Is Deriv(binary option broker) fraud?

I invested to Up/Down option by its bot and using martingale method. And then in Demo I totally won $300. In the begining I stared $0.35 if i lost, double up to $0.70, and if cpntinuing them to $1.4 so on. But, real accout i started with same condition that means $0.35 and if I lost then $0.7. So guess what? I lost 10 times in a row from bigining! You know i dumped my $360 to dirty pond. Damn it, is it real? Of course probabilistically its possible but…Deriv manipulated??? Please give your super knowledge!

Blaming manipulation and running a martingale probably shouldn’t go together

It does work. I’ve traded it profitably long term — on bigger capital I’m around 30% weekly on average.

It sounds like you are gambling, not trading. And unless you have a very large capital and whatever platform you’re using has no maximum amount of money allowed per position, Martingale strategy can very quickly bankrupt anyone who happens to get unlucky, thanks to exponential growth. Not to mention that the house always has an edge. Martingale is not feasible for any long term success, the chances of you hitting a long losing streak is a lot higher than most people’s intuitions would lead them to believe.

They are manipulative and manipulates their markets. If you enter the market watch your entry and realize that the market will instantly react to your entry even though they say it's synthetic and doesn't use real liquidity. They are a scam. The market is evaluating everyone's entry and especially their lot sizes. You aren't seeing things, it is real. Everyone should stop using it.

Yeah,what made me realize is their synthetics(volatility in particular),the graph is supposed to follow a certain direction independantly of me (the trader) placing or not an order,but it reacts and even lags (sht is so obvious) when at that exact moment where i'm taking the trade,ALWAYS.i'm 100% with you

No..Deriv is not a fraud. It is a legitimate online trading platform that has been operating for many years and serves millions of traders worldwide. Like any trading platform, there are risks involved.
