Is Pocket Option a Safe Binary and Olymp Trade broker or is it a Fraud.
In this review, you will know nearly everything about this online trading company.
At the end of the article, you will be able to tell if it is worth to open an account and put your money in it, there is too much to discuss about it.
Stick around.
Pocket Option complete review.
Pocket Option was founded in 2017, so it is not one of the oldest on the market, on the contrary.
Not being one of the best-known brokers, or with more clients, even because it is younger than brokers like IQoption or Olymp Trade, it has some unique things and for this reason, we decided to investigate and test to get to know this broker more thoroughly.

This Pocket Option review will help you decide whether you want to be a customer or not.
One thing I have to say, we have a lot to talk because the broker has many things that are unique in the market and worth knowing.
When I heard about the broker, I thought it was just another one, but as I checked the platform, I discovered a whole new world.
Suddenly it felt like it was in the Candy Crush game, so many things that exist in offers, crystals gems , achievements, bonuses, etc.
After a while, I concluded that the platform is a mix of financial trading and gaming platform in a good way, as many things help traders to win and motivate themselves to trade.
Company and Regulation.
I have noticed something different from this broker concerning all the other Binary Options brokers that I know.
The fact that it accepts clients from almost every country, some of them there is few or no brokers operating such as the United States of America, Europe or  was something that caught my attention from the beginning.
And while I was investigating, I realized that the reason for this was something different from what happens with all the other brokers.
Usually, the broker belongs to a company that has a specific regulation, in the case of Pocket Option, it is different.
Pocket Option is owned or operated by two different companies, each with different regulations.
The main company appears to be Gembell Limited which is located at the Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands MH 96960, and registered under number 86967.
Gembell Limited is regulated by CROFR Center for Regulation of Relations in Financial Markets under license number TSRF RU 0395 AA Vv0141.
The other company is PO TRADE LTD registered in C O LC02 503, Choc Bay, Castries, Saint Lucia with registration number 2019-00207.
All Pocket Option activity is provided by Gembell Limited Services PO TRADE LTD PO TRADE LIMITED, that is, it is provided by both.
This was the broker s ingenious solution that allows it to operate in all countries where virtually no other broker can operate.

Types of Trading.
As you can check in the image below, there are 3 types of trading 6 if you consider that 3 are demo accounts and 3 are real accounts.
Fast Trading and Digital Trading are Binary Options trades, in which the expiration time varies between 30 seconds and 4 hours.
MT5 Olymp Trade is trading on an external platform, and as the name implies, it is for Olymp Trade.
To change the types of trading click on the Trading button in the upper left corner of the platform.
Fast Trading.
Pocket Option Fast Trading is a more recent type of trading since when Pocket Option started in 2017, it only offered Digital Trading previously called Trading only.
The introduction of this type of trading was to allow the Binary Options trader to freely choose the expiration time he wants within the limits of the platform 30 seconds to 4 hours.
Trading Digital has expiration times defined by the platform itself, depending on the times of the candles, as you can see in the explanations below.
Fast Trading has a very simple and basic menu.
As you can see in the image below, in the time menu, you choose exactly how much expiration time you want.
It can be exactly 1 minute, it can be 1 minute and 5 seconds, or the time you want exactly.
For certain strategies, or for example to trade on news it is a suitable format.
Imagine that it is 12 32 pm and you want to place operation to end at 12 58 pm because at 1 00 pm important news comes out and you don t want your operation to be influenced by the market in the pre-news.
If you were using Trading Digital, you would have to choose an expiration at the end of the candle, which would be an expiration at 13 00.
In this type of negotiation, you have the freedom to choose exactly when you want to finish.
The fact that Pocket Option offers both types of trading where you can trade at the end of the candle or at the time you choose is excellent.
Very few Binary Options platforms offer this possibility.
This allows you to use all types of strategies or signals, as much only work well in one of the types of trading, so having both means you are free to use all types of strategies or signals.
pocket option chart.
The question of how you manage the expiration time is the big difference between Fast Trading and Digital Trading.
Everything else works the same way.
The shortest expiration time in both is 30 seconds, with a maximum of 4 hours.
The Payout or the profit offered in each transaction is also the same, whether you are trading in one type or the other.
Digital Trading.
Digital Trading is a type of trading used in a few Binary Options brokers where the expiration time is at the end of the candle.
As you can see in the image below, you will see that there are already pre-defined times.
These times run according to the stopwatch.
Each of them corresponds to the end of the candle, whether the candle is 1 minute, or 2, 5, 15, 30 to 4 hours, which is the largest candle that you can trade.
To understand the difference from Fast Trading, while in Fast you program when you want the expiration time, with total freedom of choice, here you have to choose a time already determined on the platform.
For example, you put operation to finish within 5 minutes.
In Fast Trading, you choose exactly 5 minutes.
In Digital Trading you either wait until you start a new 5-minute candle, or if you enter this exact moment see the image below you would not be able to enter for exactly 5 minutes, but for 4m15s.
This is because it would be entering the end of the 5-minute candle that had already started exactly 45 seconds ago.
pocket option fast trading.
In this type of trading, there is a 30-second hall you can see two vertical lines on the chart.
That is, when you look at the image and see that in M1 trading it has 15 seconds, this means that the total time will be 15 seconds, plus the 30-second extra time, making a total of 45 seconds trading expiration.
If you entered now, your expiration time for the operation would be 45 seconds total.
This type of Trading is ideal for example to use Telegram Signals that use the end of the 5-minute candle as the right expiration time.
Another difference between Digital Trading and Quick Trading is the possibility for the trader to choose a different Stripe Price, and thus increase their profits by up to 218.
This option is a type of Binary option known as Touch.
Choosing a Strike value above the normal value will increase the potential profit, but also increase the difficulty.
This function is not always available.
It depends on the asset, the time, and the expiration time left for the contract to end, which will normally be on expirations between 1 and 3 minutes.
Below you can check a situation where you were active.
Do not forget that the launch price button must be active blue point as it appears in the image.

MT5 is a trading platform in CFDs and Olymp Trade by the company Metaquotes.
This platform and MT4 are the two most used platforms in Olymp Trade brokers worldwide.
It is a platform that, in addition to being very complete, also allows trading with Robots.
About 90 of the world s largest brokers use MT4 or MT5.
In the case of Pocket Option, it opted only for MT5 which is the most recent.
Just because the Broker has purchased the platform license, it is because it is a broker that invests in the best tools to offer its clients, which already offers us some confidence.
To give you an idea, of all the major Binary Options brokers, only Olymp Trade has MT4 in its portfolio, and none has MT5.
The annual cost of MT5 is over 100,000, which means that the company wants to offer the best to their customers.
A very positive note in this case.

PocketOption

To open an MT5 account go to the Trading button in the top left corner, and click.
2 MT5 options will appear, real account, and demo account.
There are two MT5 platform options.
You can trade directly in the browser within the original Pocket Option platform interface, or you can download it to your computer.
By clicking on the MT5 Demo, for example, the platform will appear as shown in the image.
Click on NEXT to go to the menu where you will see the account access data account number and password.
After copying the access data to the Demo MT5 account, go back to the previous menu and paste this data.
By doing this, you will have immediate access to the MT5 account, as you can see in the image beside.
The Pocket Option MT5 demo account, as well as the Binary Options demo account, can be reloaded.
In case you want to open a real MT5 account, you will have to have made deposits with a minimum value of 1000 sum of all deposits made , thus being at the experienced level, which is the minimum to be able to have a real MT5 account.
If you want to download the MT5 platform to your computer, phone, or tablet, click on the menu on the right side, where it says platforms.
You will then find links to download MT5.
You can choose to download the application for Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, or Linux.
Just click and it will start downloading the MT5 application you have chosen.
After downloading you have to install, following the instructions.
The process is simple, but if you have any questions, you can click where it says Installation Guide for help.
After the installation is complete, you can choose to use the MT5 Demo or Real account you already had, copying the platform data into the browser and placing it in the application you downloaded.
The simplest and fastest way to test the Pocket Option platform is to open a free demo account.
You don t even need to register with them to use this training account.
You access the website and click on the Demo Account button to get 10,000 in virtual funds that you can use to trade.
Just click on the CONTINUE TRADING button in the DEMO ACCOUNT, as you can see in the image below.
demo account pocket option.
Even if you are an experienced investor, it is a good option to try the Demo Account before investing your real money.
After all, if you decide that you don t like the platform for any reason, it is much easier to abandon your training account, than to withdraw all your funds and close a real account.
Also, if you are new to binary options trading, the demo account will provide you with sufficient experience to understand whether you want to continue trading on this type of instrument.
The demo account is always free and can be recharged whenever necessary.
Even if you later open a real account you only need to deposit and confirm the account you will always have access to the training account.
To change between the Real account and the Demo account, click on the top of the platform next to your profile and choose the type of account you want to trade at the moment.
In the image below you can see how you can change between accounts on the platform.
Alternate between accounts in Pocket Option.
Real Account.
To open the real account, all you have to do is make a deposit.
By clicking on Deposit Now, you will be redirected to the deposits page.
The minimum deposit on Pocket Option is 50.
Since the broker offers accounts in dollars only, the amount to be deposited, regardless of the currency, must be equivalent to a minimum of 50 US dollars.
In case you want to deposit in another currency, such as Euro, Indian Rupee, etc.
, you deposit your original currency and the platform will convert this amount to Dollar, without charging any type of fee , just making an exchange in the time.
real account pocket option.
This page has 3 different information that you should look at.
Choosing how you will deposit to your real account.
Existing bonuses to be able to deposit.
50 DEPOSIT BONUS.
100 DEPOSIT BONUS.
Your profile level depending on the amount deposited.
how to deposit in pocket option.
Choose the deposit method.
Later on, we will talk about deposit methods at Pocket Option.
They are varied, although it is not a strength of the broker, as others offer more options.
As you can see in the image above, the first thing to do is choose the deposit method, using VISA and Mastercard credit cards or electronic wallets as options.
Click on the desired method and you will be redirected to the next menu, where you will choose the deposit amount and the offers you are entitled to.
Special Offer or Deposit Bonus.
If you are registering with the links above that entitles you from 50 to 100 deposit bonus, you will receive 50 to 100 of the deposited amount up to a maximum of US 5,000.
It is important to inform you that the deposit bonus can be withdrawn if the trader makes a certain trading volume.
In the case of the example in the image below, for a deposit of 100 or equivalent in your currency , you would have to move a total of 2,500 in trades counting lost transactions and winning transactions to withdraw the value of this bonus.
That is, you would have to negotiate a total volume of 25x the amount of the deposit bonus.
In addition to the Deposit Bonus, the broker also offers other advantages, which vary with your profile.
See the image below.
exemple of deposit with bonus in pocket option.
Profile Level.
The profile level is another of the unique features of Pocket Option.
Some brokers have, for example, a VIP account where, depending on the account value or deposit amount, the trader has access to some advantages.
Here the broker took this function much further.
There is a total of 7 profile levels, each with many advantages and characteristics, which to explain everything would require an extensive article, dedicated only to inform what each level has and what are the differences between them.
The profile levels are.
As you can see in the image below, what distinguishes each of the 7 profiles is the value of the account balance, that is, it does not count what was deposited, but the value of the account, so even those who deposit only 50 dollars, you can reach Guru if you earn earnings and your account balance increases.
This rule is excellent because the trader can move up the profile and thus obtain other advantages, not only because he has money to deposit, but because he had positive results that allowed him to move up the tier.

PocketOption

Profile Levels Pocket Option.
On the other hand, when the trader loses or makes a withdrawal, and the balance changes, the value of the profile here will also be automatically updated according to the new account balance.
Advantages of the levels.
There are many advantages to levels.
Of course, as you level up, the benefits will also increase.
Just to mention some of the exclusive advantages that Pocket Option offers to its traders, see the list below.
Increase in the payment of profits up to 8.
Refund of lost transactions up to 1100.
Increase in the speed of withdrawals.
Personal account manager.
Increase in the number of open operations.
Increase in the number of assets to trade.
Increase of indicators available on the platform.
These are just some of the advantages that can be obtained by going up the profile.
In addition to higher profits or trading tools, there are offers, such as gems, experience points, and boosters, which offer points that can be exchanged for cash or other advantages such as special bonuses, or redemption of lost transactions.
In general, the platform always has something to offer the trader, as long as he trades.
The system is designed so that the trader is always interested in operating on the platform, always offering a world of advantages.
This is why at the beginning of this review I said the Broker looked like a mix between a financial platform and a game.
Trading Instruments.
Pocket Option offers 3 trading instruments.
Money-or-nothing Binary Options.
It is the simplest system and used by all Binary Options brokers.
It consists of betting on increasing or decreasing the value of the active.
Here it does not matter what the final value is, but only if it is above or below the value when placing the operation.
If you make a mistake, you lose the stake.
If you can find a strategy that allows you to get more than 60 of certain bets, you will have profits, provided you trade with assets that offer profits above 65.
One-touch Binary Options.
This option is available on Trading Digital.
It is the option where we choose the Strike Price, which is the value where we want the price to arrive within the active expiration time for the operation.
It is a type of trading that offers higher profits, but has more risk, as it forces not only to get it right in the direction of the price but also for it to reach the value, we determined in Strike Price.
For this reason, profits in these operations can go above 200 , while in the previous model, it is around 80 to 90 at the most.
Olymp Trade and CFDs.
The trading of this trading instrument is exclusive to the MT5 platform.
To learn more about it, read our review on FOREX.
From what you have already read about the Pocket Option platform, you are left with the idea of how complete it is and what it has to offer.
Speaking only of the negotiation aspect, the platform is simple and intuitive.
However, with all the features I mentioned above, it ends up having a lot of information and a lot of buttons, which for a less experienced trader can even become somewhat confusing at an early stage.
In the most important feature that is trading itself, the platform works well.
In addition to being very quick to react, the essential buttons for trading are in the right place and organized correctly.
Not personally being my favorite platform even because I am more used to IQoption it is true that it is pretty cool platform.
After some time with it, it becomes practical and simple to use.
I want to mention 3 areas of the platform that you should know to correctly configure the trading platform.
Chart Types.
At the top of the trading platform, you will find 3 buttons see image below.
It is in these 3 buttons that you configure the appearance of the platform and the trading tools and indicators.
Going from left to right we find the Chart Types button.
This button allows you to choose whether to use lines, candles, or another type of visualization of asset price movements.
The form I normally use, and that most traders use, are Candles, or Japanese Candles Japanese Candles.
In addition to this option, there are also the options of Area, Lines, Bars, and Heiken Ashi.
In this button, you must also choose the Time Frame.
The Time Frame is the duration of the candles or bars if you have chosen one of these viewing options.
Each candle or bar will have a specific duration that can be chosen from 5 seconds S5 to 1 day D1.
The correct choice of Time Frame depending on the type of trade and strategy you will use is very important, because if you choose the wrong or inappropriate time frame for your strategy, it will not work.
To learn more about strategies, be sure to read our article where we explain the Best Strategies for Binary Options.
This button also has the option to change the colors of the candles and to enable or disable the timer.
platform Charts Pocket Option.
The second button is the indicator button.
Here you will find all the main technical indicators that serve to design and use trading strategies.
Do not forget that here on the Blog you have access to a course that will teach you how to trade and use strategies with technical indicators.
To know the course, click on the link below.
platform Indicators Pocket Option.
In addition to the technical indicators, there is also a third button where you will find several useful graphical tools.
Graphics Tools.
These tools allow you to draw several lines, such as supports and resistances.
You also have the option of designing channels or using the Fibonacci sequence that allows you to place the Fibonacci retraction, which is also widely used by professional traders.
Graphical tools Platform Pocket Option.
On the right, there is also the option of Social Trading, Market Surveillance, and the Zoom function of the platform.
Another of the characteristics of this platform is that even the Up and Down buttons Call and Put you can change the layout, placing one to the left and one to the right, or simply next to each other.
Platform buttons Pocket Option.
In terms of profits, the broker pays up to 96 in normal fixed-price Binary Options contracts, which ends up being similar to the best brokers in the market.
Like the other platforms, the percentage of profit is variable.
This variation depends on the time and the traded asset.
Your profile also influences, because the higher your profile, the higher the percentage of profit you are entitled to up to 8 more in the highest-profile.
But on average, profits on each Binary Options transaction range from 60 to 90.
However, you can earn up to 218 if you use Strike Price in Trading Digital as explained previously.
Pocket Option Bonuses and Promotions.
When depositing you can obtain a Deposit Bonus.
The normal value of this deposit is 50 of the deposited amount, up to a maximum of 5,000.
Not only will you have access to several bonuses, but you will also be able to receive prizes according to your negotiations where you can exchange for other bonuses or prizes.
Another advantage that Pocket Option offers, concerning other brokers is that the Bonus offered can be withdrawn.
To do this, you will need to make a trading volume between 25 to 100 times the value of the Bonus.
In most brokers that offer bonuses, these cannot be withdrawn, or the volume required is 40 times, in this range, we recommend that you check the conditions of the bonus offered before accepting.
If you want to receive a 50 Bonus click on the BUTTON below.
It is also important to note that you can cancel the Bonus at any time.
You should also know that if you have a Bonus and make a withdrawal before completing the 25x volume, the broker will automatically withdraw the Bonus.
But the advantage is that you can always make withdrawals, while some brokers prevent you from withdrawing while you have active bonuses.

PocketOption

Lack of some Deposit Methods you might prefer.
Difficult trading platform for beginners with everything it has to offer.

Lack of training material in your own native language maybe.
Conclusion Pocket Option.
Pocket Option was able to take the type of platform that is used by the main brokers and increase the offer of services, making trading more fun.
However, everything it has gathered on its platform turns out to be something complicated to understand for an inexperienced trader.
Of course, the main thing that is trading itself, is fluid and simple to understand, as the trading interface is intuitive.
In general, it is a broker with unique characteristics, many of them interesting, and which are worth testing.

Pocket Option is a binary options broker run by Gembell Limited, a company that is based in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The site seems like it is geared in part toward n traders, but it does accept traders from most countries worldwide.
The only regulation it mentions is IFMRRC License number TSRF RU 0395 AA Vv0158.
To be clear, this is an independent organization, not a government agency.
Is it a good place to trade.
Let s take a look at what Pocket Option has to offer, starting with how you can open an account and make a deposit.
We ll then talk about the proprietary trading platform, features, bonuses, and more.
Getting Started on Pocket Option.
Anyone can sign up for a Pocket Option account; the site does not even ask your country when you make an account.
But the site states that it does not do business with customers from the USA, Japan, Israel, or EEA countries.
I should note that customer service gave some mixed info here.
At one point, the agent said, Card payments are not available in the US due to settings of our financial provider.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
This seemed to imply US trading was allowed.
I asked for clarification, and received this vague reply We provide services to clients from all countries where these services are legal.
Please note that it is the clients responsibility to comply with local legislation since it differs from country to country.
So, you can trade with a demo account from anywhere, but if you want to trade with real money, you need to make sure you are in a territory that Pocket Option allows and is legal.
One nice thing about Pocket Option is that the demo account appears to be unrestricted.
Pocket Option says, There is absolutely no difference between demo and real trading except for the trading account balance.
Charts, quotes, payout percentages, and all other trading settings are absolutely identical.
The site accepts numerous deposit options, including MIR, credit or debit card, QIWI, WebMoney, Bitcoin, Jeton, Fasapay, Perfect Money, VLoad, advcash, Litecoin, Stellar Lumen, Ethereum, Paxos, and bank wire.

PocketOption

You only need to make a 50 deposit to start trading live.
What deposit currencies are available.
It is oddly hard to get a complete answer.
Cryptocurrencies you can deposit with include Bitcoin, Litecoin, Pax, Stellar Lumen, Ethereum, Zcash, and Tether USDT.
I tried to get an answer on fiat currencies, but support could only say, You can find the available deposit options on the Finance Deposit page.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete your payment.
If the desired deposit option is not present on the mentioned page, it means that we do not support it at the present moment.
That screen only listed cryptocurrencies for me, so I will have to assume that is all there is, at least for my region.
Fee-Free Trading.
One of the best things about Pocket Option is that trading here is affordable from a fees and commissions standpoint.
Pocket Option says, We do not charge any deposit or withdrawal fees.
If the received amount is slightly less than specified it is due to the fact of a currency exchange or payment service fees.
There is a 10 withdrawal minimum, but there are no commissions, and I found no references to any other fees or restrictions.
The Pocket Option Platform and Features.
The proprietary platform on Pocket Option can be a bit overwhelming to the eye the first time you see it, in part because it is just so different from what you may be used to on other binary options websites.
Nonetheless, once you find your way around, it seem pretty straightforward.
The site does offer a platform guide and a video tutorial to help you get started, along with trading strategies, a glossary, and tips and tricks.
In terms of trading tools, you can customize your charts and set up indicators.
You also can use signals or social trading to help you plan your investments.
You can enter tournaments on the site as well.
Types of trades include High Low and short-term trades as fast as 30 seconds.
So, that is not a huge variety.
There are 84 trading instruments including currencies, cryptocurrencies, stocks and commodities.
The minimum trade size is only 1.
The maximum is 1,000 by default, but at the top account tier, it is 50,000.
Pocket Option has a ton of different promotions.
When you sign up and deposit, you will be assigned an account tier based on your balance.
Newbie Balance less than 100 Beginner Min balance 100 Experienced Min balance 1,000 Master Min balance 5,000 Pro Min balance 15,000 Guru Min balance 50,000.
Depending on your account tier, you can select from a range of different promotions in the Market, including promo codes, bonus to balance, risk-free trades, cashback, boosters, prolongators, gems, chests, and VIP tickets.
You purchase these.
The site explains, You can either use the balance of your gems or funds on the balance of your trading account.
The entire system appears very similar to microtransactions from video games, and is probably directly inspired by it.
While a wide variety of promotions is a good thing, generally speaking, microtransactions and gamification are not something many people like.
So, it is hard to feel great about this, especially in the financial trading industry.
Friendly Customer Support.
I did have to ask customer support a number of questions because it was hard to find the info I needed in the FAQ also, the deposit page was broken.
Support was pretty slow, but was very friendly.
The chat agent was clearly doing their best to answer as many of the questions as possible.
Conclusion Interesting, But Not Incredible.
Pocket Option has some cool features a wide variety of bonuses, a demo account with no strings attached, and a unique platform.
On the not so bright side, they lack regulation, do not seem wholly transparent, and provided some contradictory information.
Their bonus system is innovative, but seems alarmingly reminiscent of gaming microtransactions, which are good at increasing engagement and loyalty but are also prone to produce false sense of achievement in traders.
So, we cannot give them a full-scale recommendation at this point.
Anyway, you can always check them out yourself if you are feeling curious.
Share and Enjoy.
