The euro didn’t have a good start in 2010 confirming the negative predictions made by financial analysts. There were some strong reasons to believe that euro will have a bad year, but the reality overcomes the predictions. The two factors that influenced negative the euro evolution where easy to see: the recovery of the United States economy and the financial problems of some European Union members.

It was easy to anticipate that the economic recovery of the United States will make the dollar much more attractive to investors and speculators disadvantaging the European currency. Once some of the EU members started to announce their economic and financial problems, everyone expected the euro to depreciate as a normal response.

Binary options are also called all-or-nothing options, digital options, or fixed return options (FROs). A binary option is a trading instrument with a fixed return, and has just two possible outcomes. The result of a binary option can be either a fixed amount of money or asset (if is successful), or nothing at all (if is unsuccessful). Accordingly, there are two types of binary options: cash-or-nothing and asset-or-nothing.

In the case of a cash-or-nothing binary option, the payout is a fixed amount of money or, in case of losing there will be no payout. On the other hand, in case of an asset-or-nothing option, in case of winning the value of the underlying security will be paid. Binary options do not have a certain price, the trader being the one that decides the amount of money to put at risk. The binary options can expire at different time intervals that can range from 5 minutes, one hour, one day up to one month.
