Recital 13

13. While the degree of complexity of this specific type of binary option is comparable to that of binary options generally, the minimum term requirement ameliorates the negative effects of complexity and opacity for investors. Investors can more reasonably take an informed view of the market over a period of 90 days or longer from the date when the product was first issued than over the very brief terms characteristic of the wider binary options market that existed prior to the application of Decision (EU) 2018/795. A term of 90 days or longer reduces the scope for frequently-repeated speculative trades that worsen losses and are associated with addictive behaviour.
