New to fixed-time trading?

Fixed-time (binary) options are a high-risk product. Most retail traders lose money, and the format is banned or unregulated in many countries. Understand it before you risk anything.

Risk warning: Fixed-time / binary options carry a high risk of losing your capital and are unregulated or offshore-regulated in most countries. You can lose some or all of your money. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does BrokerGrove sell or run a trading platform?

No. BrokerGrove is an independent publisher. We review and compare third-party platforms and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any of them.

How does BrokerGrove make money?

Through affiliate commissions: some outbound links are tracked, and if you open an account through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our assessments — see our Affiliate Disclosure.

Are these platforms safe or regulated?

Fixed-time / binary options platforms are unregulated or offshore-regulated in most markets, and the product is banned in several countries. We state each platform's licence and the risks; we do not call any platform safe.

Is fixed-time / binary options trading a good way to make money?

For most retail traders it is not. It is a high-risk, short-term product and you can lose your entire stake on a single trade. Only ever use money you can afford to lose entirely.
