Which sounds better, Software Engineer or Programmer?
I say I am a computer programmer as I reckon people understand what that means. Though these days, maybe i could say software engineer, if you meet someone what sounds better? I like it when people think its a cool, clever job. reaction can also be geek job or possibly boring. which term do you think sounds best? There is also 'web developer' which covers everything from programmers to web designers who do e.g. php and javascript to make websites

It's not just two names for the same job. Software Engineer and Programmer are different jobs. Typically programmers develop into software engineers. For an example, a programmer is typically assigned a task to write a program or routine to do X. The software engineer is the one who determines the requirements for that X and assigns it to the programmer. Often times in smaller organizations, the software engineer will also do programming work.
It's kind of like the difference between a carpenter and an architect. If you do all the analysis and design of the whole software system, then you're an engineer. If you just write the programs, then you're a programmer.

i say software engineer sounds better and more difficult to do than programmer. Web developer sounds good but comes across to me that the person designs website but i might just be being a bit simple :)

Engineers have to "think". Programmers have to "do". But often, the distinction is unclear, and in the end, it's just a label. If you are attempting to land a job interview for an engineering position, I would think you'd be answering thinking questions, like how would you solve this type of problem. If you were interviewing for a programming position, you could be asked anything, but likely, it would be in the nature of a particular language construct or a general specification.

Here you will find a step by step guide which will hopefully give you a better and deeper insight into how it is possible for you to make money from Binary Options trading https://tr.im/YTEW6
You will first need to know what exactly Binary Options trading is, whilst this may seem like common sense many people just have a vague idea of what is involved and the exact risks attached to any trade, so make sure you fully understand the difference for example between actually buying a fixed asset and trading in Binary Options as the two could not be more different.
Next you will need to become something of an investigative journalist when you start trading in Binary Options and by this we mean you need to have a nose for a news story that is going to have a dramatic effect on whatever it is you intend to trade, and one way for you to do this is to keep fully abreast of all the daily financial news stories as this is the only way you are going to be able to make an informed decision on the movement of any Binary Options you are trading.

There is a slight difference though... Software engineers have to be capable to write complex game engines for example, compared to us lowly programmers... The general consensus is that software engineers need a more detailed knowledge of lower-level interfaces than programmers do...

The secret word of trading success is "organized". You can't be successful without a strategy, a plan and some kind of technological support. I use a software called "autobinary signals" that is helping me a lot. There are plenty of them on the market. I recommend this one because it's very easy to use (you don't have to be an expert or have special skills to make money with it).
Check it out here. It's worth it: http://tradingsignal.toptips.org/

Web developer sounds far more geekish than either of the other options.
Personally I'd go with "software engineer" if you had to chose any of them.
Perhaps something less specific? IT Development Consultant? Leaves the door open for you to make up what you want dependant on the situation ;)

Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.
Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.
However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?
The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.
Learning a profitable trading strategy is possible, You should watch this presentation video https://tr.im/4f450
It's probably the best way to learn how to win with binary option

Software Engineer does sound a bit more high-flying and a lot less geekish than Programmer.
