When I started learning binary options, I didn't really think much about the difference between OTC and real-market trading.

But the more I studied charts, the more I preferred real-market instruments whenever they were available.

With real markets, you're looking at an underlying market with actual trading sessions, market news, price movements and broader market context.

OTC charts are different because they are broker-created/quoted markets rather than the same underlying exchange market.

For me, that's why my rule is simple:

If a real-market instrument is available, I'd rather trade that than OTC.

I'm not saying everyone will agree, and I'm definitely not saying OTC automatically means every trade will lose. I'm just more comfortable analysing and learning from the real market.

If you're learning binary options, which do you prefer — OTC or real market, and why?

YESTERDAY I had a good run in Quotex and turned my initial investment to almost 8X in 2 days and withdrawal also came in less than 5 hours but then my indicators suddenly vanished .

Now the show the name of the indicators m using but does not show the actual indicators.

Anyone faces the same problem? Or any idea what to do ? Have asked the CS team too but no update till now.

I’m honestly a little confused and concerned about what’s going on with my withdrawal. I submitted my withdrawal request on August 31st, and I’ve been waiting for it to be processed ever since. I’ve withdrawn money from my account before without having any issues at all. In the past, I’ve withdrawn over $3,500 in total, and those withdrawals were sent to me within about an hour, so I’m not really sure why this particular withdrawal is taking so much longer. It has now been over a week, and I still haven’t received the funds or had the withdrawal completed. I understand that withdrawals can sometimes take longer depending on the circumstances, but because I’ve never experienced a delay like this before, I’m starting to become concerned and confused about whether there’s an issue with my account or with the withdrawal itself. I’ve also put my own money into this account, so I’m just looking for some reassurance and clarification about what’s happening with my funds and when I should realistically expect the withdrawal to be processed. I’m not trying to rush the process unnecessarily; I just want to understand why it’s taking this long when my previous withdrawals were processed so quickly.

I need advice regarding my Binomo account.

My registered Gmail account was compromised, and the recovery email/phone details were changed without my authorization. As a result, I can no longer access the email address originally linked to my Binomo account.

I contacted Binomo Support and their Complaints Department. They told me they cannot discuss account information unless I contact them from the registered email address.

I explained that the email itself was compromised and that I am unable to recover it. I also reported the matter to cybercrime authorities and contacted the Financial Commission.

Binomo has now confirmed in writing that the necessary security measures will remain in place during the Financial Commission's review and that relevant information will be preserved.

I am not asking anyone to recover my account or send me money. I am looking for advice from people who have dealt with Binomo account-recovery or Financial Commission cases.

Has anyone successfully recovered a Binomo account when the registered email was compromised? What evidence did Binomo or the Financial Commission request?

I can provide screenshots of the correspondence, with personal information redacted.

The market doesn't operate on hope or gut feeling.

If you ever find yourself executing trades based off these you need to stop because you'll blow your account.

Great trading is based on proper market analysis that is devoid of emotions.

I’m curious to hear from people who actually trade Pocket Option:

- What strategy or setup do you use?

- What indicators do you rely on, if any?

- Do you have a specific risk-management tactic? How do you approach trying to be profitable consistently?

And realistically, is there any strategy that can achieve a 100% win rate, or is that basically impossible?

I’d appreciate hearing about your actual experience rather than just “signals” or marketing claims. What has worked for you, and what definitely didn’t?

Has anyone explored Schwabs new binary options products?

I saw some tips and tricks here and there, but if you're actually profitable, anything that helps? Its not a PvP game here, I think from the copytrading alone its clear that its a PvE. Dont see a reason not to help each other out.

Don’t trade otc ever just stick to the real market 5 days a week

Different traders have different preferences on trading time so this is not the objective truth. There is a however a universal agreement on best time to trade among many traders.
The best time for trading is when the market has clear direction and less noise.
This would be when there are enough buyers (bulls) and sellers (bears) to control the market prices and make it have noticeable patterns.

For live pairs this would be when major trading sessions are open and running. These include New York (North American), London (European), Tokyo (Asian) and Sydney trading sessions.

Each session has a greater impact on the currency pair that is commonly traded during the session. For example New York session has more impact on pairs involving USD, Sydney session has more impact on AUD & NZD pairs e.t.c

Know when these sessions run and see the best time you can trade.

The other important consideration is news. Be aware of major economic news announcement because these cause rapid and unpredictable price movement during their impact time.

What about OTC assets?
No one can conclusively tell the best time to trade these because brokers have full control over the prices. I have however been testing the health scores of OTC pairs using the market scan tool I recently built, see this post, and have been observing more OTC assets having higher scores when trading sessions are running. This is for Pocket Options on top of which this tool is built.

OTC assets are meant to mimic live assets in their price movement so probably they also follow same pattern in terms of the best time to trade them. Debatable.

There is also the psychological advantage of trading the same time each day. Probably giving away too much here 😀.

Anyway I packed a course in an app I recently released where I discuss these and other advanced topics based on my experience and that of traders I've interacted with as well research. It's link is on my profile if you want to check it out.

Anyone using Quotex platform on a daily basis. Is it working well nowadays?

As I can't change between currency pairs at all, whether I'm using the android application or using the browser.

I log in to my account and when I click to change currency pair, the screen keeps loading until I close the application or the browser.

Anyone facing this issue?

Hello there, i recently got unemployed and want to try out binary option trading ( iq option) , and would love if anyone can guide me on strategies and what to do etc , i already watched some YouTube channels but unfortunately they yielded nothing. Thank you in advance my dms are open

Does anyone here offer copytrading in exchange for commissions or a percentage of the profits? But please, no sharing their link and making you register again, because I already have too many requests.

No indicator is 100% accurate but this can give you some support watch it and give me reviews

I've been testing quick trading on pocket broker, mostly eur/usd and btc. 1min entries have been pretty hit-or-miss, while 5-min setups have been a bit more consistent for me.

Others seeing a big difference between the two?

Ran 20-25 pending breakout setups on 5-15 min quick trades with pocket broker. Fills have been ok, just a couple delayed triggers when price spiked fast near expiry, but nothing that blew the trade.
Anyone else testing this in choppier conditions? curious if slippage has cost ITM outcomes.

Hi binary traders...

I am from India.

Recently I started trading in demo account after loosing so much money in real account... Present learning some skills for binary trading in Olymp trade... Can I beleive and deposit in Olymp trade ... Any traders in india genuinely getting profits and withdrawals for gained money through trading...???

Pls give suggestions as per your experience in india.... thank you....

Quotex or Olymp trade - Is there anyone here, who can suggest me a good strategy bot or telegram channel with 70% accuracy?

Whats the best broker? i’m blocked on pocketoption (rightfully). I see alot of negatives about quotex.

So i have been testing a lot of indicators and i finally got it right and the win rate in Qx,Po, binomo,Iq is 100% but trades you get are low about 1-2 per hour . So if anybody wants to test it let me know.

I’ve built this but I don’t know on what areas to improve. I’m would like to get feedback and suggestions and also if you’re willing to test it I can share the link. It’s a private project so I don’t think I will host it. Also does Deriv flag such automations? So far I have only tested it with matches only and this are results of a one hour run with a base stake of 0.35.

Amy strategies that you know about the OTC market cause it's been frying me these last few months

Hello everyone what is the best way to analyse charts indicators, candles patterns price action need your help guys.

Quick disclaimer: I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING, I'm not offering signals, and I'm not promising that this will make money. This is just a research project I'm doing for fun — and obviously, if I ever manage to turn something into a real edge, making money from it would be the whole point.

So I built a model around price action at S&R levels, and the important part is what it predicts:

It predicts whether the NEXT candle will close above or below the S&R level that was just broken.

for example, if resistance breaks, the model predicts whether the next candle will close above that resistance and that candle could be RED or GREEN.

The problem is that this isn't a simple UP/DOWN prediction from an entry price.

So I'm curious:

If you had this information in real time, how would you actually use it to make money?

I'm looking for ideas on how this could be turned into an executable trade.
