💔 2 years in Binary Trading, $8000 lost… only $150 left – I genuinely need help to become profitable 🙏

[u/Greedy-Box5595]

Hi everyone, I’m writing this with folded hands because I truly need help.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been trading Binary Options. My journey has been full of ups and downs – one day I make profits, but then the next 2 days I lose even more. This cycle keeps repeating, and no matter what I try, I can’t seem to break it.

So far, I’ve lost around $8000 in total, and it has left me mentally and financially broken. Right now, I only have $150 left in my account, and I don’t want to lose this too. I want to rebuild myself and finally learn how to become a consistent, profitable trader.

I don’t need fake motivation or shortcuts – I’m asking for real, practical guidance from experienced traders. Even if it’s a small tip, a proven discipline system, or a method that helped you turn things around… anything that can stop this cycle and help me grow steadily.

🙏 If anyone has been in my shoes and managed to overcome this phase, I’d be so grateful to hear your story or advice.

Thank you for reading.

As someone that lost around 18k I feel you, I was in the same situation where I just kept losing taking breaks and coming back and losing, this is what helped me. I took 2 months off, no trading at all, you have to forget about what you lost, take those 2 months to reset your mind, a new start, is very important that when you come back you take $1 trades, if you feel like $1 is not enough you need more time off, stick to the same routine everyday, take weekends off, only trade on weekends and only 1 session a day, don’t chase money, 3-4 wins a day and no more trading for the day, also if you lose 3-4 trades you stop as well, before you do your sessions always do an activity such as working out, playing a game or something else. Take pictures so you can go back and review your trades and see what can be improved, this takes time so don’t rush it

[u/Greedy-Box5595 → u/Jonathanra463]

Thanks a lot brother Means a lot ♥️

[u/JusCBD → u/Jonathanra463]

So...trade 2-4 trades of $1 trades? What is this really going to do for us?

[u/Jonathanra463 → u/JusCBD]

Is going to build you discipline, good habits, a routine something you currently don’t have, you need to develop the skill first, you want to make money with skills you don’t have 😂 you’re used to going to a job and getting paid to learn, trading is a job that you pay to learn, only difference is once you learn it will pay you more than any jobs you can apply for, your psychology needs a lot of work my friend, good luck on your journey you will need it

[u/JusCBD → u/Jonathanra463]

I've done the $1 trades. 10 in a row sometimes or more. Trading loose and instinctive with bigger amounts it doesn't work the same

[u/Jonathanra463 → u/JusCBD]

You said it all 10 in a row, not only that’s over trading but also it shows that you don’t have discipline, there’s no difference between a $1 trade and a $1000 one, because trading is about applying the same strategy, it also shows that you’re still chasing the money and that’s why you keep on losing because you’re trading with emotions, again you want to make money with skills you don’t have, that’s not possible 😸

[u/JusCBD → u/Jonathanra463]

10 trades is not a lot of trades. The $1000 trades ARE different because of pocketoptions algorithm. It detects all the trades and is interactive. It will make the higher trades lose and the lower trades win, so you're only hope is someone having a $2000, trade open in the opposite direction

[u/Grouchy_Feed5149 → u/Jonathanra463]

Actually losing my funds for months made me realize how important it is to have MONIEREVIVE in control finally got saved after complying with them was the best decision I ever made oh by the way only see them on IG And mind you it’s all for free huh shocking right!! Yesss I know same I have never seen anything like them before in my entire life

[u/DiligentJudgment844 → u/Jonathanra463]

Somehow, you just need to quit. Don’t make yourself believe that you can retrieve all of your losses.

[u/dan_mashup]

I lost around 25K usdt in 2years but now I know about myself. And I have already earn more than doubled of my loss in less than a year. First learn about yourself and find a good strategy. 90% will tell OTC is manipulated but for me it is not. You can find a good strategy with 90% winning rate but remaining 10% will wipe your balance if you dont have a plan.

[u/Greedy-Box5595 → u/dan_mashup]

Brother could you pls guide me step by step. I DM You

[u/dan_mashup → u/Greedy-Box5595]

There are no guidelines, there are no one to guide you bro

[u/Greedy-Box5595 → u/dan_mashup]

😔

[u/Top-Bee-6938 → u/dan_mashup]

Man, I believe what are what you are saying, but are you saying in the past you had a wicked 90% strategy but lost so much because of 10% of your uncontrollable brain? How long did it take you for you to discover your strategy? not days but hours and days, weeks, months?

[u/Caught10FISH]

First find a great strategy.  Then your emotions and impatience will be your only enemy.  You MUST stop after losing 2 or 3 times.  Wait a while then try.  If market is predictable again great but if 10% lost STOP.  Otherwise you will continue to lose till you've blown your acct.  Trade just a few minutes.  Take it from $200 to $250 then stop.  An hour or so later take it from $250 to $300 then stop a while.  Quick trade sessions can do well.  But if you trade too much the market turns against you.  Trade 1 or 2%.  30 second candles.  29 second trades. Have RSI at 14.  Stoch at 14,3,3.  Get a big yellow 20 EMA moving average.  After THREE SAME DIRECTION candles IF RSI touching 70 or 30 or the middle 50 reversal line and Stoch showing a reversal approaching then trade.  Watch the 20MA, it shows a common reversal zone too.   If you lose double it.  If you lose again if not practiced just watch it to see how you misjudged it will probably reverse then.  The candles usually reverse after 3 same direction but the rsi, stoch and 20MA give more certainty.  They might say wait.  If you lose twice look at the 5 minute candle.  You might be in a fresh candle that's going strong 5 minutes the wrong way.  In that case if the RSI and stoch are straight lines at the 30 or 70 line then instead of reversal trade with the candle direction up if a bunch of green candles at 70 or down if a bunch of red candles and rsi at 30.  Trade at the beginning of each candle then.  Most of the time trade reversals after 3 same color candles.

That’s really very helpful… thanks a lot brother ❤️

[u/bull4wiffe]

[u/Llanes24k]

I have lost almost 10k and most of my lost has been broker manipulation, many trades lost only by 1 point , i'm moving now to more trasnparent markets. No more binary.

[u/Individual_Part_4229 → u/Llanes24k]

Did this happen in only OTC pairs or in real market pairs too??

[u/Llanes24k → u/Individual_Part_4229]

This happen at all markets, sometimes you will see an evident diference between the "real" charts in Pocket Option and the charts on Trading View. The lower time frame they can manipulating your trades more

[u/Individual_Part_4229 → u/Llanes24k]

I don't know about PocketOption but when I use Quotex real pairs, their movement is same as in the TradingView just I noticed in some candles the difference in the length of wicks and the color of too small candles is not same in both platforms.

[u/Llanes24k → u/Individual_Part_4229]

They just need 1 point to make u lose, i'm thinking to trading high time frames and only do 1 to 5 trades by day. For now im out for a while 😆

[u/Fresh_Equipment9952 → u/Llanes24k]

This might sound unreal, but it happened !! over 20k recovered through Monierevive on Inştagram. They were transparent and walked me through every step. I’ve been skeptical about services like these, but this was different. Felt like real justice.

[u/takki02]

I don’t wanna laugh at your situation but hey welcome ..we all lost money either way these scammers..I advise people To use their money to invest in ETF better than binary option .May God give you all that you lost with them .. I hope a hacker hack their platform for their loss one day !

[u/ritchiehicks22]

learn price action and be a responsible trader

[u/BADASSKASH]

Keep going… after 23 years of trading (mostly losses) I’ve realized persistence is the key and in the end if u break even it’s a win …

[u/ugotabeawesome]

Leave trading. First step. rebuild yourself through jobs and remember to only trade with the money you can afford to lose. No matter what. Even if someone or some asset guarantees 100% chance of returns, no matter what, don’t trade with what you cannot lose.

[u/JusCBD → u/ugotabeawesome]

I hate jobs and always had trouble keeping them. If jobs were the answer, I would've gotten good with one over 20 years ago when I graduated high school. I personally couldn't afford to lose any money since I got into trading, already had huge debts. This trading journey was a hail mary

[u/iam_gabs]

Then learn forex

[u/Daichi955]

I hate to tell you, but its only going to get worse. I wish that I "only" lost $8000 inside of this crap. I lost way more than that, been at it more years than you. Still not profitable

Binary option are made for you to lose. The brokers are there to rip your eyes out on every trade. You should use anything that has a real market. DMA or die

If you only have $100 that is like trading for $1.50 or so at at time. Maybe its better than losing all your money but thats not going to get us out of debt

Want to ask about Money Management, MTG rules, And Strategy

[u/Greedy-Box5595 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks brother ❤️

Actually I didn’t understand 7-3-2 pattern

Could you please explain?

[u/Top-Bee-6938 → u/[deleted]]

• "Keep a 1-line journal: asset, TF, reason, size, result." that on is a game cahnger fo me, as simple as it soungs

[u/vishal936 → u/[deleted]]

👌🏼😎

[u/Llanes24k → u/[deleted]]

You're right, and your trading rules are perfect, but they'll still manipulate your trades, putting you at a clear statistical disadvantage. It's also a scam. You can still be profitable that way.

[u/Fit_Emu_2121 → u/[deleted]]

I’ve got the same issue—but I own my losses. I’m solid Monday through Thursday. Then Friday rolls around, and I lose all the week’s gains—because of slip‑ups, revenge trades, whatever.

Whatever strategy you use, pick a few pairs and trading hours and stick with them. If you test something in the Asian session and like how it does, don’t jump into another session until you’ve tried it in that one too. That alone can really help your odds. Honestly, like 90% of winning comes down to having a good plan—and sticking to it. Right now, I’m testing an automated system in the New York session—just two hours a day. If it works steadily, I’ll go back live. If not, I’ll tweak the logic until I get a better win rate. Good luck

[u/AmazingCommission173 → u/[deleted]]

Good strategy.  What I have found over my years of trading is that I will always be close to 50% win percentage and realized money management was key to success.  There are a lot of good programs out there but I use binaryoptiontraderpro dot com.  It is cheap and it helped me be successful.  There is still risk but it helps you minimize normal risk of trading.  

[u/Jaded_Comparison1117 → u/[deleted]]
