This trend came to a head around the last two quarters as a result of new regulatory frameworks in the European Union, Australia, Israel and other jurisdictions. This has already knocked out some of the industry’s strongest players, such as Banc De Binary, 24option and IQ Option. In the retail forex industry, the same indicators remained roughly at the same level, and sometimes even spiked, during these six months. The average first time deposit and the average withdrawal grew by more than 27% and 8%, respectively, from January to June 2017. The average deposit slightly declined by 11% in the same period. The research and analysis work conducted for preparing this index was powered by the retention automation firm CPattern. This is the latest publication from the FM Traffic Indices – a new cross-industry benchmark. In today’s business world, big-data analysis and access to objective information sources are crucial to success. Unfortunately, until now it has been very difficult and costly, if possible at all, to find any reliable benchmarks for operations in social, FX, binary options and CFDs trading. For this reason, the Finance Magnates Intelligence Department has launched a new project, creating a set of indices encompassing various aspects of the online trading industry. These indices will provide you with unique data points gathered by our analysts that will serve as a valuable knowledge base for your decision making.
The Finance Magnates Intelligence Department and retention automation firm CPattern have reported that binary options withdrawals and deposits have both fallen by more than 50% in the first half of this year. In June, the average trader deposited just $309, a drop of 78% from January's $1,388. The first deposit benchmark (the average first deposit from a new trader) slumped by 50% compared with the end of 2016. In June, traders took out 57% less than they did in January. The decline in the binary options industry is partly attributable to new regulatory frameworks in the EU, Israel and Australia.
