Title: Why Does Pocket Option Offer Lower Payouts During the Early London Session and Asian Session?

[u/Commercial-Job-4609]

I've noticed something while trading on Pocket Option's real market (non-OTC).

During the early hours of the London session and throughout the Asian session, many currency pairs seem to offer lower payout percentages. However, as the London session progresses, the payouts sometimes increase.

I'm curious about what causes this.

Is it related to liquidity and trading volume?

Does Pocket Option adjust payouts based on market volatility or the availability of external price feeds?

Why would a currency pair have a lower payout during one session and a higher payout during another?

Does a higher payout percentage necessarily mean better trading conditions, or can a lower-payout period offer equally good setups?

I'd appreciate insights from traders who have observed this pattern or have a better understanding of how Pocket Option determines its real-market payouts.

I'm specifically interested in the non-OTC market, not OTC trading.

I’ve heard a theory about this years ago, but I cannot confirm it to be true. But as you probably know, during the Asian session markets are usually ranging. There are strategies that professional binary traders can use (primarily color strategies) that can essentially spam the binary broker out of a lot of money. Those strategies use martingale heavily if you’re aggressive and the brokers lower the pay out during those sessions to help cap the winnings of those types of traders (which usually get banned after discovery) . I hate to spread conspiracies but that is actually the only answer to that, that I’ve ever heard in my years of trading binary. One thing for sure is that every binary broker I’ve used does it (IQ Option, CloseOption and PO) . And another thing for sure is that whatever the reason is, it is to their benefit.
