Many beginners choose 1-minute trades because they are fast and easy to understand. But fast trades can also lead to fast losses if you click randomly.

So here is a beginner-friendly 1-minute strategy that works based on trend direction and confirmation — no complicated indicators, no stress.

You can use it even with a small balance.

What You Need

• Pocket Option account

• Chart timeframe: 1 minute (M1)

• Trade time: 1 minute expiration

Step 1: Change the Chart Type

Set the chart to Candles (not line).

This helps you see price movement clearly.

Recommended settings:

• Interval: 1 Minute

• Chart Style: Candles

• Colors: Default is fine

Step 2: Add RSI Indicator

1. Click Indicators

2. Select RSI

3. Set period to 14

RSI helps you see when the price is overbought or oversold.

• Over 70 = price often starts to fall

• Under 30 = price often starts to rise

Step 3: Identify the Trend

Look at the last 20–30 candles:

• If most candles go up → The trend is UP

• If most candles go down → The trend is DOWN

⚠️ Never trade against the trend.

Trend = your advantage.

Step 4: Entry Rules (This Is the Strategy)

✅ Buy UP (Call) when:

• The trend is UP

• RSI drops near or below 30

• Then the price starts to bounce back up

This means you’re entering on a pullback with the trend.

✅ Buy DOWN (Put) when:

• The trend is DOWN

• RSI touches or goes above 70

• Then price starts turning down

This means you're catching the retracement in direction of the trend.

How to Place the Trade

• Set expiration to 1 minute

• Enter when the candle confirms direction (not in the middle of movement)

Think: Small move + Trend = Higher win rate

Risk Management (Important!)

Trade small amounts, especially at the beginning:

• Deposit $10 → trade $1

• Deposit $50 → trade $1–$2

• Deposit $100 → trade $1–$3

The goal is control, not speed.

Example Session Approach

• 5–10 trades maximum

• Stop trading after 3 wins in a row or 2 losses in a row

• No “revenge trades”

Calm trader = Profitable trader.
