I chose Binarycent as my first broker because their proprietary platform appeared far less intimidating to me than the MT4 and MT5 platforms. As someone with no prior trading experience, I found their clean web-based interface easy to understand at first glance. Once I funded my account, I got a demo trading account that I could practice with and test the platform on. After playing around with a demo account, I felt confident enough to begin executing live trades within a few days. While perhaps too simple for advanced traders, Binarycent's straightforward platform gave me the perfect risk-free introduction to trading binary options.
