Monetizing My 2018 Forex and Gold Forecast

As the tradition goes, I do not just post my yearly forecast — I act on it and open the binary option trades that end up in-the-money if the forecast turns out accurate. To do it, I use the Ends Between subtype of the Ends In/Out binary option type at Binary.com (one of the few brokers that allow custom expiration period of 1 year). I have opened seven trades this year: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, and gold:

I had to skip oil (no Ends In/Out option type for this commodity at Binary.com) and had to use a much lower stake for my USD/CHF forecast due to the trading platform’s limitations. Unfortunately, the potential payouts are quite low on all the trades, except for the USD/JPY contract, which offers 568% ROI but is not very likely to end up in-the-money according to the options pricing. All options expire at the end of the trading session on December 31, 2018, which will be a normal trading day this year.
