For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying to put together a binary options strategy with precise signals for myself, but so far its accuracy depends heavily on the market. When the price moves calmly, everything looks fine: I wait for the trend direction to align and for confirmation on the next candle. But when a sharp impulse begins, the indicators seem to lag, and the entry ends up being too late.
I’m testing this on a demo account, setting the chart timeframe to 1 minute and using a 3–5 minute trade duration. I tried adding support and resistance levels, which made things a little clearer, but there are very few signals. I can’t decide whether it’s better to leave one filter or use two so I don’t miss valid entries. Has anyone actually tested a similar approach on historical data? Which signs do you consider essential to avoid entering a trade on the very first signal?
