60-Second Strategy
Turbo options with 60-second expiry — the most aggressive trading style. High risk, but potential for quick profits. Let's break down how to trade it properly.
⚠️ Warning: The 60-second strategy is high-risk trading. Most traders lose money on turbo options. Start only after mastering basic strategies and strictly follow risk management rules.
What is the 60-Second Strategy
The 60-second strategy is trading binary options with minimum expiry time. You open a trade and get the result in 60 seconds: either 70-90% profit or loss of your stake.

Pros and Cons
✓ Many Opportunities
Can make dozens of trades per trading session.
✓ Simple Rules
No deep analysis needed — we work on impulses.
✗ High Risk
Market noise on small timeframes. Many false signals.
✗ Emotional Pressure
Fast pace provokes impulsive decisions.
✗ Lower Payouts
Turbo options usually have lower payouts than longer expiries.
Indicator Setup
For the 60-second strategy, we use a combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands:
| Indicator | Settings | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| RSI | Period: 14, levels: 30/70 | Identifying overbought/oversold conditions |
| Bollinger Bands | Period: 20, deviation: 2 | Identifying channel boundaries |
| Timeframe | M1 (1 minute) | Main chart for analysis |
Entry Rules
CALL Signal (up)
- RSI below 30 (oversold)
- Price touches or breaks lower Bollinger band
- Candle closes with long lower wick (reversal sign)
- Open CALL with 60-second expiry
PUT Signal (down)
- RSI above 70 (overbought)
- Price touches or breaks upper Bollinger band
- Candle closes with long upper wick (reversal sign)
- Open PUT with 60-second expiry
Don't enter a trade if all conditions aren't met. Better to skip a signal than enter a questionable trade.
Risk Management for 60 Seconds
Stake Size
No more than 1-2% of deposit per trade. With $100 deposit — stake $1-2.
Loss Limit
Maximum 5 losing trades in a row — stop for today. Don't chase losses!
Profit Target
Made 10-15% of deposit per session — stop. Greed kills.
No Martingale
Don't double stake after loss. That's the path to account wipeout. Learn more
