I’ve been trying to understand one-minute binary options strategies for a couple of weeks, and I still can’t figure out where a sound approach ends and ordinary randomness begins. I mainly look at a five-minute chart and enter a one-minute trade after a sharp move and a return to a level. Sometimes the entry looks logical, but the price immediately moves back, even though everything seems to be confirmed on the higher timeframe chart.
I also tried adding RSI, but the indicator only made things more confusing: there are plenty of signals, but they don’t always produce better results. Now I’m thinking of keeping just one level and waiting for a clear candlestick, without a bunch of filters. Has anyone had real experience with such short-term trades? What do you consider most important—the trend direction, the entry timing, or specifically the price behavior around the level? Maybe I expect too much from a one-minute expiry and am wasting my time trying to find one universal strategy.
