The percentage next to the asset determines its profitability. The higher the percentage – the higher your profit in case of success.

Example. If a $10 trade with a profitability of 80% closes with a positive outcome, $18 will be credited to your balance. $10 is your investment, and $8 is a profit.

Strike price settings
Strike price allows you to place a trade at a price that is higher or lower than the current market price with the respective change in the payout percentage. This option can be enabled at the trading panel before making a trade.

Risk and potential payout rates depend on how much the difference is between the market price and the strike price. This way, you not only predict the price movement but also indicate the price level that should be reached.

To enable or disable the strike price, use the corresponding switch in the lower trading panel above the market price.
 

Attention: When the strike price is enabled your trading orders will be placed above or below the current market place due to the nature of this feature. Please do not be confused with the regular trade orders which are always placed at the market prices.

Attention: Strike prices are only available for Digital Trading.

You receive a profit — the overall payout containing the originally invested amount as well as the trade profit which depends on the established parameters of the asset at the time of the order placement.

In the event of a correct forecast
The originally invested amount at the time of the order placement remains withheld from the trading account balance.

Trading


Differences between Digital and Quick Trading

Digital Trading is the conventional type of trade order. Trader indicates one of the fixed timeframes for "time until purchase" (M1, M5, M30, H1, etc.) and places a trade within this timeframe. There is a half-minute "corridor" on the chart consisting of two vertical lines — "time until purchase" (depending on the specified timeframe) and "time until expiration" ("time until purchase" + 30 seconds).

Thus, digital trading is always conducted with a fixed order closing time, which is exactly at the beginning of each minute.
How to start Pocket Option Trading in 2021: A Step-By-Step Guide for Beginners
Quick trading, on the other hand, makes it possible to set exact expiration time and allows you to utilize short timeframes, starting from 30 seconds before expiration.

When placing a trade order in quick trading mode, you will see only one vertical line on the chart — "expiration time" of the trade order, which directly depends on the specified timeframe in the trading panel. In other words, it is a simpler and faster trading mode.
How to start Pocket Option Trading in 2021: A Step-By-Step Guide for Beginners

Switching between Digital and Quick Trading

You can always switch between these types of trading by clicking on the "Trading" button on the left control panel, or by clicking on the flag or clock symbol underneath the timeframe menu on the trading panel.

Withdrawal


Withdrawal processing currency, time and applicable fees

Trading accounts on our platform are currently available only in USD. However, you can withdraw funds to your account in any currency, depending on the payment method. Most likely the funds will be converted to your account’s currency instantly upon receiving payment. We do not charge any withdrawal or currency conversion fees. However, the payment system that you use may apply certain fees. Withdrawal requests are processed within 1-3 business days. However, in some cases, the withdrawal time can be increased up to 14 business days and you will be notified about it at the support desk.


Cancelling a withdrawal request

You can cancel a withdrawal request before the status is changed to “Complete”. To do so, open the Finance History page and switch to the “Withdrawals” view.

Changing the payment account details

If there is a situation when you can no longer receive funds to the previously used payment account details, feel free to contact the Support desk in order to approve new withdrawal credentials.

Withdrawal troubleshooting

If you have made a mistake or entered incorrect information, you can cancel the withdrawal request and place a new one afterward. See the Cancelling a withdrawal request section.

In accordance with the AML and KYC policies, withdrawals are available only to fully verified customers. If your withdrawal was cancelled by a Manager, there will be a new support request where you will be able to find the reason for the cancellation.

In certain situations when the payment can not be sent to the chosen payment, a financial specialist will request an alternative withdrawal method via the support desk.

If you did not receive a payment to the specified account within a few business days, contact the Support desk to clarify the status of your transfer.
