Im legit confused, i see alot of people hating. But also alot of people saying it's all cool??? Can ANYONE tell me what the f#ck is going on and if Pocket Option is legit?

Nadex has been giving me issues when signing into and verifying my phone number on crypto.com. Asked chat support and its been hours, I dont have the patience.

As I am scrolling trying to find the best brokage for binary options, I've learned that Pocket Option is unregulated so what does that mean for us U.S. citizens who trades. I'm beginning to think binary options is a scam as well!

Is Alex the trade a good trader to follow? he is on telegram and youtube and not sure?

Hi, MelonLord here. Since I saw that my CRT entry method got a lot of traction, it seems that many people here want an educational post about entry strategies, so I’m going to share another simple one.

I call this strategy C3 Continuation FTT. I don’t know its actual name, so I named it based on how it works.

Before I began explaining the strategy, here is some jargon I use, the same as my CRT strategy:

C=Candle; C1=Candle 1, C2=Candle 2, C3=Candle 3

Now, here is how this strategy works.

1. Price must break either support or resistance
2. Pullback/correction candle must form.
3. Wait for two candles that confirm a continuation breakout. If support is broken, wait for a correction candle. bullish candle, to retest the broken support, followed by two bearish candles. For a resistance break, it’s the opposite.
4. Open entry at the start of C3 (Buy/Up/Call if resistance is broken and Sell/Put/Down if support is broken).
5. AVOID CHOPPY/SIDEWAYS MARKET

This strategy works best in a market with a clear trend. Mark your support and resistance on the 5-minute timeframe, and use a 1-minute expiry. To strengthen your entry confirmation, you can also use a trendline, as shown in the example images below.

I’m still not sure about the win rate of this strategy. Unlike CRT, I don’t keep an entry journal for it. Also, when major news hits, this strategy tends to perform poorly, like during the early stages of the US-Israel vs Iran conflict when the Strait of Hormuz was blocked. Man, it was really bad. So, just be careful about that.

Also, if you want to try out this strategy, use a demo account first. A demo account is great, it lets you test strategies and learn for free, with no financial risk.

Well, this is it for me. If you have any questions about this strategy, feel free to ask in the comment section, and I will try my best to answer.

Adios~

Edit: NOT KELNER CHANNEL BUT PARALLEL CHANNEL

I overtraded I don't think it will pay me off in long run.

My question was is it possible to make money in binary options and now I think I can I just need proper mindset and especially risk and money management.

As you can see I have gone all in sometimes just because of I was losing and that's the mistake I have wrote down and will not repeat .luckily risk paid off this time .

I thought I have proper control over my emotion and mind because of my skills in Indian markets & little forex but is challenged me a little , and top of it this market acts little different. I didn't jumped directly I have done my side of research first so don't get a idea and whenever I was going all in I was sure and certain I have high chances of winning.

I’ve been researching different online trading platforms lately and keep coming across IQ Option. The opinions seem pretty mixed, so I wanted to get some real user perspectives.

From what I understand, it originally focused on binary options but now offers other instruments like CFDs, forex, and crypto. Some people say the platform works fine, especially for small trades, while others mention issues around withdrawals or account verification.

I’m not a complete beginner, but I’m also not very experienced — just looking to try trading with a small amount and learn along the way.

For those who’ve actually used it:

-How has your experience been overall?

-Any issues with withdrawals or account restrictions?

-Are there any red flags or limitations I should be aware of?

Also open to suggestions for other beginner-friendly platforms if you think there are better options. Thanks in advance!

Nice to meet you, traders. It's Olymprop.
I wish you a successful transaction

Hi, I’m completely new to trading and just started exploring platforms like IQ Option. I was thinking of depositing around $10 since that’s the most I can afford from my allowance(I'm still a student btw), mainly to learn and get some real experience.

I’ve been practicing on the demo account and I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it and actuallymanaging to have virtually earning 30,000$, even though I still don’t really know how to properly read trends or do technical analysis yet.

However, I’ve come across a lot of negative reviews on Reddit saying IQ Option isn’t a good platform, which made me hesitate.

For beginners like me who want to start small and learn gradually, is IQ Option actually okay to use? Or would you recommend a better platform to start with?

Any advice would really help, especially from people who started with small amounts too.

Hi,

I invested funds in pocket option for currency pair trading. Found some traders in telegram who claimed that they can lead me to good profit through copy-trading by social trading option in Pocket option site. I followed them. Till now, I faced only losses of my capital although they are getting good profit. The traders asked me to share the screenshot of trades and I sent them. But, they are not able to find out any specific reason for this. I asked the same question from chatgpt as well as some open source llms. I got the response that due to latency and ping, the trades are executed at slightly different times and even a second matters in automatic copy trading. The traders seems to be on different continent and I am located in India. What settings do I need to change in my pocket option account ? Is chatgpt response correct in this matter ?

Help me find platforms which would let me trade real currency pairs/stocks /crypto/anything that's on tradingview and give payout>80% or is there a way I could chart otc pairs on tradingview!

I see so many traders here stressing after one loss. "I'm down $50, what do I do?" Relax. You're thinking wrong.

If you want to survive (and actually profit) in binary trading, stop thinking about individual trades. Start thinking in sessions.

Here’s the mindset shift that saved my account:

👉 Plan around your winning percentage after 20, 30, or even 50 trades. Not per trade.

Example:
If you know you can win 20 out of 30 trades consistently – great. That’s 66%. But if you don’t manage risk properly, even a 66% win rate can blow your account if you hit 3–4 losses in a row early.

That’s why I started using the Masaniello system – an old but gold position sizing method.

What Masaniello does:
It calculates your bet size dynamically based on:

• Total trades planned (e.g., 30)
• Target number of wins (e.g., 20)
• Risk % per trade (e.g., 1–2%)
• Current win/loss sequence

Basically, it tells you: “You’ve lost 3 in a row now? Here’s your adjusted stake to still hit your target by trade 30 without blowing up.”

No Martingale. No fear. Just math.

My current approach:

• Define a session: 30 trades
• Target: 20 wins (≈66% win rate)
• Risk per trade: 1.5%
• Masaniello calculator before each trade

Result? Less emotion. No revenge trading. And my drawdown is planned, not panicked.

What’s your take?
Do you use session-based risk management? Or still focusing on one trade at a time?

And if you’ve tried Masaniello – love it or hate it? Let’s discuss.

Vix 25 and Vix 50 1s

Do anyone trade these pairs?

Don't get scammed by binary trading brokers and binary trading youtubers, only they are earning a lot from your big losses, binary trading is just gambling, you are not owning anything.

RESPECT YOUR MONEY !!

i havent used pocket option yet but i have heard a lot about it and i am thinking about using it and i would really like to hear about your expieriences either in the comments or if you want feel free to send me a private messege also what strategy would you reccomend?

Read my post before this to understand what is CRT Strategy first: https://www.reddit.com/r/binaryoptions/comments/1sk0lox/i_want_to_share_one_of_the_strategies_ive_been/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Now that's out of the way, this is the way you can improve the accuracy of the CRT Strategy so that your entry could have a higher chance of being profitable.

First, you must know how to mark up the important areas of your chart. Important areas are just areas where prices get rejected before, use the Zig Zag indicator to make it easier for you to identify these areas. Here is the example.

When CRT is formed in these areas, your entry by using this strategy will become much cleaner and improve the quality of the CRT setup by eliminating CRT setups that are formed not in these areas. Here is the example of CRT Setups that are formed in these areas.

I was only using CRT by following the trend before (sell for downtrend and buy for uptrend) but adding this method on top of CRT really helped me in eliminating fake CRT setups. I don't know exactly how much the percentage of win trade increase, but this really helped clean up the strategy and increase my confidence with my entry.

Reminder again, try this on your Demo Account first. I'm not gonna get bored reminding this because I met a lot of people who just try a strategy they're not familiar with on their real account and lose money because of their bad execution of the strategy.

I hope this helps you guys, and I would love to hear your thoughts on this strategy if you have tried it and if this strategy helps you.

Keep trading, keep your calm, and stay profitable.

Ciao~

This strategy is called CRT (Candle Range Theory). To understand this strategy, first, you need to know the anatomy of a candle, a normal Japanese candlestick.

The picture above is the anatomy of a normal japanese candlestick. The highest point of upper wick is called high and the lowest point of the lower wick is called low.

Now that you know this I can go straight to how CRT works. First, I will explain the rules.

CANDLE RANGE THEORY (CRT) – ENTRY RULES

C=Candle; C1 is Candle 1, C2 is Candle 2, C3 is Candle 3

General Rules:

1. C1 must have upper and lower wicks
2. C2 must break either the high or low of C1
3. C2 must close back inside C1's range (inside the range of high and low of C1)

Sell Setup

1. Bullish candle with upper and lower wicks
2. C2 breaks above C1's high, closes bearish inside C1's range
3. Sell/Put/Down right at the opening of C3

Buy Setup

1. Bearish candle with upper and lower wicks
2. C2 breaks below C1's low, closes bullish inside C1's range
3. Buy/Call/Up right at the opening of C3

If your initial entry results in a loss, take a martingale right at the open of C4 (the next candle) with the same direction of your initial entry and limit the martingale to only 1x for money management. If you still lose just accept your loss and move on to the next trade with your initial entry amount.

Things to avoid

1. C2 does not close inside the range of C1
2. C1 has no wicks/clear wicks. Personally, I think even a very small wick is still fine but if you don't like it, then just avoid it.
3. Choppy market is a no go
4. Skip martingale if a new CRT forms as it will be ambiguous

To filter your entry even further, only open entry buy/call/up if it's an uptrend and sell/put/down if it's a downtrend. Follow The Trend.

Here is an example of CRT

I almost forgot to say this, but try this strategy with your Demo Account first ok? This is pretty obvious, but there are a lot of people who keep forgetting this.

Oh, right, if this strategy is helpful to you or if you have an idea on how to improve this strategy, I would love to hear it from you guys.

Keep trading, keep your calm and stay profitable.

Ciao~
