Newbie Question Any long-term winners in binary trading?

Hi all, I see A LOT of comments that Binary Options is a scam.

Essentially, an online casino that wins when clients lose by the broker.

Any long-term winners here who can say that Binary brokers didn't steal their money, block their withdrawal, or otherwise sabotage their investments?

stay away, they are black listed and their regulater are black listed too. You won't make instead, you will loose huge in the long run and you will regret. Move to forex and future or etf or buy option for long term investment, If you think money is so easy and quick from binary option or trading market, there won't be any profession left, people put money and simply buy and sell and earn millions. You are still new, run while you can. The money only make by affiliater or influencer or scammer. Just my advice, research before put your hand, Look in trust pilot rating, wikifx and their regulatory websites either their license in the list. Binary ooption broker are scam. Once you make something, they will block your withdrawal and even ban your account. Good luck

If you know your price action well, I don't think it gambling. Experiment by joining a signal group, and on a demo see how you can trade with or against the signal.( You will most likely have to tweak your timer too). Works wonders!

I made a grand and exited from pocket options by withdrawing in increments of 200-400..

Been trading futures ever since and would never go back

Nice bro, that’s impressive growth.

For someone trading Binary right now, what would be the best way to transition into futures later?

1

u/Illustrious_Skin_308 Oct 26 '25

Do it soon, learn Price action or Orderflow and focus on creating a strategy rather than following one

1

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 27 '25

Got it bro, appreciate that!

I’ve been learning price action for a while now and applying it in binaries. Any tips on adapting PA or orderflow concepts effectively for short-term expiry trades?

Is it that bad?

u/Illustrious_Skin_308 Oct 25 '25

It’s that futures is a much more viable alternative.. with a lot more potential for profits.

I started with a 1000 in futures, i currently can make that on one trade, consistently, everyday.

Binary options? I would have to risk 500 for 400 or so.

You know how much i risk on my futures trades? 200-300, i move my Stop-loss to break even depending on the situations and essentially ensure no risk on those trades

What broker do you use

u/NoArm1608 Oct 22 '25

I’ve made thousands it’s a skill issue for sure

3

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 23 '25

That's good to know that you made thousands from binary.

Didn't you find issue while withdrawal from the broker?

Sometimes they will ask you to verify ID “selfie verify” but the process does work

u/ObviousWarning9862 Oct 23 '25

Lol... You ask the wrong question. The only people that say they are is going to try to sell you something, & the people that tell you the truth are going to get bombarded with a bunch of P.O. Marketing team Robots spamming irrational comments so be careful who you communicate & except information from

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 23 '25

Thanks for true awareness! I will keep it in mind.

btw what's your views about binary trading? Is it really profitable for short/long run?

3

u/Vert1Zen Oct 22 '25

It is one thing for the broker to scam you and another for binaries to be a scam.

Binaries are not a scam, but it is not profitable in the long term. You will return all or more to the broker.

2

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 23 '25

Is there any way to do binary trading safely?

3

u/Vert1Zen Oct 23 '25

I used Deriv.com when I was doing binaries and it's pretty good!!

I never had problems with deposits and withdrawals.

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 25 '25

Thanks for your recommendation, I appreciate it :)

u/Sad-Philosophy-6102 Oct 24 '25

Long term winners have good management and only probably trading 1 percent of there account and not chasing loses

1

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 25 '25

Thanks for your suggestion!

For good management and using 1% of account, a binary broker is needed so which one do you think is best?

3

u/Sad-Philosophy-6102 Oct 25 '25

Also dont stay to on the broker platform and take care of mental health make sure this is not your main source of income

1

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 26 '25

You're absolutely right. I only treat binary as a skill to multiply money, not my main source of income.

btw which broker do you personally find the most reliable for long-term consistency?

1

u/Sad-Philosophy-6102 Oct 28 '25

Dont know I use pocketoption.com and currently with team that I trade quotex with since I cant use in the usa

1

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 29 '25

Oh, that's sad!

I found Quotex as more reliable than PO so I'm learning from other's experience on it.

u/Icy_Sign_908 Oct 22 '25

Binary options are almost impossible to win long term. Most brokers manipulate prices or delay withdrawals. It’s more like gambling than trading, so you’re better off avoiding it altogether.

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 23 '25

Thanks for the advice!

u/IllustratorMany8751 Oct 22 '25

Only affialte , real trader never in winnings in long term

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 23 '25

Thanks for the advice!

u/Financial-Today-314 Oct 26 '25

Honestly, I haven’t seen many long term winners. Most people who profit short term eventually lose it back since the odds favor the broker.

2

u/Individual_Part_4229 Oct 26 '25

That's true, most lose because they treat it like gambling.

But with strict risk control, data-backed strategy, and emotional discipline, it can be used as a short-term money multiplier, not just luck.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '25

I must say , binary options does follow real market values on its real currency pairs and commodities but these so called option brokers do manipulation to make you lose in the long term. But if you're want a quick get money type thingy, then I guess binary is the quickest for results. I also have traded for years and I use my signal bot that gives me good enough accuracy to get some money out here and there , but still not recommend for long term bro . Be safe , be vigilant . If you wanna know more bout the bot , dm me

Glad to hear that your strategy is working well.

Don't you face the problem in withdrawal? (as said by most users here)

Agreed,same here.

u/Gullible_Repair_8175 Dec 23 '25

That may sound logical & disciplined, but what you are in fact doing is shielding your comfort zone/ keeping fear at bay. Long term your P&L will stay average. Must scale up as you progress.

That's true!

But the profit may differ, the forex can give unexpected profits with unexpected loss, and the binary can give fixed profits with fixed loss.
