in my opinioin, binary options and trading is the same but the different is binary option using leverage and in trading we don't use leverage, but maybe binary option is almost the same as margin trading as binary options and margin trading uses leverage for trading. for new people in trading, i suggest don't go with binary options because its more risky than ordinary trading, so better you learn first about trading and then if you have enough knowledge in trading then you can start to trying with binary option.
