They wanted a high payout for their users, which they translated into 91% returns on some markets. They wanted a 60 second expiry and the option for traders to close out any given trade so that traders could get profits fast, quickly adapt to the ever changing market and limit their risks. OptionFair aimed to make their platform as transparent as they could and to have trader’s funds separated from the business itself to ensure the safety of their clients. Last, they aimed to make the whole trading experience more enjoyable, intuitive and comfortable.

At OptionsFair you can chose between four trading types;
High/Low – The classic binary option. The trader bets on if the price of the asset will end higher or lower than the initial price, within a certain timeframe. On OptionFair you can also chose above / below which give bigger payouts, the catch being that the prices will have to move more.
Short Term – Same as above, but with expiry times down to 30 seconds and with a maximum timeframe of 5 minutes.
One Touch – in this option you will have to guess if the price hit a certain mark. The trade can be made on both sides, meaning you can also put your money on the asset not touching the preset mark. This option has a variation called Higher Yield Touch. This option sets the mark higher than the normal version but have payouts near 200 %.
Boundary – this type of trade has two marks, a high one and a low one. Then your options are; does the asset end within or outside those marks.
