Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 18 July 2026

In short: fixed-time trading can cost you your entire stake on a single trade, and most people who trade it lose money over time. Please read this in full before opening an account with any platform we cover.

Fixed-time trading is high risk

Fixed-time contracts (sometimes called binary options or digital options) let you predict whether an asset's price will be higher or lower than its current level by a set expiry time. If your prediction is wrong, you typically lose the entire amount you staked on that trade — not a percentage of it. There's no partial loss cushion like you might get with a stop-loss on a regular trade. This structure makes fixed-time trading substantially riskier than most people expect the first time they try it.

Most retail traders lose money

This isn't specific to any platform Tradvexa covers — it's a pattern seen across leveraged and short-term derivative products generally. When European regulators required brokers offering similar products (CFDs, binary options) to publish loss statistics, the disclosed figures typically showed that somewhere around 70–90% of retail client accounts lost money over the disclosure period. We mention this so you go in with realistic expectations, not because any single platform is worse or better than another on this point. Treat any trading activity, including fixed-time contracts, as an activity where losing your full stake is a normal, expected outcome — not an edge case.

Nothing here is financial advice

Tradvexa publishes independent comparisons and explainers about how fixed-time trading platforms work. Nothing on this site — including broker reviews, feature comparisons, or how-to guides — is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and none of it should be read as a recommendation to trade or to use a specific platform. We're not licensed financial advisors and we don't know your personal financial situation. If you want advice tailored to your circumstances, speak to a qualified, licensed professional.

Only risk money you can afford to lose

Never fund a trading account with money you need for rent, bills, debt repayment, or savings you can't afford to be without. If you're not sure whether an amount is "affordable to lose," treat that as a sign it probably isn't. Trading should never be treated as a reliable source of income, and it should never be funded with borrowed money.

Past performance doesn't predict future results

Any past win rate, payout example, or track record you see — on this site, on a platform's own marketing, or from an individual trader online — tells you nothing reliable about what will happen on your next trade. Markets move on new information, and short-term price direction is inherently difficult to predict consistently.

Age and legal eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to open an account with any platform we cover. It's your responsibility — not ours and not the platform's — to confirm that fixed-time trading (and the specific platform you're considering) is legal for you to use in your country or state before you sign up. Rules vary widely by jurisdiction and change over time, so check current local regulations rather than relying on anything you read here.

The platforms we link to are third parties

Stockity, Pocket Option, Binomo, Exnova, IQ Option, Deriv, and any other platform mentioned on Tradvexa are independent companies with their own terms of service, account rules, deposit/withdrawal policies, and risk disclosures. We don't control how they operate, and their terms take precedence over anything summarized on this site. Always read a platform's own terms and risk disclosure before depositing funds.
