What is your binary options success rate?
Not financial advice. For testing purposes only. Do not use on live account
Mine; 55.4%.

I use various indicators, all with very short time (2,3) settings, mix into one overview chart. I counter-trade the peaks/bottoms and also watch trendlines, PSAR and a few others things.

Lessons learned?
* Countertrends are okay. If you have patience to wait for the right setup/
* Going with the trend may be very interesting. Why don't I do it more?
* PSAR, in cTrader, 1 tick chart, with the right settings is great.

Share your findings!

depends what your lookin at for success ratio

win/lose ratio ?

The money you have been able to withdraw from the crock brokers ?

The total amount of money you have made ?


Who do you trade with ?
Learn, a forex trader must, unlearn and relearn he will.
highest number of wins in a row is 6 before a record a loss.
lets just say, it varies, depending on lots of factors

In terms of actual money; there is something like a system though. For example; start with $100>win>win>win>new $100>lose>new $100 etc.

I tend to try to get 3 winners in a row, each time re-investing all. This is a martingale, but a positive one, I never would want to martingale to recover losses. Any other ideas?

I don't think that IG BO's operate as exchange. Look at their ladder or OT spreads.

What is your binary options success rate?
My strategy has had a winning rate of (about) 55% so far.
Trading is the hardest way to make easy money...
I feel like a goof now, I just assumed they were because NADEX is a part of them. And I guess I give them more respect because they have been around for 40 years regulated in the UK compared to all the other crock brokers. And Assume people wouldn't have a hard time withdrawing from them. I say that because I have yet to find a broker that doesn't have a negative review and people not being able to withdraw money.

You will not have problems with withdrawing. They've increased the spreads of most of their binary options during the last year. A few months ago their spreads were higher than the spreads at Nadex. This is the clear sign that Nadex is an exchange while IG is not.

Spreads are not applicable on sprint market binary options (1M, 2M, 5M, 20M, 60M). I have also yet to see any "tinkering" with spreads like other BO brokers may do. I review some trades closely, and using data from another broker (tick data, with spread), IG still matched PERFECTLY (i.e. near perfect match on the tick). I was very impressed.

I was talking about the other types of binaries such as ladders and OT.

Wow, I just had some success I have to share. See these older threads;

They have a NN tool called UGAlib, which can be modified to find optimal values for parameters. You can finetune everything, for example iRSI period, compare value, binary option expiry (just compare close[i] to close[i-5] or something).

Been playing around with only iRSI and already seeing ~60% values (1 signal every 2 hours), which when run on another data set (200k 1M bars) gives still 58%. This looks great.

Im sorry when you say 58% and 60% what are you referring to ?

% Correct trades based on Close-to-Close[x] compare (where x is the binary option expiry time), on EURUSD M1, tested accross 250k bars (~6 months of data) based on some easy formula (just playing around with iRSI and iMA only atm), all auto-optimized with UGA.

For anyone who seriously starts playing with this, ping me and we'll have a Skype call.
