For those who like to dig in articles and trading concepts, pocket option blog is a treasure trove. I literally got lost there and spent, actually i'm still there, a lot of time. While it's rich with content, and I like how wide it is, it would be great if they add some filters, or categorise in more categories. It would be easier for navigation.
But anyway, one can learn a lot here.
Lo he estado usando principalmente para operar forex, y no puedo decir que sea el top de la industria pero está entre las plataformas estables, eso seguro. Los spreads son tolerables, solo hay que ser preciso durante las noticias importantes. Una vez tuve un ligero aumento en mis spreads para los pares con euro. También tienen su comunidad de traders – a veces bastante útil en mi opinión.
Estimada usuario Felipa Sepulveda,
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia.
Nos alegra saber que tu experiencia general de trading ha sido estable y que la plataforma cumple con tus expectativas para operar forex. Como bien señalaste, los spreads pueden variar durante eventos de noticias importantes o periodos de mayor volatilidad: este es un comportamiento normal del mercado, impulsado por las condiciones de liquidez.
También es bueno saber que encuentras útil a la comunidad de traders. El acceso a perspectivas compartidas y discusiones puede ser una buena adición al análisis individual.
Si alguna vez necesitas asistencia o tienes preguntas sobre las condiciones de trading, nuestro equipo de soporte siempre está listo para ayudar.
Saludos cordiales,

In most parts, they have done a good job. I have been around for some time and trust me when I say this is the platform with most payment methods integrated. But this made it a bit more complicated I think. One of the most annoying things is that you need to verify your bank account, whatever it is: bank card, wallet almost every time or every second time you withdraw. Don't get the reasons for that. It's a bit annoying, but it's not a dealbreaker, especially when you are told that it's for your own safety :/
Dear Sami A.,
Thank you for your detailed feedback.
We’re glad to hear that you appreciate the wide range of payment methods available on the platform. At the same time, we understand your concerns regarding repeated verification during withdrawals.
Such verification procedures are part of our security and compliance measures. They are designed to protect client funds, prevent unauthorized transactions, and ensure that withdrawals are processed only to verified payment details. Depending on factors like payment method, transaction history, or security checks, additional confirmation may occasionally be required.
We understand that this can feel repetitive, and your feedback is important as we continue working to make the process both secure and more convenient.
If you ever need clarification or assistance, our support team is always ready to help.

من ناحية الميزات وسهولة الوصول للتداول، هم الأفضل. أي شخص تقريباً يقدر يبدأ التداول في وضع التداول السريع بإيداعات بسيطة كذا (بس يعتمد على طريقة الدفع).
وبنفس الوقت، بالنسبة للإعدادات المعقدة، فيه أدوات ناقصة. مثلاً بالنسبة للفوركس، كنت أتوقع أشوف شي مثل الرافعة المالية الديناميكية. عشان كذا لازم أعطيهم 4 بجدارة، مع ترك مجال للتحسين.
عزيزي Salim K.،
نقدّر وجهة نظرك الصادقة حول مميزات وعيوب Pocket Option.
على الرغم من أن الكمال أمر يصعب تحقيقه، نظراً لاختلاف احتياجات المتداولين، إلا أننا نواصل تطوير خدماتنا. على سبيل المثال، أدخلنا آلية رافعة مالية أكثر فعالية في وضع تداول الفوركس، حيث أصبحت قابلة للتعديل لكل زوج عملات للحصول على تحكم أفضل في كل مركز.
أما بالنسبة لسهولة الوصول وتنوع ميزات التداول، فإننا نبذل قصارى جهدنا لإبقاء أبواب التداول مفتوحة للجميع، بصرف النظر عن رأس المال.
نحن منفتحون دائماً على الملاحظات البنّاءة. إذا أردت مشاركة أي شيء آخر، فلا تتردد في التواصل مع فريق الدعم لدينا.
أطيب التحيات،

In general, I like the platform's perfomance when I do scalping with bitcoin and for sure pocket option isn't scam, but occasionally i had unexpected spreads last month, and it caused me thinking about the platform.
Markets are shaly, esepcially these days, and having proper risk managemtn cruical so gotta need to be 100% sure about how things would go in future
Dear Silvana E.,
We are glad to hear that you are satisfied with the platform’s scalping performance, especially on Bitcoin.
At the same time, we appreciate your feedback regarding the occasional spread changes you noticed. Please note that spreads and pricing conditions may vary depending on market volatility and liquidity, particularly in fast-moving markets such as cryptocurrencies. Periods of increased activity can lead to temporary fluctuations, which are a normal aspect of trading environments.
We fully agree that proper risk management is essential, and we encourage all clients to consider market conditions when planning their strategies.
Your feedback is valuable to us, and we remain committed to providing a stable and transparent trading experience.

He estado probando el quick trading acá con los pares principales de forex de vez en cuando. Los payouts están bastante decentes en algunas sesiones y la sección de señales tira buenas ideas para operar. Todavía sigo experimentando con distintas estrategias eso sí
Estimado usuario Ignacio M.,
¡Gracias por compartir su experiencia!
Es excelente verlo probando activamente el modo Quick Trading con los pares principales de forex. Es justamente así como la mayoría de los traders comienzan a entender cómo se comporta la plataforma en distintas sesiones. Como bien notaste, las tasas de payout pueden variar dependiendo de las condiciones del mercado y el horario, así que encontrar esas ""buenas sesiones"" es parte del proceso.
También nos alegra que hayas mencionado la sección de señales. Puede ser una fuente útil de ideas, especialmente cuando se está experimentando con distintas estrategias, siempre que se combine con su propio análisis y gestión del riesgo.
Sigue explorando, refinando tus setups y probando lo que mejor te funcione. Esta etapa es donde sucede el verdadero progreso. ¡Te deseamos una mejora constante y operaciones exitosas!

I went through the complete trading process to understand it myself Didn't face any troubles though. Both deposit and withdrawal matched my speed expectations, orders were filled accurately, no strange activity from charts, quotes seemed to be legit. I will continue trading here, but only in forex mode. Qt is not for me Emotions can take over there, as no stoploss,
Dear Ignacio V.,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We’re glad to hear that your full trading cycle, from deposits and withdrawals to order execution, met your expectations and felt transparent. Providing stable performance and reliable pricing is a key priority for us.
Your decision to focus on forex trading also makes sense. As you noted, different trading modes require different approaches, and choosing the one that best fits your discipline and risk management style is important. Quick Trading can be more emotionally demanding for some traders, especially without traditional tools like stop loss.
If you ever need assistance or have questions about trading modes or platform features, our support team is always ready to help.

Trading bastante directo y fácil de usar acá, sin pasar horas en el registro y entendiendo las funciones de la plataforma. Y no era solo una linda fachada. Por dentro, todo funcionaba sin problemas como debe ser.
Ni siquiera necesité contactar al soporte. Para ser sincero, no me metí en situaciones complicadas. Me pregunto qué tal sería su sistema de tickets en caso de emergencia. La velocidad de respuesta es dudosa.
Estimado usuario Sebastian Z.,

Trading terms can be up for debate, and I'm not really interested in getting into what's good or what's not. Everyone makes their own choices. But think the discussion about their custom trading app is over. This is one of the dopest trading apps i have been trading with

Operé varias veces, la calidad de ejecución estuvo bien y no vi freezes haciendo quick trades, en general bueno para nivel principiante porque ayuda a entender cómo el proceso de trading puede ser intenso y abrumador a veces.
Estimada usuaria Jorge T,,
Es un placer saber que nuestra plataforma te brindó un comienzo fluido en su trayectoria de trading. Ponemos mucho esfuerzo en garantizar una alta calidad de ejecución y un entorno estable, así que saber que no experimentaste freezes durante los quick trades es fantástico.
El trading sin duda puede sentirse intenso y abrumador al principio, pero nos alegra que hayas encontrado la interfaz útil para navegar esos momentos de alta intensidad. Nuestro objetivo es hacer que el proceso de aprendizaje sea lo más intuitivo posible para todos. Si tienes alguna pregunta, no dudes en contactarnos.

Made a withdrawal with BTC - all things went ok, my wallet showed money within 3 hours already,,, no hidden fees from the broker.
Pocket Option is my main broker for trading, not only qt, but also CFDs
Dear Joaquin S.,
Great to see this kind of positive feedback!
We are thrilled to hear that your BTC withdrawal went smoothly and landed in your wallet without a hitch! A quick and clear transfer process is so important, and we always aim to handle payments as swiftly as we can. It’s great to know everything went just as you expected.

السبب اللي خلاني أبدأ التداول مع pocket option كان اليوتيوب. شفت كذا فيديو وبث مباشر، متداولين حققوا أرباح حلوة من التداول بوضع التداول السريع. الوضع نفسه ممتع كتير ونادر مقارنة بالوسطاء التانيين، ولهيك كنت متحمس أجربه. بس طلع صعب كتير، خصوصاً للمبتدئين… خسرت أول إيداعَين عندي بسرعة، الأغلبية لأني كنت أبالغ بعدد الصفقات وما كنت ملتزم بإدارة المخاطر. يعني، الموضوع بده وقت ومجهود حتى تحقق ولو شوية أرباح. أنصح ببرنامج التعليم اللي عند pocket option بخصوص هالموضوع، فيه شرح لأكثر من 40 استراتيجية موجّهة للتداول السريع. بعضها قوي فعلاً، بس الاستراتيجية لحالها ما راح تعمل معجزات. إدارة المخاطر والانضباط أهم بكتير… في النهاية، قدرت أضاعف حجم حسابي وأسحب أرباحي بكل سهولة. ما بيترددوا ولا بيأخروا المدفوعات.
عزيزي Khalid X،
شكراً لك على مشاركة تجربتك التفصيلية حول رحلتك!
نقدّر كثيراً تنويهك إلى أن التداول ليس بالبساطة التي قد يبدو عليها للوهلة الأولى! كثير من المتداولين يدخلون بآمال كبيرة، ولكن كما أشرت بالفعل، فإن تحقيق الاستمرارية يعتمد فعلياً على تطوير إدارة قوية للمخاطر والانضباط مع مرور الوقت. من الرائع أن نراك أخذت الوقت لتأمل تجاربك الأولى وتعديل استراتيجيتك، وهي خطوة بالغة الأهمية للنجاح على المدى الطويل.
ويسعدنا أيضاً أن نسمع أنك تمكنت - بعد اكتساب بعض الخبرة - من تنمية حسابك وسحب أرباحك بسلاسة. ضمان عملية سحب خالية من المتاعب هو أمر نسعى إليه دائماً!
إذا احتجت إلى مزيد من المساعدة أو كان لديك أي استفسار في المستقبل، فإن فريق الدعم لدينا متواجد دائماً لخدمتك!
أطيب التحيات،
فريق Pocket Option
I did some trading in the qt mode, at first it felt kinda fun but soon I realized it's hard and I needed more expereince. I shifted to doing trades standard way. Focused on swing trading energies. The platform is comfotable for that, as I've tested. And after consistent gains, I used skrill for withdrawals, worked quickly
Dear Xavier D.,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad to hear that you are satisfied with the speed of your withdrawals and that Skrill worked smoothly for you. It’s also great to see how you adapted your approach and found a trading style that better suits you.
Providing a comfortable platform and reliable payment processing is very important to us, and your feedback is truly appreciated.
If you have any questions or recommendations, our support team is ready to help.

The main advantage for me is that i can trade forex as cfd and in quick trading from one place. It works for me since i like to trade every day and we all know that if you trade it in classic forex mode you need to wait for setup sometime more than a day. Here comes handy the quick trading mode. This is how i use it.
However, while trading i NOTICED that the costs in forex mode are really good compared to other brokers. Spreads are almost raw, plus no commissions…
Dear Ignacio I.,
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable opinion.
We’re glad to know that quick trading provided you with daily trading setups. Its straightforward mechanism gives traders more opportunities, especially in highly liquid, less volatile markets such as Forex. In terms of spreads and profitability rates, we tried to keep them competitive, to ensure cost-effective execution even for very short-term trading strategies.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact our support team.

A trading pal of mine asked what broker I use, I said Pocket Option, and idk, but out of the blue he asked: "what are common complaints about pocket option?"... I am like: bruuh, trading here for 2 yrs already, no major complaints... had to explain to him benefits of high % payouts at QT, My Safe earning possibility and other things like social trading, gems and etc...
Anyway, made recently crypto withdrawal - got my 200 bucks I made yy from QT trading
Dear Rodrigo A.,
Thank you for sharing this story, it actually reflects a very common situation between traders.
It’s natural for people to ask about complaints first, especially in trading, where trust is everything. We’re glad to hear that after two years of using Pocket Option, you haven’t encountered any major issues and could confidently share your own experience.
You highlighted some important aspects: high payout rates in Quick Trading, additional features like social trading and gems, and overall earning potential when used properly. These are indeed parts of the platform many traders find valuable.
It’s also great to hear that your recent crypto withdrawal went smoothly and you received your $200 without issues. Real experiences like this often speak louder than any discussion.
We appreciate your continued trust and wish you more successful trades ahead.
Best regards,
Pocket Option Team
I was kinda disappointed when I opened the platform for the first time. Everything was so unfamiliar, but then I found out that Pocket Option offers MT5 and MT4 terminals too. The process of switching between platforms happens within seconds, no need to relog again and again every time. That's actually quite convenient.
So yeah, I've been trading on MT4 there. FX CFD majors are my fav instruments. Spreads are pretty standard, but they could have been lower in my opinion.
Dear Walid A.,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We understand that the first impression can feel unfamiliar, especially when switching from more traditional setups. It’s great to hear that discovering the MT4/MT5 integration made the transition smoother for you. The ability to switch between platforms quickly without repeated logins is something we designed exactly for convenience.
It’s also good to know you’re actively trading FX majors and that conditions meet your expectations overall. Your feedback regarding spreads is noted. We continuously review trading conditions to stay competitive.
We appreciate your honest input and wish you continued success in your trading.
Best regards,
Pocket Option Team
Its usually the most frustrating thing because you can be on a legit winstreak and everthing can be going great. But then you might decide just to up the risk a bit and then everything turns to shambles. More risk means more emotions and then it can be a way down,. Thats why when trading with quick trading you need to set yourself a limit of risk and follow that all the time.
Dear Omar E.,
Thank you for sharing your perspective. The psychological discipline is indeed required to manage risk effectively.
A great winning streak can indeed tempt anyone to increase their stakes, but, as you mentioned, that extra risk can bring emotions that can cloud judgment. Setting a firm limit and sticking to it is the best way to stay grounded.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with us anytime.
Best regards,
Pocket Option Team
It feels pretty good here. Nothing major hap[pened yet. QT was something new, there were no commissions.
Had to take some time to adapt to this mode. Eventually, I'd say it's easier than CFD trading, but % of payouts on many assets are kinda low.
Dear Daniela Y.,
We appreciate your feedback about our Quick Trading mode.
Like any other trading mode, it has advantages and disadvantages. Compared to traditional CFD trading, which features spreads and leverage that can be complicated for beginners, QT mode offers a more user-friendly experience. While we don’t charge any commissions in this mode, there are still profitability rates that vary depending on market conditions and the trading characteristics of a particular asset.
We don’t limit our traders to a single trading mode; we offer CFD trading on the well-known MetaTrader platform. Regardless of your choice, we’re always here to support you.
Best regards,
Pocket Option Team
The 2 MAIN features are not aavailable on it - the copytrading from people who are on top of the list on the platform, and AI trading. Had to join and deposit to try it!
Basically, AI trading, is me pressing a button. I press, and order is placed. IDK how AI decides to go buy or sell, but its pretty good! So far it trades better than the peopple I tried copying from xD
Dear Omar A.,
We're glad you're finding our AI features effective! We keep Copy Trading and the AI bot on live accounts to ensure real-time performance and community accuracy, so it’s great to see that transition worked out for you.
That ""one button"" is actually backed by a complex algorithm that considers RSI, MACD, EMAs, parabolic SAR, and many other metrics. We're thrilled it's beating out the top traders on your list so far!
Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the trades.
Best regards,
Pocket Option Team
Apparently they are turning 9 years old or smth? All I know is that there's Pocket Option's 9th Anniversary Celebration that appeared on their website. Apparently $1mil in prizes YOOO less gooo!
Even if its just 1% of the prizes that I can get, I would be happy!
