How to trade

From a brand new account to your first closed trade. Read this once and the trading screen stops being confusing.

1. Create the account

  1. Go to Create account and enter your email, country and phone number.
  2. Confirm the code sent to your email (check spam if it is not there within two minutes).
  3. Sign in. Your dashboard opens with a demo balance already available.

2. Learn on the demo first

The demo account uses virtual money with real market prices. Nothing you do there can cost you a cent, and it behaves the same as the live account - same markets, same buttons, same payouts.

Use it until you can answer three questions without thinking: where do I choose direction, where do I set the stake, and how long is my trade open.

3. Verify before you plan to withdraw

Verification (KYC) is one upload: an identity document plus a selfie. It is required before any withdrawal can be paid, so do it early rather than at the moment you want your money. Full detail: verification guide.

4. Fund the live account

The minimum deposit is 5 USD. Mobile money, card and crypto are supported depending on your country - see deposits for timeframes and troubleshooting.

5. Choose a market and a direction

Market typeWhat you are predictingNotes for beginners
Rise / FallWhether price ends above or below its starting pointSimplest to read. Start here.
Even / OddWhether the last digit of the exit price is even or oddNot a trend trade - treat it as practice only.
Volatility indicesRise or fall on a synthetic index (25, 50, 75, 100)Open 24/7, including weekends. Higher number = bigger moves.
Boom / CrashSpike direction on synthetic indicesLong quiet stretches then sudden spikes. Not for beginners.
Forex & cryptoDirection on real pairs and coinsMarket hours apply to forex; crypto trades around the clock.

6. Stake, duration and payout

Sizing rule that keeps accounts alive: risk a small fixed percentage of the balance per trade - 1% to 2% is normal. Ten losing trades at 2% costs about 18% of the balance. Ten at 20% ends the account.

7. What the AI scanner is, and is not

The scanner reads live price behaviour across the markets and highlights setups it considers favourable, then you decide whether to take them - or let auto-trade act on those signals within the limits you set.

It is a tool that removes guesswork and emotion, not a prediction machine. It cannot know the future, it does not guarantee a win, and no setting turns it into a guaranteed income. Treat every signal as a probability, size the stake accordingly, and never increase stakes to recover a loss.

8. Target profit and auto-trade

Target profit is the amount you want the automated session to reach before it stops. When the target is hit, the session closes on its own.

The companion setting is a stop level - the loss at which the session quits. Set both. A session with a target and no stop is how a good day becomes a wiped balance.

9. Reading the result

When the duration ends, the trade settles automatically: wins credit stake plus payout profit, losses remove the stake. Every trade appears in your history with its entry, exit and result, which is the only honest way to judge whether your approach works.
