Money Management Rules That Keep a Binary Options Account Alive

Set one number and do not move it: the share of your balance risked per trade. One to two percent is the standard range. On a 500 USD balance that is a 5 to 10 USD trade, which feels too small to most beginners. That feeling is the reason most beginners do not have an account after three months.

Recalculate the amount weekly, not after every trade. Recalculating constantly turns into revenge sizing after losses.

Martingale means doubling after a loss to recover it. It works until it does not. A run of seven losses starting at 5 USD requires a 640 USD trade on the eighth attempt to recover roughly 5 USD of profit.

Seven consecutive losses is not rare. At a 55 percent win rate it will happen to you inside a few hundred trades with near certainty. Martingale does not reduce risk, it moves all of the risk into one unlikely-looking day.

Decide before the session how much you are willing to lose that day and how much profit ends the day. Three losses or three wins is a common version. Both limits matter — traders lose profitable days back more often than they blow up accounts.

Write the two numbers down before the first trade. A limit you set while losing is not a limit.

Log every trade: pair, time, setup name, payout, result. After 100 trades you will find that two or three setups produce nearly all your profit and the rest bleed it away. Without the log you will never know which is which.

Trading carries real risk of losing your capital. No signal service, including this one, changes that. Trade only money you can afford to lose.
