Getting how it should be done
October 22, 2025

At first it was pretty exotic, as I have never tried this kind of trading before, but followed several influencers on insta and was watching how they trade. Anyway, in reality it's of course harder, but after several months I'm getting how it's better to approach. I found the support and resistances zones on a higher time frame and the execution on a lower time frame to work the best for me. Btw, withdrawals are not an issue, they are working as they should.

Good broker with different options
October 19, 2025

There are some guides fr beginners which were useful for me in the start. Also i got advantage form the strategies section. I made some decent trend strategy from MAs and RSI that works inconsistently. But the main thing for me was the multiple trading accounts. I see it as a way to necessary diversification. I am interested in stock market also but for me it's something serious so i am not there yet.

Dear Youssef Y.,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts.
We're glad to hear that you liked our trading strategies and the diverse range of trading modes we offer.

What you described in your review aligns with the values we stand for: helping traders with limited trading experience and providing more opportunities for trading, rather than limiting the platform to a quick trading mode. Traders can find both basic and advanced trading strategies, based on technical analysis, from our platform or by downloading a separate trading app.

As for the real shares trading mode, we hope you'll come there later. For now, you can enjoy either trading CFD on stocks by using leverage or in quick trading mode. Choose what appeals to you the most. We'll be here to assist at every step of the trading journey.

Best regards,

Pretty cool that they offer shares forex and QT and I understand why, because different traders want different styles to trade...
For me best was QT beause I try forex shares too but not very good my attention is split. When I just tradeq quick trading it's better becasue I can focus on it and I am trying to do M1 and M5 and it's good so far.

Only trade large payouts
October 13, 2025

If youre trading large volumes, mby not the best, but for small trades, I use this. Faster to load in, both on web and in the app, and trades look fun, always. Watch the payout %, if its above 80%, and the trade looks fun, I take it. Less then 70%, I never do - there are a lot of pairs like that.

If you can easily put money into your account and you can equally easy get it then it makes broker more legitg in my eyes not conditions not support but payments. Pocket option make sure payemnts are top tier because when you open deposit you see soo many different options crypto traditional cards and wallets its super legit with no comission too but only network fee if crypto. I tried withdrawal too its fast but one things to make sure yo uare verified this makes process easy and gets your money quick. About trading its very comfortable as well I am using less levearge like 100 for now but when I get better in this strategy I make it more.

A bit of complication
October 3, 2025

About the achivements, well, a little undercooked there really😅
Nah but what I mean is that they could have done it simple, but they have like multiple types of shards and all are given for being active but for a specific bonus you need specific shards and idk if there is any conversion between these, they could have just done one type of gems and it would hav ebeen simple. On the trading side, its simple though you have multiple accounts. I like that each mode has a demo so you can try out for free before making any investments, and you can get some strategies as well but make sure you get the ones with longer explanations.

In many ways its an improvement
September 25, 2025

Compared to regular broker, lots of thigngs are better here: the way they have 3 modes for trading, all very distinct, and the way they introduce achievements too. There is even a way to get interest for the money you're currnelty not using in trading. Its saved up in South African banks, as far as I could check, and you get a decent interest on it, much higher than any European banks would give. Trading itself, rather solid, although the AI didnt really win any profit for me. Not sure how useful it is in the long run. Support, is mostly done by volunteers. Unless you create a ticket, the only response you can get is from other traders or moderators in chats (moderators dont work for thheem, they're just regular users too). Not sure I vibe with that approach, I would appreciate if in support chats, at least 1-2 guys were actual team members. But so far, responses from people are ok and decently fast.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, we really appreciate it!

We’re glad to hear that you notice the improvements and versatility of Pocket Option compared to traditional brokers. The three distinct trading modes are specifically designed to provide traders with flexibility, so it’s great that you find them useful.

The achievements system and interest on unused funds are features we added to make trading more rewarding and engaging. It's great to know you find these features interesting and exciting.

Regarding trading itself, we understand that AI tools may not always bring profits immediately. They are intended as a supplementary feature for learning and experimenting with strategies rather than guaranteed gains. We encourage testing them alongside your own methods to see what works best.

Thank you for your suggestions regarding support. We will take them into consideration for future improvements!

Providing a quality and professional trading experience is one of our top priorities. We implemented an AI chatbot to make traders' interactions with support instant, saving the waiting time. While we understand that nothing can replace human support, traders can still create a ticket request in the “Help” section on our platform to directly communicate with our technical support specialists. It may indeed take some time to process your request.

We again apologize for any inconvenience that may be caused by your interactions with our support. Your feedback is taken seriously, and we strive to continually improve our trading experience.

I had many platforms to compare with
September 11, 2025

In terms of options trading, pocket option is the best. I can be 100% objective here, since I compared many platforms and haven't yet found similar brokers in the rich variety of features and amount of assets that have 90% higher profitability rates. Majority of fx pairs, crypto and blue chip stocks has this high rate. Of course it matters, allowing to have almost x2 in wins, similar to classic ½ positions in trading for the long-term consistency.

Tried Pocket Option and one thing i noticed from the very start that amazed me and wasn't aware of that… the payout rates are very high, like up to 92% on major forex pairs. What I like most is that you get this rate from day one, no need to deposit big amount or trade for months to unlock better rates. On some other brokers I used, you must wait 3 months to reach VIP level, before getting 90% payout rate… here even small deposit, like 10 usd, you can trade with top rate… this is what set them apart from the rest. This feel fair and simple, no tricks, and cost of trading very reasonable

Dear Eisa H.,

We're genuinely touched by your recognition of our fair payout structure!

You've underlined what we believe sets Pocket Option apart in the trading industry. Offering payouts up to 92% from day one, regardless of deposit size or trading volume, represents our core philosophy of equal opportunity trading. While other platforms create artificial barriers, we believe every trader deserves access to competitive rates immediately upon joining.

Whether you start with our $10 minimum deposit or invest more substantial amounts, you receive the same advantageous trading conditions. This transparent approach eliminates the frustration of locked features and ensures that success depends solely on your trading skills rather than account status. We built our platform on fairness and accessibility, making professional trading conditions available to everyone.

If you need any assistance or want to explore additional platform features, our support team is always accessible through the platform chat.

Why it's different
September 2, 2025

I noticed while I was trading on the platform, some assets have a high profitability rate, while others have a low percentage. Why is it different?! I just want to know how it works, not tryin' to complain about it. Please add more information about trading conditions for clarity in one place, I don't want to open multiple sections, I think it will be much better, just my recommendation.

Dear Arman S.,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! You're absolutely right, profitability can vary depending on the asset you choose to trade. This is because different assets have different market dynamics, volatility, and payout structures, which influence the percentage returns.

We understand that clarity is important, and we're continuously working on providing more detailed information to help traders make informed decisions. You can find more about assets, trading signals, strategies, pending trades, and more using the 'Help' → 'Guides and Tutorials' section inside your trading window: https://pocketoption.com/en/cabinet/platform-guide/

Pocket Option worked well for me
August 28, 2025

I trade here almost year and for payments I can say is mostly smooth. Isnt' that that matter the most… of course if you know how to trade profitably. What can I say, deposit with crypto and Visa card is instant, I never had issue. Withdrawals also okay… within the standard timeframes, like a day or so. Same with withdrawals, never had any kind of issues with transfers. I see some people complain online about delay, but I think they not finish verification or maybe use bonus and not read rules. For me, every payment I request I recive, no cancel. It's not instant like magic, but compare to other brokers I try, Pocket Option is reliable for payments, so I not worry when I trade here.

I thought this was a simple options trading platform if I'm being real. It isn't. It's like a full-scale trading platform and they even have their own "in-game" currency to buy account upgrades and some kind of bonuses. Haven't really tried it yet but it feels a bit unnecessary... Maybe it's a 5 head move though and I just don't get it idk

While Pocket Option is indeed built around simple and intuitive options trading, we’ve also added a range of advanced features to give traders more flexibility and engagement. The “in-game” currency you mentioned is part of our Gamification system, which allows users to unlock bonuses, tools, and upgrades. It’s entirely optional but designed to enhance the experience for those who want more.

That said, we understand it might not be for everyone, and we’re always working to strike the right balance between simplicity and innovation.

Didn't expect trading to be fun

Trading can be interesting, and pocket option made one addition to make it happen :D They implemented chat right in the platform. Like i don't have to chat on whatsapp with my buddies while trading, we can talk and share ideas on the platform. This made trading experience more enjoyable, i think anybody who uses this feature can relate. For trading conditions and environment - it's okay.

Regarding trading conditions, we always strive to offer the best possible terms. However, it is important to note that some instruments may yield lower returns than others. The profitability rate takes into account the asset's volatility and trading volume.

When I saw many modes and that most prefer QT i thought about spreads being high on forex because it's not as popular. BUt I was wrong and they were like 1.5 pips on average for eur/usd Ithink this is still market average and I like to see these kind of spreads. This means they are not forcing you to trade binary but you can trade shares and forex with tight spreads as well and I like that conditions are fair for all the modes, this is good business from pocket option.

Forex binary trading
July 30, 2025

Pocket option is currently the best choice for trading forex majors in binary mode. The profitability rate is around 92% and with a proper risk management strategy, and winning rate of about 60% you can make consistent profits. The better your winning rate, the larger the gains. It's as simple as that. No need for comlex trading strategies, just take one or two indicators, such MA and RSI and you are all covered.
