Trade Types
Since StockPair uses a proprietary platform, what kind of trades can traders bet on?
a) There is the classical Call/Put binary option as exists on other platforms in the market.
b) There is the paired options bet where traders can bet on the performance of one asset against another. Usually the assets are classified in the same sector (e.g. Apple vs Google or Dell vs Microsoft) so as to provide a level playing field on which the bets can be run.
