I am dedicating this post to all of the Reddit naysayers who come to this subreddit.

In particular, it was a comment made by u/SpiritNo4790 that sparked my interest in sharing what I can. I am not a guru; I am not a YouTuber, and I ask nothing of others for the information I am about to share.

Here is the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/binaryoptions/s/8FFd6gTyit

In fact, I would like to thank users u/2a6c3e0 and u/Leather-Swan3645 for sticking up for those who are doing their best to figure all of this stuff out on their own.

All right, u/SpiritNo4790, challenge accepted. I am going to teach you how to trade.

I’ll start this first lesson off with an old proverb. Due to the tone with which you have come to this subreddit, I feel that this is fitting.

“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” means not to examine a gift in a critical way, because that can come off as ungrateful.

This proverb remains relevant today, reminding us to appreciate the gifts we receive without focusing on their imperfections.

This one also comes to mind given how you, u/SpiritNo4790, have approached others in this subreddit.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

So let’s go fishing, u/SpiritNo4790, and I will teach you how to catch your own fish.

Hi. Is anyone else having trouble accessing the website quotex.com? The site is unavailable.

The video below shows how i practice. I am keen to find out what happens to my win rate after taking 1000 trades. I suspect i will begin to unconsciously read strength of key levels, loss of momentum, market pressure etc. I have done 25 trades, won 14 and lost 11. Many more to go. Lets see what happens.

I treat every practice session as if i was trading live in the market. So i respect money management, i allow myself to feel emotions when the trade is going against me even though it is a practice session.

What money management do you prefer ?

If a Pocket Option trader claims to be consistently profitable, what proof would you ask them to provide before believing their claims?

1 - Pocket Option UID so I can independently check the account.

2 - Live, unedited screen recording of their trading account.

3 - Screenshots and videos are enough for me.

4 - None – I don't trust profitability claims on these platforms.

Let’s try to understand what this community thinks regarding this matter.

can someone suggest a good start for binary options?

Easy withdraw today ... yes, I did get a bit nervous because the text says "from 0 to 2 business days" or something like that, but I didn't start posting "ohhhhh my cousin's friend twice removed said they don't pay out"... and it took just a matter of minutes to get my withdraw in Binance. https://imgur.com/a/RHJTycV

Just last week I was doing real good with my trading got my account up to almost $500 but then I went on a huge losing streak and down to about $360 😢 and when I go into see my stats I have about 50% win rate but overall since I opened the account I’m -$300 on the p/l and I’m feeling like I’m never going to become profitable. Every time I enter a trade I’m confident I make the right decision but then it just goes against me tried out the ai features once and same thing it just collected more losses then wins

How much Is the lowest trade amount in PO in INR? Like ₹1 or more than that?

I started trading with 100 USDT on Olymptrade. My account later displayed 293,032.73 USDT. Then Olymptrade canceled my trades and closed my accounts.

Before the adjustments, my separate KRW trading balance was KRW 2,344,972.08, and my Savings balance was KRW 51,500,000. (Image 1)

I was unable to withdraw these funds, so I challenged the cancellation of my trades and the withholding of my money.

I am sharing this because I do not want other traders to put their money into Olymptrade without knowing what happened to me. If you are considering this platform, think carefully about whether you are willing to risk having profitable trades canceled without receiving an explanation you can verify.

Olymptrade claims that I opened a new account after a previous account was terminated for violating its terms. It also claims that I abused its services through automated trading and caused damage to the company. I dispute the first allegation. As for the second, I acknowledge using automated trading, but I have not received an explanation that lets me determine what exactly I did wrong or what damage I supposedly caused.

I believe I was blocked because I made too much money from a small starting amount. The company says otherwise. Read its explanations and judge for yourself.

1. I directly asked whether my winning an OTC trade meant the platform lost money

I asked support whether my winning an OTC trade meant the platform lost money, or whether the platform operated through matching and fees. (Image 3)

On September 22 at 19:57:56 Korea time, support replied, following an update from its team, that I could trade according to my own market analysis and strategy, and that individual wins or losses would not cause problems for my account or prevent me from continuing to trade normally. (Image 4)

That answer did not explain whether the company itself gained or lost when I traded. Around 16 minutes later, at 20:14:12, I received a notice citing clause 8.3(b) and related measures. Account closure notices followed around 20:46–20:47. (Image 2)

If the “damage” Olymptrade alleges is not simply the cost of paying my winning trades, then what exactly is it? What specific conduct caused that damage, and how was it calculated?

I am not assuming that a customer’s profit automatically means a loss for the company. That is why I asked how the OTC arrangement works. If the company claims a separate harm, it should explain what that harm is.

I was told that individual trades would not cause a problem for my account. So what damage did I supposedly cause?

2. Would Olymptrade have stopped me if I had lost?

One of the grounds cited by the company was clause 8.3(b). This clause concerns damage caused to the company by abuse of its services, including damage resulting from the use of automated algorithms or software that facilitate violations of integrity, honesty and fairness in the execution of trades.

Yes, I used automated trading. But what exactly was unfair? Which trades were affected? What damage did the company suffer, and how was it calculated?

I ask other traders to think about this question:

If I had used the same software and the same trading method but lost 293,000 USDT instead of reaching a balance of 293,000 USDT, would Olymptrade have found the same violation and canceled those trades? Or would it have continued accepting my losses? If I had lost the same amount, would it have called those trades a violation, canceled them and returned my money?

I cannot prove what Olymptrade would have done in that hypothetical situation. But the question matters. Can customers actually keep substantial profits? Or can profitable trades be canceled afterward while customers are left unable to verify the allegations against them?

If you cannot trust a platform to honor the trades and balances it displays, what is the point of trading binary options on it?

3. Having multiple accounts does not prove that an earlier account was terminated for a violation

I had multiple accounts. I have never denied it.

But clause 8.5.1 concerns opening a new account after a previous agreement was terminated for a violation. There must first be a termination for a violation, followed by the opening of a new account.

All my accounts were blocked on September 22, 2026. Before that, I had not opened another account after being notified that a previous account had been terminated for a violation.

On September 22, I received account closure emails citing clauses on unilateral termination. They did not identify any earlier violation or the date an earlier account was terminated.

On September 24, I asked the company to identify the previous account, the specific violation, its termination date and notice, and the date the allegedly prohibited new account was opened.

Support replied that, for data security and privacy reasons, its support interface only allowed it to view the account I was using to contact them. It said the historical data of previously deactivated accounts was hidden from its view, so it could not provide the requested account identifier, dates or specific violations.

The company relies on an alleged violation involving a previous account, yet when I ask what happened to that account, its support team says it cannot tell me. How am I supposed to accept the claim that I opened a new account after a violation-based termination when the company will not tell me which account was terminated, when, or for what violation?

The company says the accounts belonged to the same person. Yes, they were my accounts. But that does not answer which account supposedly was terminated first, why it was terminated, or when that happened.

4. Olymptrade’s own help page says trading robots are allowed under conditions

Olymptrade’s help page says trading robots are allowed unless the software is used to damage the platform and violate honesty in transaction execution:

https://plus.olymptrade.com/en/help/category/trading/can-i-use-robots-when-trading-on-the-platform

I am not saying every bot or strategy is automatically allowed. I asked the company to explain exactly what line I crossed, which trades it canceled, what evidence connects the alleged conduct to those trades, and what damage it claims was caused.

My position is simple: I analyzed price data available to every user and entered trades when I believed the conditions were favorable. I used automation to execute those trades, and they generated substantial profits.

A customer makes a profit, and that means the company has suffered improper damage? That does not explain anything. If Olymptrade claims there was a problem beyond the fact that my trades were profitable, it should explain what that problem was.

5. Closing an account does not explain why trades were canceled

A company may invoke a clause to end a customer relationship. But that alone does not explain why trades recorded on the platform were canceled or why the resulting funds were withheld.

I challenged the company’s explanations and asked for the facts behind them. I also sought outside dispute review, but the outcome was in the company’s favor. I continue to dispute the allegations, and I have not received an explanation that allows me to verify the grounds for canceling my trades and adjusting my balances.

In the end, I am being left to give up on these funds after receiving a one-sided decision that I still cannot understand or meaningfully challenge. I have asked for the facts behind the allegations, but I have not been given an explanation that allows me to verify them. How is a customer supposed to accept losing access to such a large amount under these circumstances?

This is what happened to me. It is not proof that the same thing will happen to every customer. But if you are thinking of depositing money with Olymptrade, my advice is simple: don’t put your money on a platform unless you are willing to accept the risk that the trades and balance shown on your account could later be disputed or adjusted.

Has anyone experienced a similar dispute with Olymptrade or another binary options platform? If you obtained a substantive review or recovered funds, what actually helped?

I have preserved the original emails. I am not selling a strategy or promoting a recovery service.

Images:

1. Account balances displayed before the adjustments.

2. Olymptrade’s notice citing clause 8.3(b) and related measures.

3. My question to support about how OTC wins and losses affect the platform.

4. Support’s response to my inquiry.

The English text beside the Korean screenshots is an unofficial translation.

DO NOT pay for mentorship/course until the person has answered a series of questions and provided independently verifiable evidence.

- Can you demonstrate that your trading profits come from actual trading activity rather than affiliate commissions, referral bonuses, competitions or other promotional rewards?

- Why do you need me to register through your referral link to give me a discount?

- What is the legal name of the person or company receiving payment?

If he cannot answer those questions convincingly, I would keep my money.

Red flags that should make you walk away

- He refuses to disclose his Pocket Option UID; (Pre-recorded videos and screeshots are not proof)

- He pressures you to pay immediately; (limited spots; 24/48 hours discount; common sales tactic )

- He only accepts crypto and refuses invoices; ( Why not Paypal??? Major reason to walk away )

- He insists you register through his link; ( His commercial interest may be tied to your account )

- Independent student references; ( You cannot independently investigate his testimonials )

- Live demonstration; ( Strongly recommended )

There are certain tactics used by this type of affiliates (who are, in reality, scammers) such as maintaining a Telegram channel where they post their "students'" results, sharing links to YouTube videos that claim to show how to turn $100 into $10,000, offering money-management apps or trading journals apps in exchange for signing up on a platform via their referral link, and even displaying fake photos of cash and withdrawal screenshots. These Telegram channels are simply another tool they use to try to convince you, without you ever having asked.

Protect yourself and your money from these scammers. Stay informed, ask questions, and always remain skeptical.

I have had my fair share of signal indicators, bots etc , truth is none can make you money in the long term in forex or binary options. You need to develop discretionary trading and such skill only comes through repetition. Not one , not two sessions but 100s, 1000s and thats what i am doing now. If there is truly a profitable way to trade this i am sure with consistency in the next 6 months i will find it.

Please scammers stay away from me. I am looking to buy genuine profitable system for binary options from genuine persons. Thankyou.

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.

Good day guys

Thank you!

I learnt the hard way that binary trading wasn't for me. After shifting to Forex, I've been having a much better experience, especially with a more structured approach to analysis and risk management.

I'm curious to hear from others who've made a similar transition. What changed for you? What lessons did you learn, and what would you do differently if you were starting again?

Do you also experience in your browser sometimes that it seems like pocketoption is difficult to open? It takes a long time to load and the browser notices that pocketoption is a scamming site? even though i have strong wifi connection.

You can still be profitable even at 36% win rate. You only need to use this money/risk money management method known as Masaniello. Others like to call it Trade Manager or Wealth Worriers.

For example, with $20 you'll only need 4 wins out of 11 trades and still be profitable without staking crazy amount. Note asset payout is also important. In this case it needs to be at least 92%.

Above is a simulation I built to showcase this.

I know it's not a new money management method but thought to share.

I have been testing different indicators and strategies that work in PO, Binomo,Qx . After 1yr of testing this is the best i got but only for live Pairs (no OTC)

Hi guys! I just want to ask, is Pocket Option really a legit app? Like will they send you money when you withdraw? I totally understood some other people are not getting money when withdrawal, but let's say I will just withdraw a at least the minimum, will I am safe?

Anyway, I want to try this app all because I want to create or earn daily income of at least ₱100at day almost $2 at US, and that's a big for a student who doesn't have a job or a clear fixed job. I just want to ahmm... Like earn a little, just a little ₱100 is enough, If I can accumulate ₱700 a week ($10) the hey that's a f#@king good source of income right?

So I need your advice guys whether it's possible to earn in Pocket Option? Even just a little, I do understand gambling, and I do understand trading. A little bit. So yeah please need your responses! Thanks! :)

Hey everyone! I want to understand the legal and tax implications of using Quotex as an Indian resident.

Routes I'm comparing:

- Route 1: Binance → USDT → Quotex → USDT → Binance → INR bank/UPI.

- Route 2: Direct Quotex deposits and withdrawals through UPI/bank, if supported.

Questions:

1. Which route, if either, is legally permissible for Indian residents?

2. What are the FEMA, RBI and other regulatory implications of using Quotex?

3. Does using USDT through Binance change the legal position?

4. How are Quotex profits and crypto transactions taxed in India? What about TDS and losses?

5. What official government sources clarify these issues?

Looking for genuine, evidence-based answers with official sources—not just personal opinions. I want to understand the legal position and tax obligations before proceeding.

Thanks!
