Reeled In

Just like trout fishing Opteck cast the fly and I took the bait.

I came across Opteck on the internet when I was between jobs and searching for a means of generating an income. The bait was "all you need do is invest $500" and you are on the way. Earn money in minutes with the adoption of simple easy to learn systems. This seemed like low risk stuff so I thought I would give it a try - after all worst case was I could only lose my $500, right? Wrong!

The thing is I wanted to learn more about how to do this, but to qualify to get various training aids I had to up my investment to $5,000. No problem I thought, because I wouldn't lose my money if I just let it sit there until I was satisfied that I knew what I was doing, right? Wrong again, you can only learn if you trade - this is not an issue if you keep your trades small and for a while I was able to break even but nevertheless felt I wasn't progressing. So I tried to find out more.

My next step was to phone Opteck and as a result was put onto one of their Senior Brokers who proceeded to convince me that if you ever wanted to make any real money out of binary trading you needed to make bigger trades but only after you understood how to use the tools available to read the markets. For a smart guy like me he felt that wouldn't be too hard and,being an experienced senior broker, he could help me do that. But, as he only worked with Premium investors then I would need to increase the funds in my trading account to $20,000. Naturally, being out of work at the time, I was reluctant to do this but also knew that there was no other immediate hope for earning an income. My thinking was that to get a job I had to rely on other people to choose me as their favoured candidate but with Opteck, I was in control - all I had to do was invest some more money and I would be on my way - now not later. Pressured to make a decision straight away and arrange the transfer immediately (and beguiled by the shared information that just the previous day the senior broker I was talking to had made $35,000 in less than an hour) I took the leap of faith and transferred the money.

I was then sent a video link to a recording of a recent live webinar where the senior broker I had been speaking with guided people through live trades to demonstrate the technique used. It looked easy, the guy was making money hand over fist, and within minutes. This was impressive stuff. So I thought, well if I could get involved in some live webinars then all I need do is follow the brokers trades and I would make money just as easy. Wrong again! To qualify for particpation in the live webinars you had to invest more money. This was clearly getting out of hand so I thought, ok I'll do this but only on the basis that as soon as the webinar was finished I would withdraw the money I had just deposited and leave the profits in the account. Easier said than done - you need the approval of your Broker to effect the withdrawal and to do that you have to get his attention. So instead of what I thought would be a few minutes on an online transaction, it took weeks to get the funds trasnferred to my account - but eventually I did get the money back.

On my first webinar all went according to plan and I made about $2,000 in a half hour. Wow! I thought I was on my way to super wealth - my plan had worked, all I had to do was continue the pattern with the webinars. Do small cautious trades on my own to continue learning but take advantage of the experience of the senior brokers and place large trades during the live webinars. Sadly this wasn't the case. These guys are always in a hurry as any any time conducting webinars is time away from their own trading. So you have to keep uo with the pace of their trades, which isn't easy for a novice. You get to follow some of their trades but not all. They tend to be successful on average across the totality of their trades but if you are only able to pick up on some of them and as luck would have it the ones you pick up on are their less successful trades, then you lose. After two such webinar sessions I learnt this lesson well and lost $12,000 as result - all up it took me no longer than an hour and a half to lose this money - very hard to take when you know what else you could have done with the money.

I decided that obvioulsy I didn't have the aptitude for this and so thought I would take some time out to decide whether I should just cut my losses and withdraw the remaining funds. After about a week I called my Senior Broker and advised I wanted to withdraw my money and was told it would be understandable if that was what I wanted to do but if I really wanted to make my money back I should persevere - everyone has bad days - so take more time to think about it. So I did. Next day I got a call from another Opteck broker who announced it was his role to help me recover my money back and dic I have time to do some trading with him right now. All I needed to do was just follow his advice.Well who wouldn't accept an offer like that, particularly when it is said with such certainty. I gave him online access to my trading platform , he set up a series of trades for me at a $1,000 per trade and got me to hit the accept button. He told me I would now be on my way to recovering my funds once the trades were completed then said his goodbyes. I never heard from him again and within a half hour found that 100% of his trades had failed - my investment had now been reduced to $1,200. Clearly that was the sort of help I could have done without.

After recovering from the devastation I decide I would never follow the trades of others again. For a period afterwards I did one trade per day investing no more than 5% of my balance on each trade - slowly I inched ahead but then a spurt of unsuccessful trades put me right back where I had started. Approximately 6 months has now passed and Haven't had the stomach to do any more trades.

This was my experience with Opteck. I feel I was baited and then professionally fleeced. I recommend to anyone who will listen that you keep away from binary options trading unless you have a background in FOREX trading and are confident in the use of the tools that you will need to understand the science of this business. Certainly you will get no real help from Opteck, I am certain that they are only interested in filtering out those of us that have a talent for such trading. How many people fail along the way and lose their investment is of no concern to them. Whatever they can encourage you to put into your trading account, whether you win or lose, it all adds to the amount of money they are turning over.

Trust

So far i have been on several platforms, and i have lost a lot of money. I once came on this platform and although i will admit at first i was being nagged to come in with $2500, i just couldn't afford to, so i came in with $700. My account manager still taught me something though warning me he really would have preferred if i had more capital, i tried what he taught me, it was the very first time i felt that my best interest was actually at heart and not that of a platform. Now i will be honest, the day i started trading on my own, my account manager had just gone home and i don't think he realised that my demo account had expired, so i took it upon myself to use my real account and i won a whole lot but never actually trading before i made a lot of silly errors and my emotions spun out of control, for i was looking to this as a monthly income as where i worked was laying people off. So i lost most of my capital but here's where it gets good, because of my errors, i had more experience, i used what i learnt from opteck and made money even on my other platforms, i was ecstatic, i can't describe the feeling, my account managers on the other platforms were astonished. I have been advising others since that time to join Opteck, though well my country is kinda 3rd world and many people just look at the internet as scams, I am getting more capital soon and coming back to opteck, they are also the only platform which allows you to actually choose the number of minutes as opposed to just choosing a time, like 3:00 or 3:30, Opteck just seems very transparent. One thing though, i have never actually withdrawn any money from Opteck, so i won't go on record saying they give very timely withdrawls or anything like that, actually this is why some family members haven't joined, they tell me, Cyprus is a million miles away and you have never received money from them, this is too risky, so once i am back on board, my first order of business is to make a withdrawl so i can tell others how fast the funds come to me, then i can be an Opteck fan 100%.

Sincerely,
Garvin Raveneau

Promotions and Special Offers with Opteck

I have opened an account with this broker about 5 months ago and I am enjoying every minute of it. But what I like the most about this broker is the special offers and promotions it has on a weekly basis.

Since I started trading with Opteck, I have already made a significant amount of profit and also won a brand new Apple iPad, just for trading on their platform.

I must say that I have never won any prizes before, so I am quite excited about this one. I really hope that I will be able to win some more as I continue my trading experience with Opteck.

Opteck Platform Responsiveness-Trade Execution Time

I recently opened an account with this broker and I must say that I am not too pleased with their trading platform. I like to trade quick options, but there is a delay from the moment I place the trade until the actual expiration time clock starts kicking in. I have no idea why this happens and I have contacted their customer support team a couple of times to try and resolve this matter.

I expect immediate response from their trading platform or from any other trading platform I will try in the future. Maybe I should open 1 or 2 more accounts with other brokers and see if the problem persists. Anyways, I am waiting for a reply from their support representative to find out what might be causing this. I will update again when a proper reply will arrive.

Mobile app. features & functionality

I am usually a very busy person and have very little time during the day while I am at work. Since I am a teacher, I have a couple of breaks in between classes and I tend to use my android device to trade online with Opteck.

Their mobile app. is almost identical to their web-based trading platform, allowing me to take advantage of all the features with the tip of my fingers. I have been using it for the past 3 months now and so far, haven’t experienced any software glitches or other malfunctions.

My husband also uses it during evening shifts when he works at the factory. I really like the full feature functionality of it and looking forward for Opteck to release their latest update. Oh, and I am able to make some money out of it, too :)

Registration & Deposit Procedure at Opteck

I have traded with numerous brokers throughout the years and most of them used more or less the exact same registration & deposit procedure.

You fill in your personal details, select how much money you would like to invest and you can start trading almost instantly, depends on the method you choose for deposit.

It’s actually quite boring. The entire process take anywhere between 2-3 minutes and there is no interaction what so ever between you and the broker.

On the contrary, when I decided to register with Opteck, I had the opportunity to go through this procedure with my personal account manager, who guided me step-by-step and took the time to explain to me about each and every stage along the way.

This is exactly the kind of “personal touch” I am expecting from my broker. I wish this was the standard with all brokers.
