How I Built True Trading Discipline Through a Binary Options Trading Journal

From the moment I placed my first binary options trade, I told myself I was disciplined. I repeated it like a mantra: “I follow rules. I wait for setups. I stay in control.” It took me losing multiple small accounts to finally admit that I wasn’t half as disciplined as I believed. I had flashes […]

The Psychology of Binary Options: Why Demo Feels Easy and Live Hurts

The first time I opened a binary options demo account, I felt like I had discovered a secret portal. Everything seemed simple. I was placing trades quickly, experimenting with different expiry times, and watching my balance grow.

Why Greed Destroys More Binary Accounts Than Strategy Mistakes

I started my binary options journey full of hope and excitement. My account balance was $1,000, and I felt confident I could turn small wins into steady growth. Very quickly, I discovered that what destroys more accounts than strategy mistakes is greed. Not technical errors or missed setups, but the urge to chase bigger wins, […]

Surviving Losing Streaks: My Binary Options Risk Management Plan

The worst day of my trading life started like any other. I sat in front of my laptop, coffee in hand, charts open, confidence high. By evening, I had lost nine trades in a row. My $1,000 account had fallen below $600. I stared at the screen in disbelief. The market wasn’t cruel — my […]

How Many Trades Should You Take in a Day?

When I started trading binary options, I used to think more trades meant more chances to win. I’d take ten, sometimes twenty positions in a day, jumping between EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, and even gold. It felt productive, like I was working hard. But soon, I realized I wasn’t building consistency; I was chasing adrenaline. Binary options […]

Binary Options Money Management Rules Beginners Ignore

When I started trading binary options, I thought I had it all figured out. The charts, the patterns, the entry points, everything seemed clear. But it wasn’t the market that took my balance down; it was my own lack of money management. My early trades weren’t about bad signals, they were about bad discipline. Over […]

Support & Resistance Trading in Binary Options (Step by Step)

When I first stumbled upon support and resistance trading in binary options, I treated those horizontal lines like magic. I thought if I could just mark them correctly, the market would respect them every time. But the truth turned out more complicated, and far more interesting. What I discovered over hundreds of trades wasn’t just […]

Martingale vs Fixed Stake: Which Risk Strategy Survives Longer?

I remember the moment I first tested a martingale system in my binary options account. I was fresh off a few wins using a fixed stake approach, always risking the same amount on each trade, and thought: maybe if I switch to doubling losers I can accelerate profits. So I did. That shift set off […]

Fibonacci Retracements in Binary Options: Useful or Useless?

I’ve always had a complicated relationship with Fibonacci retracements. The idea that markets somehow respect ratios like 61.8% or 38.2% used to sound mystical to me—like traders trying to make sense of randomness with elegant math. But after years of trading binary options, especially short expiries, I decided to stop reading opinions and start testing […]

Moving Averages: Which Setting Works Best in Binary Options?

When I first started trading binary options, moving averages seemed almost magical. I’d seen charts where a simple line glided smoothly through the chaos, and traders claimed it revealed the trend. I figured that if I just picked the right moving average setting, I could predict the market and win most of my trades. But […]
