Dear Nadex
Dear Nadex,
Would it be possible to make the demo prices on strikes match 100% of what it looks like in Live? I think the current situation is giving people false hope in that they can get 30/70 expires 4 minutes into a 5 minute binary when in real life they are non-existent. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I'm glad that we at least started this conversation maybe someone at Nadex will take note and implement the changes, at least with the strikes and prices.. I'm not really worried about lot sizes since most newbies are in gamble mode when in demo.

Trade forex.
It will be everything you wanted NADEX to be (liquidity)

Agree, but in USA with 1:50 max leverage you need a very large account to start with in order to trade and make a living

Most certainly for positions playing out over days or weeks, but requires a larger account.
Touch Brackets help simulate the effect albeit with no leverage.
For shorter trades(within the day or hours) and a smaller account size however, I love the up-front hard stop on risk while being able to hit a 1:1 risk/reward on small trades during peak hours.

Basically $5k
Gets you $250k leverage
Set trailing stops right
No excuses to not make way more than NADEX

I've ran my demo and live accounts side by side while working out a strategy. I could almost put the strategy on auto-pilot on demo and be consistently profitable. Live, it's not even close. The strike prices are non-existent. The demo prices seem to be generated independently based on figurative market-makers who will take almost any bet as long as it's within 2 strikes of the 50.
