Couldn't close trades when in profit

I stopped trading with them about 7 years ago because Everytime I was in profit and tried to close the trade a pop-up box would say something like "action not possible" by the time I could close I was No longer in profit. They claimed the issue was a "unique" problem with my platform/computer. I did file a complaint with the CFTC which resulted in absolutely Nothing. Back then I lost about $3,500. They "Flag" negative Truthful reviews so they will be removed.

Hi Tiffany,

We are sorry to hear about your experience 7 years ago. As an exchange, Nadex matches buyers and sellers and never participates in any trading activity.

A lot has changed at Nadex in the last 7 years. We've upgraded our technology, we have a new platform with 99.99% uptime, many new platform features, new products, new markets to trade, and much much more.

Feel free to come back and test drive the new Nadex. We can reactivate your demo account at any time. Reach out to customerservice@nadex.com and we'd be happy to help you.

Sincerely,

The Nadex Team

Cons

It’s look great, accessible and is CFTC certified but I got charged twice for my first deposit and I am still waiting for my demo account to be opened. I’m a bit frustrated because I expected better after coming from Pocket Option and Quotex.io. I’m not giving up but it just seems to be more of the same.

Edit: they refunded my second charge and opened my demo account. I wouldn’t recommend binary options as a legitimate investment strategy but if it works for you, it works.

I have had experience with 6-7 other platforms and could never understand how they get away with being so bad with customer service. As soon as I signed up for Nadex, a customer service rep call me without me reporting a problem just to see how things are going. Then I did have an account issue and Sophie was incredible and got things fixed super fast.

Nice platform but the risk for small accounts is hard to get past. Options are only at 100$ per contact which can be quite a bit risky for a 1000$ < account

Reply from Nadex

Thanks for the compliment on the platform. To clarify, you do not have to enter a position and risk $100 per contract/trade. You can purchase a binary option anywhere between $.25 and $99.75 - you will need to find a risk tolerance and time frame that suits your needs but there are generally hundreds of opportunities each day, if not more. Also, check out the Nadex Knock-out contracts! You should definitely be able to find opportunities that fit your risk tolerance levels. If you'd like someone to reach out to you directly, please email customerservice@nadex.com and highlight the review you left on Trustpilot. We will have some call you to assist further. Thank you!

Love the option selection layout and types, but I struggle with predicting these asset price movements

I was new to options when I opened the account. Since I started I got a lot more addicted to watching all the futures markets trading and trading options. I probably trade around 2 to 40 trades per day. I have had an account for a year and a half. I have lost a lot and experienced a lot of emotional pain throughout the year. More recently I think I am getting a little better at understanding trading and trading options since I am not blowing up my account as frequently. I found trading to be a lot harder than what I previously thought it would be. I love the exchange, the layout, all the different opportunities to be able to make money, and with a demo account, your learning center, all your trading teachers who come across very caring, the macro setup. Also, it is nice that I don't have to worry about the PTD rule. Cons, the range between the bid and offer sometimes on binary options sometimes can have a difference of like $20, the call spreads like the US TECH 100 and the 225JPY can be kind of tough when the spread can be as much as a $25 difference. Sometimes the option position can go against you fast and it is hard to get out of.
The experience trading options definitely increases my emotions and can make me feel very easily frustrated or euphoric. I have learned a lot more about trading such as volatility and market weather, better probabilities of when to place the trade, characteristics of price action of an asset, and changes of price action over time.

So far I still struggle to become consistently profitable. I find it hard to predict. I think I have a fear of losing where I often will sell a gain too early and letting a loser go to worthless. I also can get too excited and place too many positions to the point that my brain can't handle it if I am a bit in the red. I also think a lot of these futures type assets can move in a manipulative way. Also have found myself trading on past memories of past patterns like the US500 may have moved 20 points of an average true range yesterday between 3:40 to 4:00pm and then today I place two OTM binary options (straddle play) 10 points away from the indicative and the US500 only moves 10 points of an average range and by the time I can recognize that I might not have a chance of getting win I am already down over 50% on the straddle. These movements can destroy my beliefs on what I would think a more likely outcome would happen does not happen like the US indices a Nasdaq going from around 9800 points before the Coronavirus drop to 6600 to a year and a half later 15700 points and I kept wanting to short the indices and many times did I never get a chance for a gain and if I clicked on the long side I would have a hard time holding on to it. I don't think trading is made for the brain, the movements are just not rational a lot of the time. I learned a lot from Mark Douglas's videos involving psychology and how the mind works.

Hi David,

Sorry to hear you’ve had some trouble with Nadex. Your experience is important to us and we value any feedback from our members.

Nadex contracts are based on some of the largest, most liquid underlying markets in the world, and no activity on Nadex has any impact at all on the underlying market to which Nadex contracts are based and settled. However, it is important to note that if you believe there is some type of market manipulation in the underlying markets unrelated to Nadex contracts, you would be best placed to refer that activity to the relevant exchange or regulatory body associated, such as the CFTC.
