Australian Direct FX Launching Binary Options on MT4

Australian Direct FX has become the newest FX broker to begin offering binary options, providing it to clients directly on the MetaTrader 4 platform. The offering uses the FX Lite technology from TradeToolsFX, which created what it calls a ‘MetaQuotes’ compliant, non-plugin version of binary options to a MT4 connection. The product was made in response to complaints from MetaQuotes of brokers using unlicensed, illegal versions of server side plugins to provide binary options on the MetaTrader 4 platform. Early providers of server side plugins, included SpotOption and Marketspulse. For brokers, the ability to offer binary options' trading directly on the MT4 platform allows customers to access options, Forex and CFDs with one account and one system.
