Cash rebates promotions of the broker HighLow

Currently, regulated binary options brokers are limited in terms of the promotions they can offer to their clients. This has become particularly evident in the brokers regulated by CySEC that expressly prohibited the deposit bonuses that so many complaints and problems have originated in recent years. Therefore, these companies are now offering other types of promotions, including cashbacks (cash rebates) and risk-free trades.

The broker HighLow of Australia, regulated by ASIC of that country, offers all its clients a cashbacks promotion through which they can obtain extra money with their trades with binary options. Basically, depending on the volume of their trades, the client obtains a certain amount of points that he accumulates and can change for cash that can be withdrawn without restriction. In other words, it is a program where traders can obtain additional income just by trading as they normally do.

-Period of validity of the promotion: HighLow has not specified a deadline for this offer and for the moment is valid throughout 2017-2018, however the company can modify the terms or cancel the promotion at any time.

Forex market sessions

forex market sessions

As every investor with some experience in the Forex market knows, one of the main advantages of this financial market is that it operates 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday, which gives the trader the opportunity to take advantage of the many opportunities offered by the market throughout the day. This is because the financial market is not centralized as is the New York Stock Exchange, for example, so at all times there are large and small traders worldwide who perform currency transactions whose total volume is much higher than any other market. This makes the Forex market an excellent investment option as there is liquidity to open and close positions at all times. In other financial markets, the smaller trading volume sometimes makes it not possible to find a counterpart to buy or sell when a trader wants to open a long or short position.

However, this does not mean that it is profitable to trade in the Forex market at all times, as there are periods in which the market is relatively calm and without any clear direction or trend so it is difficult to find good opportunities to obtain profits (these are the periods of lower trading volume for which there are relatively few investors transacting in the market).

Relative Strength Index (RSI) Indicator

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillator is a technical analysis tool that is used to measure the strength and momentum of a financial asset, such as a stock or a currency pair. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978 and is widely used by traders and investors. It is one of the most popular and helpful oscillators used in technical analysis. Their values ​​are obtained by comparing the gains against the losses of previous sessions (14 is the period recommended by Wilder).

The RSI oscillator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 indicating an overbought condition and readings below 30 indicating an oversold condition. Traders and investors use these levels to identify potential buying or selling opportunities.

The RSI oscillator is often used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as moving averages and trend lines, to help confirm signals and identify potential trading opportunities.

Wilder was a mechanical engineer and trader who became interested in the stock market and technical analysis in the 1950s.
