Stockity Guide for Beginners: Understanding Fixed-Time Trading and Your First Steps
If you’re brand new to Stockity, this independent guide helps you understand how it works before you make any decision. The most important thing to grasp from the start: fixed-time trading (binary options) is very high risk, and industry data shows most retail users actually lose money. This guide is not the official Stockity website and is not financial advice.
What Is Fixed-Time Trading
In fixed-time trading, you predict whether the price of an asset (for example a currency pair, a stock, or a commodity) will go up or down within a set period of time, such as one minute or five minutes. If your prediction is correct when the time is up, you earn a fixed payout; if it’s wrong, you lose the amount you staked. Because the outcome is binary (right or wrong) and the time is fixed, the instrument is often called a binary option.
It must be stressed that binary options are not recognized as legitimate futures trading in Indonesia. Stockity’s operator, Verte Securities Limited (Vanuatu, reg. 700726), holds an offshore license from the VFSC, which is not a tier-1 regulator, is not registered with Bappebti, and is not supervised by OJK. Understand this on the regulation page.
Start with a Demo Account
The safest way to learn is through a demo account with a virtual balance, without risking real money. Use the demo to get familiar with the interface, the asset types (around 140+ assets are available), and the mechanics of opening a position. See demo account to get started. Spend enough time here until you fully understand how it works.
First Steps
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Register | Create an account through the register page |
| 2. Try the demo | Practice with a virtual balance |
| 3. Study the assets | Get to know the assets and time frames |
| 4. Understand the costs | Check the details on the fees page |
| 5. Assess the risk | Decide whether to continue |
The minimum deposit for a real account is USD 10, but don’t rush to fund it before you are truly ready. Details of payout percentages and fees: TODO: verify.
Realistic Expectations
Many beginners are tempted by promises of quick profit, but the reality is different. A fixed payout of less than 100% means that, mathematically, you need to win more often than just half the time simply to break even. Emotion, hasty decisions, and increasing your stake after a loss are common causes of large losses. Treat this activity as high risk, not as a guaranteed source of income.
Common problems & fixes
- Problem: Depositing immediately without practicing. Fix: Use the demo account first until you understand it; only then consider a small amount if you still want to continue.
- Problem: Confused about which asset to choose. Fix: Focus on one or two assets you understand rather than jumping around.
- Problem: Losing and then wanting “revenge”. Fix: Take a break. Increasing your stake after a loss is the most destructive pattern.
- Problem: Not understanding fees and withdrawals. Fix: Study deposit and withdrawal before putting in money.
- Problem: Influenced by “signals” or paid groups. Fix: Be wary of promises of guaranteed profit; no one can guarantee results.
In short, start slowly, prioritize understanding, and never use money you aren’t prepared to lose. Also read the risk management guide before going any further.
