The MYSEA offers binary options on some [[exchange-traded fund]]s and a few highly liquid equities such as [[Citigroup]] and [[Google]]. On the exchange binary options were called "fixed return options" (FROs). To reduce the threat of [[market manipulation]] of single stocks, FROs use a "settlement index" defined as a volume-weighted average of trades on the expiration day. MYSEA and [[Donato A. Montanaro]] submitted a [[patent application]] for exchange-listed binary options using a volume-weighted settlement index in 2005.<ref>[httphttps://wwwpatentscope.wipo.int/pctdbsearch/en/wodetail.jspjsf?wodocId=2005069978WO2005069978 "System and methods for trading binary options on an exchange" Pantent WO2005069978]. {{Webarchive|url=https://webPatentscope.archive.org/web/20090218165844/http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2005069978 |date=2009-02-18 }}, World Intellectual Property Organization filing.
