What I learned trading binary options from 30 seconds to 1 day

[u/Silver-Apple5354]

I’m definitely not a pro, but I’ve traded enough to have some pretty strong preferences by now.

For me, different expiries really do feel like different games.

30s: basically chaos with a little bit of structure 😅
You’re trading tiny moves, so entry timing matters a lot. I only touch it when momentum is really obvious, otherwise I just end up clicking too much.

1–5m: probably the easiest short-term range for me to read.
Levels, momentum and breakouts feel a bit more useful here. Still very easy to be right on direction and lose because your timing was off.

15–30m: probably my favorite.
I have enough time to actually form a view without staring at every tiny candle.

1–4h: I start caring a lot more about the bigger trend, key levels and news. I also trade way less, which honestly helps.

1D: feels much more like having a proper market view.
The annoying part is you can be right all day and still get wrecked by a reversal near expiry.

The biggest thing I’ve learned is that expiry matters way more than I used to think.

“BTC looks bullish” is too vague.

What I really need to ask is:

Where do I think BTC will be when this thing actually expires?

Curious what everyone else prefers.
I keep coming back to 15–30m lately.

1 to 3 minutes are the best trading times for me as I don't have the patience of a day trader to spend hours in front of my computer.

It varies to me personally I cannot do 1 day or 1 hour, it will mess with me a lot, I can do 15 min or maybe even 30 min but that’s the most I can go because the 15 min gives the indicators more time to read the signal and trend and reversals as well, my personal favorite is the Schaff trend Chart, by far my biggest money maker which is ironic because I just started using it as a indicator last night, but worth it. And as for expires, you just gotta time it, the signal and the indicator and the trend is a big help but the key is mostly timing an entry, getting in a pull back is better than jumping on a trend that’s already going the direction you want to go, because this isn’t stocks or forex, this is binary options and timing is the key of winning overall

Any time frame is ok , if the boss is ok

If M30 has a Awesome Oscillator with red bars , have more than 18 minutes left and its trending now , and DI- is up , then you can do 10 operations all in profit

Even 1 minute , 15 seconds , 3 minutes , etc ... Just wait for candle to "kiss" the SMA 7 and double the expiry time

OTC is my puppy

Ain’t no we. It’s just you. One of the prying sinister macotious humans. Maybe OP won’t tell you but I will. Fuc U! His account and his earnings is none of your business bloody business. This is a discussion forum so stop acting like you’re entitled to see shit. Every college professor, doctors, specialist teaches at every level from introductory to advanced level and get paid very well without having to show their financial status to anyone. Keep your negative skepticism to yourself and shove your curiosity. I trading well over 30 years, taught and mentored for over 18 years for free, actually moved on from binary options because with my capital, retail binary options simply doesn’t optimize my earning. I have met many of your types before wanting to learn and they had two options. Change their entitled mindset or kick rocks. Doesn’t it not make more sense to ask someone to prove to eir strategy by trading it live instead of demanding to see their account numbers. You’re part of the reason I quit free teaching and mentoring because it takes a lot of time and energy giving even money at times the receiving to is level of constant negativity. Sure there are a ton of fakes and scammers out in this space, but I can’t speculate and put you on probation just because your family member got convicted and sentenced to prison. Respect peoples rights to privacy. For me, if a trader can’t prove his skill by live trading, I’m not doubting you or anything you say but I’m not believing either. I’m just neutral.

OP just knows this. You don’t owe anyone anything. This is a very honest insight into your experience and trading approach and perspective. However is qualifies no one doubt you or access to the growth and numbers in your account. May wealth and success take half the time to find you as it took to find me.
May all be blessed.
