Cyprus is a part of the EU and a license from Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission (CySEC) therefore allow EZTrader to operate within the entire EU zone.
EZTraders reputation have been going up and down over the years. During their first years they where very highly regarded but they feel behind their competitors when new exciting brokers started to enter the market. The company was purchased by WGM in 2011. They have since then spent a lot of time and energy towards once again becoming a leading broker. This has been very successful and the broker is once again seen as one of the very best on the market.
They offer trading in a long row of different languages.

Bonus
EZTrader offer generous bonuses. They do not offer any regular bonus. Instead they offer a lot of different campaigns with different bonuses and special perks. If you are unlucky enough to visit the website while Eztrader is in between campaigns you should contact an account manager. They can usually offer you a bonus even if they do not offer any official bonuses. You should also contact a manager if you want to deposit a large amount of money. In this situation it is often possible to negotiate a better bonus then that they are officially offering.
All bonuses is associated with a trading requirement. This trading requirement usually require you to invest your bonus amount 25 times in 90 days. The bonus is canceled and withdrawn from your account if you fail to meet the wager requirement. You can withdraw money before the requirement is met but if you do the bonus is canceled and removed from your account. Any remaining money can be withdrawn.

They are constantly working on the platform and adding new features. EZTrader is one of the brokers that put the most resources towards improving their platform. This has transformed the broker into one of the most innovative brokers on the market today.
The trading platform offer you the opportunity to sell certain types of options early to liquidate a position before the option has matured. This can be very useful to secure profits and minimize loses.

It is very easy to trade with binary options using the apps.
EZTraders mobile software does not only contain the tools you need to trade but also a large amount of information and news that makes it easier to make informed trades.
Types of binary options
Eztrader focus primarily on regular options. They offer regular classical binary options and extra long options with a maturity of several weeks. They do at the moment not offer any super short options or exotic options. I think this is a good decision. It makes the site easier to navigate and make it easier for you to make money. I recommend against trading exotic binary options due to the fact that it is very hard to make money trading these types of options.
Thy do as previously mentioned unfortunately not offer any super short options. I have however been told that they consider adding short options and you should not be surprised if they offer them at the time that you read this.
The binary options offer returns of up to 90%.
