt, is slipping through the cracks between Shurki’s Israel Securities Authority, which doesn’t handle crimes hatched in Israel whose victims are abroad, and the police, which won’t act unless specific complaints are filed with them?

Zvika Rubins, a PR consultant for the Israel Securities Authority, says the law simply hasn’t caught up with the dubious and crooked methods people have devised to make money on the Internet.

“When you talk about bits and bytes, it’s not that simple. Was there a crime? Where did it take place? For instance, let’s say you have a company and it’s incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its servers are in India and it has a trading room in Israel. Is it an Israeli company? I don’t know.”

Rubins, who stresses that he is not an expert on criminal law, muses that if someone in Israel commits a crime against someone in, say, France, over the Internet, then it might be the responsibility of the French to open an investigation, trace the crime to Israel, and approach the Israeli police about it.

Yoni S., the SEO expert, is outraged by this approach. “In Israel it’s against the law to murder, but if I establish a company in Israel that murders people through the Internet in Malaysia, that’s okay?”

Seely sees the problem as extremely serious and growing: “We’re becoming a global culture and global economy, and physical borders don’t exist on the Internet. It’s become easier to scam people all over the world. We have no protections in place to prevent it and it’s getting worse.”

“It’s a jungle out there,” says Yoni, referring to the fact that people do all sorts of things on the Internet that would be illegal within their own borders.

“The Internet came in, no one has passed any regulation yet, and now there is an opportunity to make tons of money in the jungle.”

A response from inside the industry.

Tali Yaron-Eldar, Israel’s income tax commissioner from 2002 to 2004, in 2007 founded eTrader, a binary options firm that targets Israelis, along with Shay Ben-Asulin, who also co-founded AnyOption, one of Israel’s largest binary options companies with revenues in the tens of millions of dollars. In 2011, Ben-Asulin was indicted by the United States for securities fraud, and last month he was convicted of fraud by an Israeli court for helping an Israeli credit card company, ICC-CAL, illegally clear billions of shekels of charges from porn, binary options and gambling websites, as well as conceal the number of canceled transactions. For his crimes, Ben-Asulin will do five months of community service and pay a fine of less than $1 million.

In a 2014 interview (Hebrew) with Israel’s Channel 10 news, when asked if she was discomfited by the fact of young demobilized soldiers and old pensioners losing all their money trading binary options, Yaron-Eldar responded: “Ask the people who invested and lost their money. All of them knew they were entering something risky.”

The Times of Israel contacted Yaron-Eldar to ask her about alleged fraud within the binary options industry.

To the extent that this is true, she said, it applies to unregulated companies.

“The companies with a license are very careful,” ela diz. “AnyOption [a company she is associated with] has a Cypriot license. It is very careful to follow the law. It is being watched all the time.”

In Yaron-Eldar’s view, and contrary to the opinions of other people interviewed for this article, Cypriot regulation is very tough, on a par with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Asked about the fact that the Canadian government has included AnyOption on a list of companies illegally soliciting Canadian citizens, Yaron-Eldar replies, “Not that I am aware of.”

In fact, Yaron-Eldar insists that AnyOption is not an Israeli company at all.

“AnyOption does not have offices in Tel Aviv. It’s a company that operates from Cyprus.”

Indeed, a perusal of anyoption reveals no references to Israel. Nevertheless, it is no secret that hundreds of employees go to work each day at AnyOption’s offices at 38 Habarzel Street in Tel Aviv’s Ramat Hachayal neighborhood. How does she explain this discrepancy?

“They’re not working for the same company,” ela diz. “They’re working for AnyOption Israel, not AnyOption Cyprus. The company they work for is a service provider to the company in Cyprus.”

In other words, AnyOption (like many other binary options companies with similar corporate structures) is not in fact an Israeli company, according to Yaron-Eldar’s reasoning. This means that it, and many others like it, is subject to Cypriot law and regulation, not Israeli law. Since much of the regulated part of the binary options industry is subject to Cypriot regulation, the honesty or dishonesty of those firms may hinge on the strength and honesty of Cypriot law enforcement.

Where are the victims?

The Times of Israel contacted the FBI to see if anyone had complained about forex or binary options call centers in Israel, but the agency did not respond.

ASIC, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, replied in an email, “We don’t comment on operational matters, this includes confirming or denying if we have received complaints about a particular matter or not.”

A French government spokeswoman, however, confirmed that France has been having problems with forex fraud emanating from Israel.

“Yes, there are some cases of fraud, as you say,” ela disse. “Forex is not per se a fraud but it can be used for fraudulent objectives. We have had some cases between France and Israel, and we are in touch with the Israeli authorities about this. There is a very good cooperation between the two countries and the two services on this issue.”

Back to Australia.

Ariel Marom, the mysteriously disappeared former forex employee who wrote that anguished 2014 letter to the Knesset, warned of the fallout when the extent of the corruption in the binary options industry in Israel is exposed.

“What happens when thousands of Turks, Russians, Spaniards, Italians and French figure out that the scam they fell for was carried out from here, in Israel?” he asked in his letter. “Are our regulators waiting for synagogues to start blowing up all over the world to shut this thing down?”

Dan Guralnek, the Australian immigrant, has drawn his own conclusions. “This amount of dishonesty would never be allowed to exist in Australia,” ele diz. “They would shut down [the industry] overnight.”

Guralnek recently became engaged to an Israeli woman. But he hopes to persuade her to move back to Australia with him, in part because of the high cost of living that drove him to work in binary options in the first place, and in part because of the corruption he has encountered.

“Now I see corruption everywhere I look,” ele diz. “Anywhere where there’s no light shining on the corruption in this country, it feels like it’s growing.”

CoursTorah, the website of a Francophone synagogue near Tel Aviv’s Hamedina Square, has a page on its website warning against the binary options industry, headlined “Stop the Scam!”

“Many people you know work directly or indirectly for these scam websites,” reads the page, warning that binary options and the majority of forex companies operating from Israel are fraudulent. It advises congregants to “run away from these companies!”

And it issues an evidently all too necessary reminder: “Let us remember the eighth commandment, ‘Thou shalt not steal.'”

7 Opções binárias.

Since 2008, investing and making money online with binary options has become increasingly attractive to investors and individuals who invest in shares, equities, currencies, and commodities. There are only two options in binary trading; hence the use of the term “binary”. It is almost like placing a bet, in that you are wagering that an asset will increase or decrease in value over a set period of time.

Binary trading provides options for the market to self-regulate and offers an opportunity to rein in overrated stocks by speculating that a company will see a decrease in its value.

In binary options trading you are betting that the price of a specific asset will either increase or decrease during a set period. You have the luxury of knowing your risk and return up front, before the trade ever takes place. Binary trading is an excellent way to get into the market without a large outlay of capital or capital reserve required.

Take advantage of the information offered on 7binaryoptions to get a better understanding of trading binary options and forex trading.

A Brief History of Binary Options.

Option trading has been around for quite some time. In it’s origin, it was strictly a means of investment reserved solely for the elite and was practiced with little to no regulations. This all changed when the Chicago Board of Trade created the first structured trading environment in 1971 as the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) was formed. It became the premier organisation of it’s kind and to this date it is the biggest method of options trading worldwide.

Throughout time, regulations greatly improved thus increasing the parameter of options transactions. The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) was then created as a safety net to oversee and ensure that investors would buy and sell their assets according to regulation.

The OCC had the authority to enforce bans in instances of due negligence. Binary options would eventually evolve from these standard procedures with the intent of creating a more feasible investment protocol with minimal complications.

Although premature binary options were still being conducted over-the-counter, the new market was limited to the elite and had very little liquidation and no strict regulations. In 2007 however, the OCC changed the guidelines to allow binary options to be bartered on major stock exchanges.

This was approved in 2008 by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to legalize the classification of binary options as tradable contracts in foreign financial markets. In May of the same year, the American Stock Exchange became the first intercontinental exchange to publicly offer binary options. In June the CBOE followed their lead.

With the recent introduction of superior technology and highly sophisticated platforms and tools, there has been an explosion in binary options trading. The new internet rendition of binary options offers greater flexibility as well as an increased modification of fundamental assets; contract types; strike prices; and fulfilment times. These features enable more aggressive strategies to be comprised that propose maximum profits at minimum risk.

This allows for new binary options brokers to enter the arena thus boosting highly improved and advanced platforms which then enable their constituents to achieve more fruitful trades.

In 2010, critical changes to the odds, risks, and fixed rewards now associated with binary options would further promote their reputation. From then on, important brokers started implementing policies to ensure that this brand of trade would become more user-friendly so that investors would be able to trade options from the confines of their homes as well when out and about. In essence, the sheer genius and beauty of the world wide web made it easy for individuals to trade binary options anytime and from anywhere.

In present day, binary options are rapidly growing in popularity within the ever-changing investment industry. This is due to the many advantages of binary options in comparison with other, more traditional, investment options. Binary options offer a pre-ordained disbursement and damage format in addition to presenting investors with the convenience of creating vast trading positions in primitive assets using a limited cash deposit. Trading preferences could not be any simpler as users only have to decide in which path to maneuver their fundamental equity (ie: up or down).

Simply by trading binary options, traders have vastly improved the possibility of making both invaluable and dependable trades. T hey can steadily increase their profits while concurrently minimising their risk of exposure as they invest their time in studying and mastering the limitless array of binary option trading scenarios that are now available at their fingertips. With so many options, you can certainly appreciate the sudden evolution of binary options from complete obscurity to a sudden rise in fame.

Binary Options Trading Regulations.

Even with the recent increase in binary options, many investors are still hesitant to invest in this market due to rising concerns over the regulations and security surrounding binary options trading. This heightened sense of caution is partially due to the lack of trust that investors have in the financial market.

In light of recent financial crises and scandals that have erupted over the last decade in the U. S. (known as the most strictly regulated market worldwide), investors can now can be accused to being “too careful.” Regardless, many of the current misconceptions about binary options are largely due to a lack of understanding exactly how the binary option market operates.

The Regulatory Framework Surrounding Binary Options Trading.

Today, the Republic of Cyprus is one of the most popular locations for binary options brokers. Sadly, many investors tend to think that since Cyprus is one of the “underdeveloped” economies in Europe. They see the country as unsophisticated with little to no financial regulations in place. In their distorted thinking, they feel that that binary options brokers chose this location as the base for their operations in order to avoid strict regulations, when in reality the reason is that taxes are much lower in Cyprus.

In the U. K. corporate profits are taxed at 24% and this rate is even higher in the U. S., where companies can be taxed as high as 35%. However, taxes are only 10% in Cyprus. In light of this, it makes complete sense that many brokers choose to base their businesses in Cyprus. Many of you have probably noted that most binary options brokers refuse to accept clients from the American market as they do not wish to be taxed by the U. S. authorities.

There are many that would contend that the financial regulatory standards in countries like Germany and the UK are higher than those of Cyprus. This stems from the fact that they do not have a clear grasp on how the Eurozone market even works.

The European Union (EU) parliament has issued the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) in order to harmonise the regulatory framework of the financial market within the Eurozone. The MiFID was designed to increase consumer protection as well as to integrate the various financial markets into a single market. It should be duly noted that Cyprus is in full compliance of the MiFID, under the Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law 144(I) of 2007.

Legal Protection Security.

Thus, Cyprus actually holds a higher standard in fiduciary duties in terms of legal protection from rogue investment companies than the U. K., which is still not in full compliance of the MiFID. We need to consider that binary options are a recent financial innovation so there is little to no legal framework with which regulators can work.

There reason there is very little legislation in existence to cover binary trading options is due to the fact that the OTC markets have historically been self-regulated.

Only recently has the framework to regulate binary options been constructed. As a matter of fact, Cyprus is one of the first Eurozone members to in fact have a legal standard for binary options. With this legal definition, the regulatory authorities such as the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) is now empowered to act under the financial regulatory framework.

It might shock investors to know that binary options are in fact, not categorized as “financial options” under the U. K’s Financial Services Act, but instead they are regulated under the U. K. Gaming Commission where binary option trades are actually classified as “bets.” In the U. K. gambling debts are known as “debts of honor” and are not enforceable in the court system.

You can imagine how difficult it would be to sue a U. K. based binary options broker for a “debt of honor.” when you have no legal ground on which to stand. Based on this premise, Cyprus is the best place for binary trading options in terms of legal protection.

Beginners’ Guide on the Basics of Trading Binary Options.

We are thrilled to present to you this guide on the basics of trading in binary options for the beginners in the industry. Throughout this page, we are going to take you through several facts about the binary options market that you need to learn prior to investing in the financial market.

For the purpose of reference, you may need to bookmark this page as it will prove to be beneficial throughout your binary options trading career. Here is a list of what we are going to cover throughout the page:

Understanding Binary Options The various types of binary options trades The basic binary options trading strategies The tools you will need while trading binary options Some of the things that you need to bear in mind while trading binary options Examples of trades in the financial market How to get started.

Understanding Binary Options Trading.

O que exatamente são opções binárias? This is a question that has been lingering in the minds of many beginners in the binary options market. Well, this is a form of investment in the financial market, whereby the trader places a trade (a contract) that has a fixed reward as well as a fixed risk.

These trades are referred to as binary options because they involve either one or the other choice. Similarly, these trades entail getting one or the other payout option, once the contract has expired. Some of the trading options in this industry include the up or down options and the touch or no/touch options. In computer language, the term binary refers to either 1 or 0.

The working of binary options is pretty simple; what you need to do as a trader is indicating whether a certain asset, which includes commodities, stocks and currency pairs, will appreciate or deprecate in value within a certain period, which is the expiry period for your contract.

In actual sense of the trade, you are actually betting on whether the price of the chosen asset will go up or down within a certain period. While opening a position (contract) on your preferred binary options trading platform, you will be shown the expected payout on the position you would like to open beforehand.

This is a percentage of profit that you can make if your prediction is right at the expiry of the contract. For most binary options brokers, the payout amount ranges between 70 and 85 percent of the invested money in the position. Similarly, if your prediction on the open position is wrong at the time of contract expiry, you will have lost the bet and consequentially the money you staked on the trade.

An Example:

Suppose you would like to stake $100 on an asset whose current price is “$1612.75 and the expected payout is indicated as 80 percent. You need to stake the $100 on this position and set your preferred expiry period, to say one hour. If at the end of the one hour ( the expiry period for your contract ) the price of the asset goes up and you had predicted that it would go up, you will have won the position. In this case, you will get the amount you staked on the position, $100, and an additional 80 percent of the staked amount.

In total, you will get $180 from this trade. However, traders need to note that the magnitude by which the price of the commodity move will not determine the payout amount. If you had predicted that the price of the asset will go up and drops instead of going up, by the time the contract expires, you will have lost the trade and consequentially the money you staked on the position.

The Main Components of This Trade.

All the contracts/trades that you will be placing in the binary options market will always have three key components, namely:

The strike price in this case is the price of the commodity you have chosen to trade in at the time you open the trade. In the above mentioned example, the strike price of the trade is $1612.75. This is the price of the asset you are trading in at the time you open the trade. It is the price value that will determine whether you have won or lost the position.

The expiry time is the period that your placed contract is expected to expire. It is the period between the time you place the trade and the time it expire. For most brokers in the industry, the trader is allowed to choose his or her preferred expiry period while opening a trade. The expiry period could be as short as 60 seconds or as long as days or even months.

The payout percentage is the predetermined amount that the broker is offering to pay, if you win the trade. In the above mentioned example, the payout amount was 80 percent. In this case, you will get 80 percent of the staked amount, in addition to the staked amount, if you win the trade. However, you will lose the staked amount if you lose the position in this example.

There are brokers in the industry that return a certain percentage of the staked money, if the trader loses the trade. This amount could be as much as 10 percent of the invested money, but is dependent on the trade and the binary options trading platform that you are using.

The Various Types of Binary Options Trades.

Currently, there are various types of binary options that traders may trade on their preferred binary options trading platforms. The simplest of all the binary options trades is the Up/down option.

The Tools You Will Need While Trading Binary Options.

Over the years, various tools and features have been invented to make binary options trading more enjoyable and profitable for the traders. We have compiled some information on some of the most beneficial binary options trading tools on this page.

Some of the Things That You Need To Bear in Mind While Trading.

If you have been reading this page, you must have learned the basics of trading binary options. Before venturing into binary options trading, there are various things that you have to bear in mind, some of which include:

There brokers with a minimum investment amount of as low as $10 Trader’s risk is limited to the amount he or she has staked in a trade You only lose the amount you had staked in a position, if you lose You do not own the asset you have used to open a trade; instead you simply bet on the price movements of the price. Trading binary options is comparatively risky. Therefore, invest what you can afford to lose. There are numerous trading options in the industry, the commonest and easiest of them being the Up / Down trading option. To continually make money while trading in binary options, you need to win most of the traders you place in the market. Basically, trading in binary options is designed to be easy to carry out, even for the beginners in the market.

In all cases, the payout you will get after winning a certain trade is stated beforehand. Since the risk you incur while trading binary options is limited to the amount of money you put at stake, you should only risk what you can afford to lose in any position.

The Up/Down Trading Option.

The Up/Down is among the easiest trading options in the binary options industry. Just like the name suggests, this options entails clicking on either the UP (call) or the Down (put) button, in accordance with the direction that you believe the price will take. Let us look at an example where Gold is the asset you would like to open a trade on.

Most binary options brokers will feature a graph on each asset listed on their platform. In the case of Gold, the graph provided will have a line to indicate the movement of gold prices over time. From the provided graph, you can see how the price of Gold has been changing over time. As such, you can decide on the probable direction that the price will move in the near future. It is on this basis that you make your prediction on whether the price of Gold will rise or fall in the near future.

If you believe that Gold will appreciate in value in the near future, you should click on the ‘Call’ button to open a trade. You should then indicate the amount you would like to stake in the trade and your preferred expiry period from the dropdown menu provided by the broker and then place the trade. If you believe that the price will drop in the near future, you should click on the ‘Put’ and indicate the amount you would like to stake as well as your preferred expiry period before placing the trade.

This is known as binary options simply because the possible results are only two, the UP and the Down options. If you had made the right prediction, you will win the trade after the position has expired. However, if your prediction is wrong, you will end up losing the trade.

Since the choices are only two, there are only to results, you either win or lose the trade. This type of binary options trading options is very easy for the beginners in this market to implement.

As such, it is one of the easiest trading options that new traders should consider trying out. Since the payout on any position is indicated on the platform, even before the trade has opened a position, it should be very easy for beginners in the industry to invest in the financial markets using this trading option.

With the Up/Down binary options trading, everything is designed to be very easy. As such, this is the same procedure that you need to apply, regardless of the underlying asset you would like to open a position on or the binary options trading platform you are using to invest in the financial market. Additionally, you also have the freedom and flexibility to choose whichever asset you would like to make a prediction on, depending on the variety or assets offered by you preferred binary options broker.

For many brokers in this industry, traders have an array of expiry period options to choose from. Some binary options trading platforms are offering 5 seconds, 12 seconds expiry periods and an array of other short-term expiry periods. Additionally this option also allows traders to incest in long-term options, such as the trades with expiry periods of days or even weeks.

It is at the expiry time that the broker determines whether you have won or lost the trade. This is done by comparing the price of the chosen asset at the time of expiry of the contract to the strike price of the asset. If you had chosen ‘Call’ and the price of the asset is higher than the strike price, at the end of the contract period, you win the trade.

Examples of Trades in the Financial Market.

Example 1: Using the Up/Down option to trade Google Stock.

Assuming that Google was performing fairly well and you expect that the Google stock will be trading above $672.10 by 4.00pm Est. Tempo. You should then open a position based on this conviction. To make this forecast, you can make use of the market reviews and trade signals provided by your broker. Alternatively, you may also analyse the market on your own and read the charts on the binary options trading platform you are using.

Based on such information, you stake $1000 on the Google stock asset and set the expiry time to correspond to sometime after 4.00pm Est. For the purpose of this example, we are going to assume that you broker is offering a payout of 70 percent on this asset if you win and a rebate of 10 percent, if you lose.

If after the contract period has expired the Google stock asset has appreciated to a value that is greater than $672.1.00 as you had predicted, you will earn $1700 . This includes the $1000 you had staked in the trade and the 70 percent payout, which translates to $700. However, if the price of Google stock goes against your prediction, you will get a 10 percent rebate from the broker. As such, you will get $100, which is 10 percent of the staked amount. In this case, you will lose $900.

In this case, the $672.10 price of the Google stock asset is referred to as the strike price. Now that you had predicted that the price will rise, this is a ‘call’ trade. The $700 that you earned above the invested amount is the payoff; hence your profit for this trade. In some cases, some binary options brokers will offer a rebate amount. This is the amount that the broker will reimburse to you if you lose the trade. In this example, the rebate is set at 10 percent; hence is $100. However, you need to understand that not all binary options brokers offer a rebate for their traders.

As opposed to this example, you may also decide to bet in the opposite direction, if you believe that the price of the Google stock will drop in the near future. In this case, you will have to place a ‘Put’ trade, but the payout will remain to be the same if your prediction is right. Similarly, the loss will also be the same if your prediction is wrong.

Example 2: Using Touch Trade Options to Trade Gold prices.

With binary options, it is possible for traders to take advantage of gold price movements to make a profit. In this example, we will use the touch trading options to predict price movements of the gold asset. In this regard, the price of Gold has to hit the touch price for you, the trader, to win the trade. With the conviction that the price of Gold will hit the $1617.40 mark by 4.00 pm, a trader invests $100 in this trade using the touch trading option.

For the purpose of this example, we are going to assume that the payout offered by the broker is 70 percent if the trader wins the trade and a rebate of 15 percent if the trader loses the trade.

If by the expiry period the price has touched the touch price indicated by the trader, the trader will have won the trade. In this case, he or she will get $170, which includes the $100 staked in the positions and the payout amount, which is $70. If the price of Gold does not hit the touch price, the trader will have lost the trade. As such, he or she will only get the rebate amount, which is $15 in this case. As a result, the trader will lose $85.

With the touch trading options, the trader is required to indicate the touch price as well as his or her preferred expiry period before placing the trade. Suppose the trader selects $1617.40 as the touch price and 4.00pm as the expiry period. After placing the trade, bad news regarding the value of the dollar breaks out. This will drive inflation fears and force oil and gold prices to rise. As such, the price of gold will hit the touch price. Although not all brokers in the industry offer the touch trading option, they are the second most popular binary options trading option.

A General Binary Options Trading Example.

Trading in the majority of assets, such as oil and gold, provided by your preferred broker should be easy and fast. The following general trading procedure should be applied:

To begin with, you need to select an underlying asset to trade in, such as a currency pair, gold or oil. You then need to select your preferred expiry period from the options provided by your broker; this could be 60 seconds, 1 hour, a day or a week. Indicate the amount of money you would like to invest in the position, for instance, you may choose to stake $10. Predict the direction you think the price will move towards; Para cima ou para baixo. This is done by selecting the up or the down option. Prior to submitting your request, you should check the payouts for the position if you win or lose the trade. Now click on the apply button to place the trade.

While trading binary options, it is not possible to lose more money than you have staked in the open position(s). Again, it is not possible to make more profit than the indicated payout percentage on any trade you have placed. For most brokers, the payouts offered to traders after winning a position ranges between 70 and 85 percent. Although some brokers do not offer rebates, there are those brokers that offer rebates of up to 15 percent of the staked amount.

What You Have to Remember While Investing in Binary Options.

Here are a couple of things that beginners need to know about the binary options trading industry:

As opposed to Forex trading, traders in binary options are not restricted by leveraging The profit or lose you will make from any trade is known before hand and you cannot lose more than what you have invested in a trade. The magnitude by which the price has moved will not affect the much profit or loss you make while trading binary options. The amount of payout on any trade is clearly indicated The majority of brokers we have listed will offer traders an early closure option. This feature allows traders on their platforms to close the trade at any time, before the expiry time, when they find the price appealing. This allows traders to make an early exist from any trade and to minimise losses. All the brokers we have listed offer a payout of between 70 and 85 percent on various assets. Trading binary options is comparatively easy, regardless of your experience in the industry of the broker you are using. Trading binary options is not associated with any hidden costs and fees With this form of trade, you need not to be an expert to make a profit The trade entails ‘one or the other’ option, hence is referred to as binary Opening a trade on an asset does not mean that you buy it; you are just betting on the price movements of the said asset.

Olá. Dia bom. I was reading reviews about binary options. I’m interested. I was being asked by optionstars global rep to do it with them. I’m reading a lot of negative reviews. i would like to consult my case because ‘m still confused.

Most people are become afraid or confused because of it’s high return . You should have this in your mind that you are in a trillion dollar industry so high return is pretty normal in this sector .

I think OneTwoTrade is a scam. I have an account there and couldn’t withdraw my money as it is still pending after three weeks. Hopefully nobody will experience the same.

I think you should contact an agent. his name is Harlem cuppel.

The wolves of Tel Aviv: Israel’s vast, amoral binary options scam exposed.

An industry turning over hundreds of millions of dollars, employing thousands of people, is cynically cheating naive would-be investors worldwide via a range of corrupt practices. It is doing terrible harm to its victims, and it risks doing the same to Israel's reputation.

Simona Weinglass é uma repórter investigativa do The Times of Israel.

When Dan Guralnek immigrated from Australia to Israel in 2012, he did not anticipate becoming involved in an international internet scam.

“I always wanted to move to Israel,” says Guralnek, who attended a Jewish day school in Sydney.

He was working in the administration of a factory in Australia when his boss died suddenly, and, at the age of 28, he realized it was a good time for him to move to Israel. “I thought, ‘I’m free, no strings attached, I can go.’”

Guralnek enrolled in Jerusalem’s Ulpan Etzion to learn Hebrew, then moved to the vibrant and bustling city of Tel Aviv, where he landed a series of minimum-wage jobs for NIS 25 (a little over $6) an hour: chopping vegetables in a restaurant, driving a disabled person, working the night shift at a hot-dog stand.

But in a city with sky-high rents and a cost of living relative to salaries (PDF) second only to Japan, Guralnek could not survive. He heard that jobs in an industry called binary options paid twice what he was earning, plus commission.

‘It’s gambling and we’re a bookie’ & # 8212; ex-binary options salesman.

“As soon as I started looking for a job, I was getting calls from binary options companies every day,” he recalls. “They dominate the job advertisement space.”

Nor did Guralnek have any difficulty landing a job.

“You walk in and they make a big show like they’re assessing whether or not they want you. But they want you.”

On the day Guralnek stepped into the lavish offices of his new employer in the seaside town of Herzliya Pituah, he knew he had arrived.

“There was free coffee, free food,” says Guralnek. “My salary was 7,500 shekels ($1,900) per month, plus commission.”

Guralnek sat in a call center with about 50 other employees, many of whom were new immigrants fluent in a variety of languages. His job was to call people around the world and persuade them to “invest” in an ostensible financial product called “binary options.” The clients would be encouraged to make a deposit — to send money to his firm — and then use that money to make “trades”: The clients would try to assess whether a currency or commodity would go up or down on international markets within a certain, short period of time. If they predicted correctly, they won money, between 30 and 80 percent of the sum they had put down. If they were wrong, they forfeited all the money they put on that “trade.” Guralnek soon saw that the more trades a client made, the closer they came to losing the entirety of their initial deposit.

He had been instructed to present the binary option as an “investment” and himself as a “broker,” even though he knew they would most likely lose all their money. “The client isn’t actually buying anything. What he’s buying is a promise from our company that we will pay him. It’s gambling and we’re a bookie,” he says now.

Before he started the job, the company gave Guralnek a week-long sales course in which he was taught enough financial knowledge to sound good to a customer who knew less than him. He was also instructed in high-pressure sales tactics.

“They taught us how to make people uncomfortable, how to answer objections, how to keep them on the phone.”

The training session was known as a “conversion course” and the goal was to learn how to turn a telephone lead into a customer by taking their first deposit. At his company, salespeople were not allowed to take a deposit of less than $250.

During the sales course, the company’s management gave Guralnek advice that haunted him later. “They told us to leave our conscience at the door.”

Is this legal?

As the weeks passed, more and more questions formed in Guralnek’s mind — questions that underlined the bizarre financial netherworld he had entered. Why didn’t he know the surnames of his managers? Why were workers prohibited from speaking Hebrew or bringing cellphones into the call center? Who was the company’s CEO? Why was it okay for the company’s Arab-Israeli staff to sell binary options in places like Saudi Arabia while other countries, like Israel, the United States and Iran were off-limits?

Even worse, Guralnek began to suspect that beyond the poor odds customers had of actually making any money, and beyond the aggressive sales tactics, what the company was doing was downright illegal.

For instance, every salesperson was asked to invent a fake name and biography. The call center used Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, which displayed a local phone number to customers anywhere in the world. The company’s website listed an address in Cyprus.

“I was told to tell people I had years of experience in the market, that I had studied at Oxford and worked for the Bank of Scotland.”

Guralnek says he was told to present himself as a broker who made a commission on the trades and to emphasize how much money the customer could make while downplaying the risk. In fact, rather than helping customers to make smart trades, the “broker’s” true interest was for them to make unsuccessful predictions and lose their money.

Guralnek says he was also increasingly disquieted by what happened when the clients tried to quit. That’s when they would be asked for a lot of paperwork.

“We would say, ‘You want to withdraw? ESTÁ BEM. We need to verify your identity before we can release the funds. You need to send us a photocopy of your utility bill, your driver’s license, your passport, your credit card’” — requirements, needless to say, that had not been mentioned when the client put money in .

While the customer was gathering and submitting this paperwork, a “retention” agent would call them and go through their trades, purportedly figuring out what went wrong and convincing them to continue trading. “We could delay that withdrawal for a long time.”

‘Why should I be blamed for selling something to stupid people? If someone is over 18 and wants alcohol, cigarettes, a knife, a binary option account, it’s his own responsibility’ & # 8212; Facebook post.

If a customer was persistent, says Guralnek, very often the company would stop taking their calls, or send them an email saying ‘we suspect you of fraud’ and freeze all their funds. Because the customer didn’t know the real name or location of their salesperson, “they had nowhere to turn to get their money back,” explains Guralnek.

But the grimmest part of the job for the young immigrant was asking for money from people who seemed poor and dejected.

“They believe they’re doing something good: They’re making an investment, doing something responsible. And they’re not. Every story is sad. Everyone’s got people depending on them. Lots of people are finally getting back on their feet after a drug problem or something.”

The worst was when a client told him, “I’m in hospital.”

“When someone says ‘I’m in hospital and I have cancer,’ we’re supposed to still sell them. But I would throw the sale every time. I couldn’t do it.”

A vast, dishonorable industry.

If you type the words “binary options” or “forex” into Facebook groups that cater to new olim (immigrants to Israel), you will encounter long threads of heated exchanges.

“Do any of you who are involved in Forex/Binary options realize that this is a highly unregulated business that it is soliciting gambling to misinformed or uneducated persons?’ reads one such post in the popular Secret Tel Aviv group.

“Why should I be blamed for selling something to stupid people?” a woman replies. “If someone is over 18 and wants alcohol, cigarettes, a knife, a binary option account, it`s his own responsibility.”

“Would you sell it to your grandmother?” the original poster fires back.

In the “Keep Olim in Israel Movement” Facebook group, a woman writes, “Hi all, can someone explain to me what are Binary and Forex jobs and why people are so anti-working in these industries in Israel?”

“This field is dishonorable,” reads one reply. “I’ve done it and I felt nothing but shame and self-loathing for harassing people who never asked for this call and trying to get money out of them that they’re unlikely to ever get back.”

“If you don’t like it, don’t do it,” reads another. “Work what you feel is an ‘honest’ job, make your 6,000 shekels (approx $1,500) a month take away, spend it half on rent and live like a rodent with the rest of it.” He continues, “While the Binary and Forex industry and I pay 50% taxes on our salaries to pay for your health care, social security, and security, I can speak for all of us, we don’t need to be judged.”

No one seems to know precisely how big the binary options and forex industries are in Israel. Not even the Israel Securities Authority, which, when posed the question, responded via text message, “As the industry is still unregulated, we don’t have the full picture.”

But conservative estimates put the number of people employed in the industry at several thousand, mostly in Tel Aviv and its suburbs like Herzliya and Ramat Gan, while annual revenue could be anywhere from hundreds of millions to over a billion US dollars.

Globally, the term forex normally refers to legitimate trade in foreign currency, while binary options is the name of a financial instrument. In Israeli popular parlance, however, “binary options” and “forex” are often lumped together as part of the same industry: When Israelis refer to forex companies, they often mean companies that “trade” the binary options on currencies. Sometimes the terms Forex and binary options are used interchangeably to refer to rapid, all-or-nothing trades on a range of assets.

At some binary options firms, the online platform is manipulated to provide false results that ensure the customer loses.

The “trading” process can work as follows, The Times of Israel was told. Having transferred their first financial deposit to the company, customers log in to an online trading platform, as directed by the company’s salespeople, and place money on a prediction that the price of a currency or commodity will go up or down on international markets in, say, the next five minutes. If the customer predicts correctly, he makes a profit of a certain percentage and the company loses money. If the customer is wrong, he loses all the money he placed on the trade, and the company keeps it. Professional options traders consulted by The Times of Israel said that even a financial genius cannot predict with any confidence what, say, the price of gold will do in the next five minutes; rather than an investment, the transaction is really nothing more than a gamble.

The misrepresentation of gambling as responsible investment would be bad enough.

What’s worse, though, and blatantly corrupt, The Times of Israel was told, is that, at some companies, the house is bent. A variety of ruses are used. The potential payout for a correct prediction is complex, opaque and calculated to minimize the company’s loss. If an asset is behaving in a predictable way — say, the price of copper starts to climb following an earthquake in Chile — the company will pull that asset from the online platform. At some binary options firms, the online platform is manipulated to provide false results that ensure the customer loses.

Estimates of the number of binary options and forex companies in Israel vary from 20 to several hundred. The IVC Research Center, a company that provides information about Israel’s technology sector, estimated in its 2015 yearbook that there are 100 online trading companies in Israel, the overwhelming majority of which fall into the categories of forex and binary options. IVC estimates these companies employ more that 2,800 people in Israel. However, the yearbook states, “it’s difficult to gauge the actual size of the online financial trading industry in Israel,” in part because the industry is “low-key” and its “Israel nexus is often understated.”

A 2014 report on the Israeli Internet industry by TheTime startup incubator says that of the 90 Israeli Internet companies earning revenue of $10 million or more per year, 15 were online trading platforms, many of them trading forex and binary options. Three of these, according to the report, were assessed to have revenue of at least $100 million a year. Some other companies on the list included iForex, bForex, AnyOption, 4XPlace, Optionbit and Banc de Binary. Based on these assessments, the Israeli forex and binary options industry has annual turnover in the hundreds of millions, possibly even billions, of dollars.

How many are fraudulent?

It is anyone’s guess what percentage of online financial trading companies engage in unethical, illegal and/or fraudulent practices. One distinction many people interviewed for this article drew was between unregulated and regulated companies.

Several large, better-known companies with Israeli founders or major sales and marketing operations in Israel are regulated in Cyprus, which gives them license to sell financial products in individual EU countries even if they are not regulated in those countries.

Many forex and binary options companies operating in Israel, however, are unregulated.

Sam C., a recent immigrant to Israel from the United States, describes his experience working in an unregulated binary options company last summer.

Many customers had clicked on an ad hawking ways to earn money from home. ‘They actually believe that they’re going to become a millionaire just by doing this’ & # 8212; former customer service staffer at a binary options firm.

“They make it extremely, extremely hard for customers to withdraw their money,” says Sam, who worked in customer service and who asked that his real name not be used.

“You have to find a copy of your driver’s license, a copy of your utility bill and there are so many rules and requirements. Half of the calls I had to deal with were just people complaining, saying that it’s been months and I need my money now. I need it to pay for this or that. Pretty much the company just refuses to give it up.”

In fact, Sam says he “cannot confirm” that any customer ever received payment or withdrew their money during his few months working at the company.

“People would call back and call back. And eventually, sometimes one of my managers would say, ‘Don’t take that person’s calls anymore and close his account.’ They would say, ‘We’re done with him and all the money doesn’t matter. Don’t take calls from him anymore.’”

Most of the customers of Sam’s company were from the United States, even though it is against US law for companies to sell binary options to US citizens in this way. Additional clients were from Africa, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Many had clicked on an ad hawking ways to “earn money from home” or watched a video that claimed to reveal secret investment strategies.

“The majority seemed to be… the stereotypical dumb person,” recalls Sam. “You don’t even realize that people like this exist outside of movies. They actually believe that they’re going to become a millionaire just by doing this. And it’s almost sad.”

Asked about his managers, Sam said they were young Israelis who appeared to think it was cool to rip people off.

“They seemed like they had just watched ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and wanted to emulate the characters. The banter they would have, would be like, oh yeah, I can’t believe he fell for that, I can’t believe you got him to invest $300.”

Sam says one his managers would actually quote Leonardo DiCaprio’s sales pitches from the movie verbatim over the telephone when trying to sell binary options.

“‘Hello, John. How are you doing today? You mailed my company a few weeks back, requesting information on an investment that had huge upside potential with very little downside risks,’ he would quote from memory. ‘Does that ring a bell?'”

“I thought it was kind of pathetic, to be honest,” recalls Sam.

Manipulating software.

In 2013, the United States outlawed the marketing of binary options to its citizens, except on a handful of regulated exchanges. On its website, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), an independent US government agency, alerts investors to “fraudulent schemes involving binary options and their trading platforms. These schemes allegedly include refusing to credit customer accounts, denying fund reimbursement, identity theft, and manipulation of software to generate losing trades.”

“Trading binary options can be an extremely risky proposition,” warns another US-based regulatory agency, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), on its website. “Unlike other types of options contracts,” says FINRA, an SRO that regulates member brokerage firms and exchange markets, “binary options are all-or-nothing propositions. Quando uma opção binária expira, ela faz uma quantia de dinheiro pré-especificada ou nada, em cujo caso o investidor perde todo o seu investimento. Trading binary options is made even riskier by fraudulent schemes, many of which originate outside the United States.”

In Israel, many so-called “forex” companies are actually selling binary options, meaning that a client bets on whether a currency will go up or down, rather than buying the currency, Jared K. a former Wall Street broker explains to The Times of Israel.

“Traditional forex is I buy at 3.50, I sell at 3.60. Binary forex (that is, forex in the world of binary options) is saying ‘if it goes to 3.60 I win money, let’s say 20% more than I bet, but if it goes to 3.50 or lower, I lose.’”

Trading binary options is made even riskier by fraudulent schemes, many of which originate outside the United States — US government warning.

Graham P., who currently works in marketing for a large, Cyprus-regulated binary options firm in Tel Aviv, says he knows about efforts to manipulate software as described by the CFTC — cynical intervention by binary options firms to ensure they win, the industry’s equivalent of a rigged roulette wheel in a casino.

“I spoke to a guy I was potentially going to work with, and he had actually developed a binary options platform. He said that everyone he met who was interested in buying the platform (to start their own company) wanted him to create a back door.”

By “back door,” Graham means that companies want to be able to manipulate a “trade” at the last minute if a customer or group of customers appears to be winning too much.

“Let’s say 70 percent of the traders are for some reason betting that oil is going to go up. So then the companies say, gee, if we make just 30 percent win, we’ll be able to keep a lot more money. And the algorithm does that. It’s very easy to tell the customer, oh, the line fell a little bit below your position.”

If the customer brings proof that the price of oil did actually go up to where they predicted it would, the company will point them to the fine print, which states that the company has its own algorithms which may differ from real-time.

“Trading rates assigned to the assets on our website are ones at which our company is willing to sell binary options to its customers at the point of sale,” reads a typical disclaimer on many binary options websites. “As such they may not directly correspond to real-time market levels at the point in time at which the sale of options occurs.”

Graham, whose company is regulated in Cyprus, said that in his view “the entire binary options industry is fraudulent.” If so, this represents cynical and systematic corruption on an huge scale — dwarfing such damaging scandals as the illegal hawking of Dead Sea products by Israelis at kiosks in malls around the world — unconscionably allowed to flourish, with extremely grave potential repercussions for Israel.

”For some crazy reason it’s legal in Europe. Individual European nations are letting binary options fly. While countries like the United States smelled the bullshit a long time ago and made it illegal.”

Graham said that on a gut level, he would like to see the industry shut down, but he is worried.

“There’s so much money pouring into the city; it’s literally an industry here — I’m including forex too. It’s probably paying for the subway system we’re installing. Can you imagine thousands of people in Tel Aviv out of work?”

‘A bad reputation’

Chaya Berkowitz, an eight-year veteran of forex companies in Israel, tells the Times of Israel that her own experience in the industry has been good. “I’m not oblivious. I’m aware that it has a very bad reputation. I don’t think that’s 100 percent justified.”

Berkowitz asserts that there are legitimate companies in the industry, and rattles off the names FXCM, Alpari and FXPro, none of which are based in Israel.

“If you have ten forex companies, probably six or seven of them have bad reputations that give the others a bad name. It’s unfortunate because the others take their business seriously and do care about their clients,” she says.

Asked if those six or seven are guilty of fraud, Berkowitz avers, “I wouldn’t say they’re committing fraud. They have the reputation of lying to their clients and misleading advertising. That definitely exists, but there’s a reason some of the big brokerage firms are still around. It’s because they usually play by the book — otherwise they’re not around very long.”

Berkowitz estimates that in legitimate forex companies, two or three out of 10 clients do earn profits and are able to easily withdraw their money. Asked how to tell if a company is legitimate, she says, “I would look for tougher regulation, not a company regulated on some island somewhere but regulated in the UK, the United States or Australia.”

Cyprus, she claims, has become stricter in recent years. “It’s becoming a more recognized regulatory agency.”

“I would also ask friends or other investors. Personal word of mouth is huge. I would do my homework. Look online to see who has a good reputation. I would ask questions when researching a broker. Do I have easy access to my money? Do you offer education?”

Reeling the customers in.

After getting her Master’s degree in Israel and marrying an Israeli, Lynne R., a native Californian, began looking for a job, but was disappointed by what was out there.

“It was really shocking to me, once I started going to companies, to find out how low the salaries were. I wanted to find something more competitive, more similar to what I was earning in the United States.”

People kept mentioning to Lynne that binary options jobs paid well. She posted the fact that she was looking into a couple job sites on Facebook, and “I probably had 25-30 people call to set up interviews.”

Lynne went on five or six interviews, where she learned she was eligible for two types of jobs.

“There’s conversion and retention. For the conversion jobs they were telling me I would make around 15,000 shekels ($3,850) a month and for retention jobs they told me I could make 30,000 to 40,000 ($7,700 to $10,250) a month.”

At each interview, Lynne probed extensively as to the nature of the job. Each company has its own marketing methods, often involving videos that tell the story of a person who learned a secret method of extracting money from the market, she says. One firm told her it attracted customers with a “robot”:

“They said, basically we use a program, which we call a robot. We market it to people and we say it can make small trades for you, like $100 or $200, and there’s an Internet program that will do, you know, some magic and make you a few hundred extra dollars a month.”

Lynne’s job would be to call people who had paid $200 to use the robot, and persuade them to deepen their involvement.

“You call them and you say, well, you have this robot, but it’s not actually that great of a program; it was sold to you by an affiliate of ours. If you want to make serious money, you need to start trading, and we can tell you how. We’re expert traders. All you need to do is make a bigger deposit, and you’ll get a personalized account with us and a personal trader. All you need to do is make a deposit of $500 and we’ll get you started.”

Lynne was eventually offered a retention job, and was enrolled in a two-week training course. The first thing she was told was to never reveal she was calling from Israel. All retention staff were asked to pose as trained brokers working out of a London office. They were required to brush up on the day’s weather in London as well as what was happening in the news.

“You had to make yourself a biography. You needed to think of a business school and say that you went there. You needed to say that you were a trader, that you had worked for either an investment bank or on Wall Street. If you’re a woman, they encourage you to say you’re single because guys will more likely deposit with you. If you’re a guy, you want to have a wife and two kids, because that makes you relate-able.”

The company, she said, was regulated in Cyprus. “The industry is certified for Europe, but you’re not heavily regulated. It’s a way to be EU-accredited without a lot of oversight.” (Finance Magnates, a trade publication of Israel’s online financial trading industry, has written in the past that Cyprus has a reputation for lax regulation.)

‘When we offered training to them, we would share their desktop and walk them through the website. We were told to look around their desktop for pornography or online slots or other signs of compulsive behavior, because that means they’re more likely to make a deposit’ & # 8212; former binary options retention agent.

Lynne says her company’s selling point, which it bragged about, was that it was more ethical than other binary options companies. “If someone asked to withdraw their money we would give it to them within 48 hours,” she says.

When Lynne started playing with her company’s binary options platform, she realized it was fun and addictive, “almost like a gambling game.”

There was lots of adrenaline.

“If you put money in your investment account today, it might give you 3 to 6 percent returns. In binary you see 70 percent coming in right away.”

If conversion agents were expected to get a client to make their first deposit, retention agents like Lynne were tasked with bringing in the big money. The first step was to size up the customer.

“They told us to look up people’s homes on Google Maps to see how rich they seemed and to check their credit card information to see if they had gold or platinum status. Also, when we offered training to them, we would share their desktop and walk them through the website. We were told to [abuse that access and] look around their desktop for pornography or online slots or other signs of compulsive behavior, because that means they’re more likely to make a deposit.”

“You call someone and you tell them my name is Jane Smith, I’m calling from London where I’m an investment banker for this amazing firm. I’m calling to talk to you about how much you actually want to make. We see that you’ve invested $300 but we both know $300 is not going to make you anything. So what is it you actually want to make in a year?”

“So people would say, ‘I want to make $100,000.’ ‘I want to buy a house’ or ‘I want to travel.’”

“They tell you something that they want and then you say, ‘so it will probably take you 6-8 months to achieve that. If you want to achieve it you need to trade every day. I’m going to be working with you. I’m going to give you information about which picks to make every day.”

Lynne said the “broker” would check in with customers regularly, encouraging them, teaching them about the market, and offering tips. When the broker chose a stock for them to bet on, the stock would often perform as promised. When they got on the platform and made their own picks, they started losing. Then the broker would come back and help them make some good calls, and they would win again.

“So basically you come across as this really great trader, but in reality you are just trying to make the volume of trades be as high as possible.”

The next step, recalls Lynne, was to ask for a $10,000 deposit.

“Customers usually balk and say ‘There’s no way I want to deposit $10,000.’ So you pressure them and say ‘If you’re not really serious about making money, then why are we talking right now?’ Traders try everything. Some are really sweet, some try to identify with them, some try to make them feel awkward — whatever the technique is that gets them to deposit. The favorite technique is to say, ‘If you deposit $5,000, I will give you a $5,000 bonus.’ Customers hear that and they say ‘That’s insane. I’m going to deposit.’”

But the bonus, explains Lynne, is a trap.

“You’re not allowed to withdraw any of your money until you use that bonus money something like 30 to 40 times over. Let’s say I give you a $1,000 bonus. You would need to trade that until you made at least $30,000 profit off of it, and then you can withdraw your money. But you will never get to that amount. Let’s say you make $10,000 off of it and you say you want to withdraw, in the contract it will say you can’t withdraw. You can take your original money out, but you can’t take the bonus or the money you earned with the bonus.”

“So clients get stuck in the system, because they don’t want to lose all their money, and by the time they trade 30 times the amount of the bonus, they’ve lost everything.”

The longer you trade, the more money you lose, says Lynne. “You can’t go that far typically and be successful.”

However, Lynne says again, with her company, if you resisted the temptation to take the bonus, and if you put in a request, the company would send you your money.

“They really bragged about the fact that they were good about giving people their money right away. In fact, they encouraged people to take small withdrawals. If a customer had $10,000, they would say, why don’t you take $2,000 and take your wife on a small trip? It’s very calculated with how much they’re giving out and how much leeway to try to give the customers.”

Lynne quit her binary options job soon after the training course because she said she couldn’t stomach taking the savings of “schoolteachers and truck drivers.” Asked whether she thought what she had been assigned to do was unethical or illegal, she replies: “It was certainly unethical. When I tell people about this job, they are shocked. They say, that could never be legal, there’s no way Israel would ever allow that.”

‘Economic terrorism’

In November 2014 a man by the name of Ariel Marom, who described himself as a former employee of several companies in the forex industry, sent a strongly worded letter to both the Finance and the Ethics committees of the Knesset, as reported in Israel’s financial daily Globes.

“I am calling on the regulator in charge of banking services and the Knesset Finance Committee to immediately take action to stop the wave of plundering, theft, fraud, money laundering, and crime on an international scale that is managed and operated in Israel that is hurting thousands of customers around the world.”

Marom described the forex industry as “economic terrorism” targeting the citizens of many countries.

“When this information becomes public knowledge through investigative reports by the media, which is bound to happen sooner or later, Israel’s status in the world will be damaged and it will unleash a wave of hatred toward the Jewish people and Israel, causing tremendous damage.”

‘When this information becomes public knowledge through investigative reports by the media… Israel’s status in the world will be damaged and it will unleash a wave of hatred toward the Jewish people and Israel, causing tremendous damage’ & # 8212; letter sent to Knesset committees.

Marom said in the letter that he had been searching for a job in recent months and as a Russian speaker had interviewed with forex companies that operate in Israel and target customers abroad. He said he was surprised at the sheer magnitude of the fast-growing industry.

“There are hundreds of jobs currently available to Arabic, Russian, English, Spanish and French speakers as these companies seek new workers for their expanding departments.”

Marom added that after years in the traditional banking industry, he was shocked at the practices he witnessed in several forex companies.

“In the absence of any regulation, they are simply robbing customers. Many people compare forex to a casino, but it’s worse than a casino. A casino hands you your winnings immediately. Forex companies — and I’m talking about most of them — simply do not allow people to withdraw money.”

Marom goes on: “Many forex customers have no idea that the company operates from Israel, especially when we’re talking about the Arabic-speaking desks. Their complaints never reach our justice system and so the industry is not exposed. How is it possible that this has been happening for years, with no local regulation? What happens when thousands of Turks, Russians, Spaniards, Italians and French figure out that the scam they fell for was carried out from here, in Israel? Are our regulators waiting for synagogues to start blowing up all over the world to shut this thing down?”

It is not clear what the Knesset Finance Committee did in response to Marom’s letter. The Times of Israel tried to track Marom down, but the CEO of FeeX, a high-tech startup he used to blog for, said he had not heard from Marom for a few years and had no contact information. Marom’s LinkedIn profile placed him at a high-tech company in Brazil where no one who answered the phone seemed to speak English. A phone call to an “Ariel Marom” listed near Haifa was answered by a woman who said her husband is an astronomer, not a finance professional.

“You’re the third journalist who has called looking for Ariel Marom in the last two weeks,” she said. “Now I’m curious.”

The Times of Israel asked for the help of SixGill, a cybersecurity high-tech firm that specializes in the dark web, to track down Marom, but after a brief automated search, Tommy Ben-avi, a senior analyst at Sixgill, concluded that either “Ariel Marom is not his real name or he doesn’t want to be found.”

The cyber intelligence company did, however, make some interesting observations about the forex and binary options industries. Ben-avi mentioned several companies known to be operating from Israel.

“This industry is a bit shady. It’s hard to get to the owners and CEOs of some of these companies. Most of the time, when you have a company that large, you can see the owner, you can see the shareholders.”

Ben-avi conducted an automatic search with a system that scours hundreds of thousands of sites and closed dark web forums. “It seems like they’re trying to hide their identity. Maybe a few companies have the same owner, and they want to hide that fact,” he mused. “Or maybe their business is not 100 percent legitimate.”

How it’s done on Wall Street.

Jared K., a licensed stockbroker from the United States who now lives in Tel Aviv, says that he sees several problems with the local forex and binary options industries.

“On Wall Street, brokers are regulated, transactions are regulated, the money is regulated. Where is it coming from and where is it going? There are rules as to how someone can access money in a claim.”

‘I am shocked that Israel hasn’t shut this down’ & # 8212; US-licensed stockbroker who lives in Tel Aviv.

Furthermore, says Jared, in the United States, a license to sell securities or handle client investments would require a person to meet certain ethical standards. If they don’t look out for the best interest of their client’s investments, it is a criminal offense.

“On Wall Street I can’t put someone in an investment that doesn’t fit them. That is fraudulent. If I called up your parents and said put money in this investment and they lost it all, in theory I could be arrested and go to jail.

“Binary doesn’t have that, there are no repercussions. What happens if someone loses money? Nothing.”

“I am shocked that Israel hasn’t shut this down,” he sums up.

A product that invites fraud.

Yaron Zelekha, Israel’s former accountant-general, became known as the country’s foremost whistle-blower in 2007 when he exposed the financial improprieties of a sitting prime minister, Ehud Olmert.

‘I personally would not advise any Israeli to trade with any of these companies’ & # 8212; Yaron Zelekha, Israel’s former accountant-general.

Zelekha told The Times of Israel that he doesn’t want to tar all its players with the same brush, but that binary options and some instruments related to forex are designed in a way that creates a strong incentive for fraud.

“There is a very wide information gap between the public and these players, and they are exploiting it to their advantage. The broker is not giving you a service like in a bank; he is personally betting against you. This is a flagrant conflict of interest, because you’re betting on something, and the person reporting the outcome wants you to lose.”

Such circumstances invite fraud, says Zelekha, and “there is no small number of companies that simply defraud the customer. Sometimes that fraud is very sophisticated.”

Asked whether the entire industry should be shut down, Zelekha responds, “There is no need to throw out the baby with the bathwater, although I personally would not advise any Israeli to trade with any of these companies.”

What the industry does need, he says, is real-time regulation. He says there is software that can now do real-time monitoring of a company’s transactions.

“The Israel Securities Authority (ISA) must have real-time access to these companies’ computer systems.”

Zelekha says the ISA has fought a long battle to regulate the online financial trading industry. “They deserve credit for their efforts, although the regulation won’t be effective if it isn’t done in real time.”

ISA: ‘We probably won’t allow binary options’

The Israel Securities Authority is housed in a 1920s Eclectic-style building in one of Tel Aviv’s loveliest neighborhoods, near the stock exchange. Itzik Shurki, director of the ISA’S Exchange and Trading Platforms Supervision, is a soft-spoken man, but he has harsh words for binary options.

Shurki says a new law to regulate online financial trading industries went into effect in May 2015. The companies that wanted to continue to offer their products to Israeli customers had to request a license from the ISA. Twenty-one companies requested licenses. One was disqualified, because its controlling shareholder, Aviv Talmor, had fled to Cyprus to escape arrest for alleged financial misdeeds. Talmor has since returned to Israel and is currently under house arrest. Two other companies withdrew their applications, leaving 18. Of these, four are primarily binary options companies, while the others seek to offer other types of CFDs, or contracts for differences, as well.

‘With binary options we’ve already informed the companies that our intention is probably not to approve this product’ & # 8212; Itzik Shurki of the Israel Securities Authority.

Almost a year later, none of the applicants has been approved. Shurki says that the industry is currently in a transition period while the ISA reviews the applicants. During this period, the 18 companies have permission to continue to operate.

“If we decide yes, they will become fully regulated companies; if we decide no, they will have to stop their operations.”

Which way is the ISA leaning? “With binary options we’ve already informed the companies that our intention is probably not to approve this product. Its basis is problematic. Because ultimately — I don’t want to use the word ‘gambling’ because it is a financial product — but in the way it is offered and in the short time frame, and with all its complexity, in our view it brings it closer to a guessing game than a financial product where you can evaluate its worth.”

CFDs, or contracts for differences, a high-risk financial instrument that is also banned in the United States except on registered security exchanges, will be allowed in Israel, says Shurki. However, Shurki says CFDs will be regulated in real-time and aggressive or deceptive sales tactics will be rendered illegal. The ISA will monitor the prices of every product offered to make sure they are transparent and fair; traders will need to be licensed; and traders will also be prohibited from offering advice or tips to their customers.

“You can’t be in a position to give advice when their earnings are your loss,” Shurki explains.

This all sounds quite impressive. Once the ISA makes it decision, one might be forgiven for thinking, the binary options fraudsters will be out of business. But there’s a catch — a great big catch that potentially excludes the overwhelming proportion of binary options trading from effective supervision in Israel: The new regulations apply only to companies that target Israeli customers. If a binary options or forex company targets customers abroad exclusively, it will not be regulated by the ISA. Thus, to ensure that the new law not apply to them, companies need only exclude Israeli clients.

A quick visit to the websites of several binary options firms does indeed prompt messages saying the service is not available to Israelis.

Shurki says he is aware that the new regulations will not solve the problem of call centers that are defrauding people abroad, but says that such activity is not under the ISA’s jurisdiction, in the same way that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) only protects British citizens and the CFTC only protects Americans.

“If an American company tried to sell securities to Israelis, it would be our job to protect our citizens, not the Americans’ responsibility,” he explains, although he adds that the ISA does have very good information exchanges with its foreign counterparts.

Yes, but when an Israeli company steals from people in another country, is that not a crime?

“It is a crime,” says Shurki, but it’s not a crime for his authority to investigate. “There’s no such thing as a vacuum of authority. If an Israeli commits fraud or misrepresentation, that’s the purview of the Israel Police.”

The French connection.

Perhaps nowhere is the hand-wringing and acrimony over Israel-based forex and binary options trading more anguished than in the community of French Jews living in Israel.

In January of this year, a cover story of the French-language “Israel Magazine,” a monthly glossy magazine and website serving the French-speaking community in Israel and the Diaspora, was titled, “Forex, is it kosher?”

‘A generation of young people is in the process of perverting themselves into worshipers of the golden calf’ & # 8212; journalist in a piece warning about Forex.

In the introduction to the piece, journalist Andre Darmon writes, “The point of this article is not to point a finger at some of our fellow citizens or co-religionists, because the phenomenon is global, but to raise awareness that a generation of young people is in the process of perverting themselves into worshipers of the golden calf. And that earning a living does not mean everything is permissible!”

“These call centers hire lost young souls,” writes journalist Ilana Mazouz in Alliance, a French-Jewish Internet magazine, “many who do not speak Hebrew or English, and for a short time provide the illusion of a normal life in Israel.”

Some rabbis have forbidden people from working in the industry, calling it “theft,” while rabbinic lectures on the Internet in French bear titles like “Forex, dirty work and Amalek.”

Again, numbers are hard to come by for how many young French speakers are employed in the industry. Didier F., a French-Jewish businessman, told The Times of Israel that after he graduated from the IDC-Herzliya, many of his fellow students were recruited by forex and binary options companies.

Didier asserts that many owners of forex websites are members of a French-Jewish community of conmen who are hiding from French law enforcement in Israel, where the police, he alleges, don’t bother them over-much.

As previously reported in The Times of Israel, about 10 recent immigrants from France were charged last year with cyber crimes and telephone scams, while France has reportedly sent Israel 70 additional formal requests for judicial assistance for cases of suspected fraud. A movie was recently made in France about one of these alleged fraudsters. The movie is called “Je Compte sur Vous, French for “I’m counting on you.”

“I love when they say French aliyah has increased so much; now it’s 7,000 people,” says Didier. “It’s great, I’m happy about it. But then you see that many of them are working in the forex industry or binary options industry. You go to Tel Aviv today, when you say to someone in the French community, I work in finance, they immediately think that you work in this shit.”

Adds Didier: “Even if it’s a small amount of money, they’re stealing money from poor people. It’s destroying families. Some people have killed themselves.”

According to a report in Le Nouvel Observateur, a French news weekly, l’Autorite des Marches Financiers, the French securities authority, received a staggering 4,500-plus complaints about forex and binary options fraud in 2014. Those forex and binary options complaints constituted 37 percent of all complaints about securities fraud received by the authority in that year. The majority of the forex transactions that prompted those complaints originated in Israel, the article claims.

What does Google have to do with this?

There is yet another piece of the binary options empire, and it relates to the way Israeli firms manage to reassure customers of their ostensible integrity, via Google.

Let’s say you are a potential binary options customer. A company has approached you about making a deposit, but you are not sure, so you decide to do your homework. You Google, “Are binary options legitimate?”

You will get a list of results, one or two of which may be fraud warnings from the US regulatory body, the CFTC. The first few pages of search results, however, are dominated by sites that purport to warn you away from “scam” binary options sites and steer you toward legitimate ones. Upon closer examination, however, many of these “helpful” sites themselves turn out to be affiliates of the binary options companies.

Next, you might Google, “Are binary options legal in the United States?” Once again, many of the top results turn out to be websites affiliated with the industry itself, rather than an objective source of information. Some of these sites offer misleading statements and half-truths like “There are at this moment no laws both on the federal and state level that forbid US citizens from trading binary options online.”

US law banning binary options is directed at the companies that market them, not the customers who buy them, so there is some truth in that statement. However, the SEC and CFTC clearly warn investors that “they may not have the full safeguards of the federal securities and commodities laws if they purchase unregistered binary options that are not subject to the oversight of U. S. regulators.”

Many countries, including Canada, publish updated lists of unregistered binary options companies that solicit customers in Canada in violation of the law. A recent Canadian list is here. The list features 37 companies. The Times of Israel went to the website of each company on this list. Some were no longer in operation. Others blocked users from Israel (presumably to avoid trouble with the Israel Securities Authority). One now hosts a porn site. Most were hard to pin down to a geographic location. However, based on first - and secondhand sources, The Times of Israel suspects that more than half of these companies, if not the overwhelming majority, operate from Israel.

“Investing with offshore companies operating outside of Canada can be risky and is a common red flag of investment fraud,” the Canadian Securities Authority warns. Yet if you Google “Canada, binary options, blacklist,” once again, many of the top search results appear to be industry-affiliated sites, some of which recommend as legitimate the very same sites that are on the Canadian government’s blacklist.

Bryan Seely, a Seattle-based cybersecurity expert, tells The Times of Israel he is not surprised to hear of these Google search results, which, he explains, show Google’s search engine being manipulated.

“Google doesn’t make a point of censoring stuff; you can find drugs, you can find steroids, you don’t have to go to the Silk Road. Google indexes the Internet and ranks things where it ranks them.”

Asked why, if this industry allegedly has so many victims, their voices don’t show up higher in Google rankings, Seely says, “the victims aren’t as good at promoting what happened to them as the people in the binary options industry are at promoting the stuff they’re selling. The victims aren’t all going to each other’s pages” — so each victim’s page would typically have only a low Google ranking.

Seely, who has been battling to raise public awareness of massive search engine manipulation in the locksmith industry — another area, incidentally, where systemic fraud in the United States, with large-scale Israeli involvement, has caused scandal in recent years — adds, “here’s the underlying issue: Is Google safe to use? Or Bing?”

What he’s really asking, when it comes to the binary options industry, is whether searching Google will lead a potential investor who fears being defrauded to the independent, credible and accurate information he is seeking. The answer, it would appear, is no.

Search engine optimization and the secret of success.

Over the last decade, Israel earned the nickname “start-up” nation for its high-tech prowess. But not many people are aware that the country is also a global leader in online marketing and search engine optimization (SEO), an expertise it acquired in the “shadow industries” of porn, online gambling and binary options, according to TheTime’s 2014 report on the Israeli Internet industry. That expertise has plainly been applied by fraudulent binary options firms, whose affiliated sites show up high in Google searches — sending unsuspecting and naive clients their way.

Yoni S., an Israeli high-tech entrepreneur and SEO consultant, explains that without effective SEO, a fraudulent local player remains local, defrauding perhaps a few hundred victims in his vicinity. But with the power of Internet marketing, the scammer’s reach can go global.

The Times of Israel sent Google a request for an interview about the manipulation of its search platform by allegedly fraudulent businesses in the binary options industry, but Google did not respond.

What do the police have to say?

The Times of Israel contacted the Israel Police repeatedly to ask them about alleged fraud in the forex and binary options industries. Their answers underlined how law enforcement is struggling to grapple with the soaring, fast-moving challenge of Internet crime.

“If there are investigations going on into fraud, etc., I don’t have information on this. If someone has filed a complaint to the police, then let me know,” Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld replied.

A second police spokesperson, Luba Samri, told The Times of Israel, “We got lost in your question. Please focus it more. Who filed a complaint against whom?”

Finally, The Times of Israel called a third spokesperson, Merav Lapidot, and asked her what the police are doing about suspected fraud on a vast scale in the forex and binary options industries in Israel.

“This is something you’re claiming. If no one has complained about it, there is no issue. You want us to check every company in Israel and see if by chance they are committing crimes?”

Told that people who worked inside the industry have described widespread potentially fraudulent behavior on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars, affecting tens of thousands of people, Lapidot replied: “But no one has complained. I don’t know what happens in every company. That’s not our job. You could start a business tomorrow selling jewelry over the Internet. Will the police come to investigate your business?”

To the suggestion that there may be thousands of victims abroad, Lapidot said, “If there is someone who complained, we need to check that specific complaint. We’re not going to check a whole issue.”

Is it possible that an entire industry, much of it allegedly corrupt, is slipping through the cracks between Shurki’s Israel Securities Authority, which doesn’t handle crimes hatched in Israel whose victims are abroad, and the police, which won’t act unless specific complaints are filed with them?

Zvika Rubins, a PR consultant for the Israel Securities Authority, says the law simply hasn’t caught up with the dubious and crooked methods people have devised to make money on the Internet.

“When you talk about bits and bytes, it’s not that simple. Was there a crime? Where did it take place? For instance, let’s say you have a company and it’s incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its servers are in India and it has a trading room in Israel. Is it an Israeli company? I don’t know.”

Rubins, who stresses that he is not an expert on criminal law, muses that if someone in Israel commits a crime against someone in, say, France, over the Internet, then it might be the responsibility of the French to open an investigation, trace the crime to Israel, and approach the Israeli police about it.

Yoni S., the SEO expert, is outraged by this approach. “In Israel it’s against the law to murder, but if I establish a company in Israel that murders people through the Internet in Malaysia, that’s okay?”

Seely sees the problem as extremely serious and growing: “We’re becoming a global culture and global economy, and physical borders don’t exist on the Internet. It’s become easier to scam people all over the world. We have no protections in place to prevent it and it’s getting worse.”

“It’s a jungle out there,” says Yoni, referring to the fact that people do all sorts of things on the Internet that would be illegal within their own borders.

“The Internet came in, no one has passed any regulation yet, and now there is an opportunity to make tons of money in the jungle.”

A response from inside the industry.

Tali Yaron-Eldar, Israel’s income tax commissioner from 2002 to 2004, in 2007 founded eTrader, a binary options firm that targets Israelis, along with Shay Ben-Asulin, who also co-founded AnyOption, one of Israel’s largest binary options companies with revenues in the tens of millions of dollars. In 2011, Ben-Asulin was indicted by the United States for securities fraud, and last month he was convicted of fraud by an Israeli court for helping an Israeli credit card company, ICC-CAL, illegally clear billions of shekels of charges from porn, binary options and gambling websites, as well as conceal the number of canceled transactions. For his crimes, Ben-Asulin will do five months of community service and pay a fine of less than $1 million.

In a 2014 interview (Hebrew) with Israel’s Channel 10 news, when asked if she was discomfited by the fact of young demobilized soldiers and old pensioners losing all their money trading binary options, Yaron-Eldar responded: “Ask the people who invested and lost their money. All of them knew they were entering something risky.”

The Times of Israel contacted Yaron-Eldar to ask her about alleged fraud within the binary options industry.

To the extent that this is true, she said, it applies to unregulated companies.

“The companies with a license are very careful,” ela diz. “AnyOption [a company she is associated with] has a Cypriot license. It is very careful to follow the law. It is being watched all the time.”

In Yaron-Eldar’s view, and contrary to the opinions of other people interviewed for this article, Cypriot regulation is very tough, on a par with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Asked about the fact that the Canadian government has included AnyOption on a list of companies illegally soliciting Canadian citizens, Yaron-Eldar replies, “Not that I am aware of.”

In fact, Yaron-Eldar insists that AnyOption is not an Israeli company at all.

“AnyOption does not have offices in Tel Aviv. It’s a company that operates from Cyprus.”

Indeed, a perusal of anyoption reveals no references to Israel. Nevertheless, it is no secret that hundreds of employees go to work each day at AnyOption’s offices at 38 Habarzel Street in Tel Aviv’s Ramat Hachayal neighborhood. How does she explain this discrepancy?

“They’re not working for the same company,” ela diz. “They’re working for AnyOption Israel, not AnyOption Cyprus. The company they work for is a service provider to the company in Cyprus.”

In other words, AnyOption (like many other binary options companies with similar corporate structures) is not in fact an Israeli company, according to Yaron-Eldar’s reasoning. This means that it, and many others like it, is subject to Cypriot law and regulation, not Israeli law. Since much of the regulated part of the binary options industry is subject to Cypriot regulation, the honesty or dishonesty of those firms may hinge on the strength and honesty of Cypriot law enforcement.

Where are the victims?

The Times of Israel contacted the FBI to see if anyone had complained about forex or binary options call centers in Israel, but the agency did not respond.

ASIC, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, replied in an email, “We don’t comment on operational matters, this includes confirming or denying if we have received complaints about a particular matter or not.”

A French government spokeswoman, however, confirmed that France has been having problems with forex fraud emanating from Israel.

“Yes, there are some cases of fraud, as you say,” ela disse. “Forex is not per se a fraud but it can be used for fraudulent objectives. We have had some cases between France and Israel, and we are in touch with the Israeli authorities about this. There is a very good cooperation between the two countries and the two services on this issue.”

Back to Australia.

Ariel Marom, the mysteriously disappeared former forex employee who wrote that anguished 2014 letter to the Knesset, warned of the fallout when the extent of the corruption in the binary options industry in Israel is exposed.

“What happens when thousands of Turks, Russians, Spaniards, Italians and French figure out that the scam they fell for was carried out from here, in Israel?” he asked in his letter. “Are our regulators waiting for synagogues to start blowing up all over the world to shut this thing down?”

Dan Guralnek, the Australian immigrant, has drawn his own conclusions. “This amount of dishonesty would never be allowed to exist in Australia,” ele diz. “They would shut down [the industry] overnight.”

Guralnek recently became engaged to an Israeli woman. But he hopes to persuade her to move back to Australia with him, in part because of the high cost of living that drove him to work in binary options in the first place, and in part because of the corruption he has encountered.

“Now I see corruption everywhere I look,” ele diz. “Anywhere where there’s no light shining on the corruption in this country, it feels like it’s growing.”

CoursTorah, the website of a Francophone synagogue near Tel Aviv’s Hamedina Square, has a page on its website warning against the binary options industry, headlined “Stop the Scam!”

“Many people you know work directly or indirectly for these scam websites,” reads the page, warning that binary options and the majority of forex companies operating from Israel are fraudulent. It advises congregants to “run away from these companies!”

And it issues an evidently all too necessary reminder: “Let us remember the eighth commandment, ‘Thou shalt not steal.'”
