Turbo Trading

What is Turbo Trading?

Turbo is an ultra-fast trading mode designed for traders who thrive on quick decisions and rapid results. With duration times ranging from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, Turbo trading allows you to capitalize on micro-movements in the market and execute multiple trades within a short time frame.

How Turbo Differs from High/Low: Unlike High/Low options where you select a specific expiry time in the future (e.g., end of hour or end of day), Turbo works on a duration-based model. When you place a Turbo trade, the expiry time is calculated as current time + duration period. This means you can enter a trade at any moment, and it will expire after the selected duration has passed.

Example: If you select a 60-second duration and place your trade at 14:23:45, your trade will expire at 14:24:45 - exactly 60 seconds from your entry time.

Duration-Based Trading Model

Turbo trading uses a duration-based approach, which is fundamentally different from High/Low trading:

How Duration Works

When you place a Turbo trade:

1. You select your duration (10s, 15s, 30s, 60s, 2m, or 5m)
2. Entry time is recorded at the moment you confirm the trade
3. Expiry time = Entry time + Duration
4. The trade settles automatically at expiry

Example Scenarios:

• Enter at 14:23:17 with 60s duration → Expires at 14:24:17
• Enter at 09:45:00 with 2m duration → Expires at 09:47:00
• Enter at 11:30:55 with 10s duration → Expires at 11:31:05

How Turbo Trading Works

Step 1: Access Turbo Mode

Navigate to the trading platform and select "Turbo" from the trading mode dropdown. The interface will switch to show ultra-short expiry times optimized for quick trading.

Step 2: Select Your Asset

Choose from a variety of assets including:

• Currency Pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.
• Commodities: Gold, Silver, Oil
• Indices: S&P 500, NASDAQ, FTSE 100
• Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum (if available)

Step 3: Choose Duration Time

Select your preferred duration time. Your trade will expire at entry time + duration:

• 10 Seconds: Ultra-fast option for synthetic assets with high volatility
• 15 Seconds: Designed for high volatile assets, extremely fast-paced trading
• 30 Seconds: Fast option for extreme short-term traders
• 60 Seconds: Most popular Turbo option, balances speed with analysis time
• 2 Minutes: Allows for slightly more market movement
• 5 Minutes: Longest Turbo option, still considered very short-term

Step 4: Make Your Prediction

Analyze the current price and predict the direction:

• HIGHER (Call): Click if you believe the price will be higher at expiry than the current entry price
• LOWER (Put): Click if you believe the price will be lower at expiry than the current entry price

Step 5: Set Investment Amount

Enter your desired investment amount. The platform will automatically display:

• Your potential profit (usually 70-85% return)
• Total payout if successful
• Current payout percentage

Step 6: Execute Trade

Click "Buy" or "Confirm" to execute your trade. Once confirmed:

• Your trade is immediately active at the current market time
• Expiry time is automatically calculated as current time + selected duration
• A countdown timer shows remaining time until expiry
• Real-time chart displays current price movement
• Entry price is locked and marked on the chart

Step 7: Wait for Expiry

Monitor your trade as it progresses:

• Watch the countdown timer
• Observe price movements in real-time
• Track if you're currently "In the Money" (winning) or "Out of the Money" (losing)
• No action needed - trades auto-close at expiry

Step 8: Settlement

At expiry, the trade is automatically settled:

• Win: If your prediction is correct, profit is credited to your account instantly
• Loss: If incorrect, you lose the invested amount
• Tie: In rare cases where price equals entry price, investment is typically refunded

2. Breakout Strategy

Best for: 2-minute and 5-minute Turbo trades

How it works:

• Identify support/resistance levels
• Wait for price to break through these levels
• Enter trade in direction of breakout
• Confirm with increased volume

3. News Trading

Best for: 30-second and 60-second Turbo trades

How it works:

• Monitor economic calendar for high-impact news
• Wait for news release
• Enter trade based on initial market reaction
• Be prepared for high volatility

4. Reversal Trading

Best for: 60-second and 2-minute Turbo trades

• Identify overbought/oversold conditions
• Look for reversal signals (candlestick patterns)
• Enter trade against the current movement
• Use RSI or Stochastic indicators for confirmation

Technical Indicators for Turbo Trading

Moving Averages

Use short-period MAs (5, 10, 20) to identify immediate trends:

• Price above MA = uptrend, consider HIGHER trades
• Price below MA = downtrend, consider LOWER trades
• MA crossovers signal potential reversals

RSI (Relative Strength Index)

Identify overbought/oversold conditions:

• RSI above 70 = overbought, potential LOWER trade
• RSI below 30 = oversold, potential HIGHER trade
• Best used with 5 or 10-period setting for Turbo

Bollinger Bands

Measure volatility and potential reversals:

• Price touching upper band = potential LOWER trade
• Price touching lower band = potential HIGHER trade
• Squeeze (narrow bands) signals breakout coming

MACD

Identify momentum and trend changes:

• MACD crossing above signal = HIGHER trade
• MACD crossing below signal = LOWER trade
• Use with short settings (5, 10, 15) for Turbo

Risk Management in Turbo Trading

Position Sizing

• Never risk more than 1-2% per trade: If you have $1,000, risk only $10-20 per Turbo trade
• Use consistent amounts: Don't vary trade sizes based on previous wins/losses
• Account for frequency: With multiple trades per hour, losses can accumulate quickly

Daily Loss Limits

• Set a maximum daily loss amount (e.g., 5% of account)
• Stop trading when limit is reached
• Resume the next trading day with clear mindset
• Track win rate and adjust strategy if below 55%

Win Goals

• Set realistic daily profit targets (e.g., 3-5%)
• Consider stopping after reaching goal to lock in profits
• Don't let greed lead to overtrading
• Review successful strategies and repeat them

Emotional Control

• Avoid revenge trading: Don't increase trade size after losses
• Take breaks: Step away after 3 consecutive losses
• Stay disciplined: Follow your strategy even during winning streaks
• Don't chase losses: Accept losses as part of trading

Best Times to Trade Turbo

Forex Assets

• London Session Open (8:00-9:00 GMT): High volatility, many opportunities
• New York Session Open (13:00-14:00 GMT): Overlap with London creates volume
• Major News Releases: NFP, CPI, Interest Rate decisions
• Avoid: Asian session for non-Asian pairs (low volatility)

Commodities

• Gold: London and New York sessions
• Oil: U.S. trading hours, inventory reports
• Silver: Similar to gold, high volatility periods

Indices

• U.S. Indices: 14:30-21:00 GMT (U.S. market hours)
• European Indices: 8:00-16:30 GMT (European market hours)
• Asian Indices: 0:00-8:00 GMT (Asian market hours)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overtrading

Problem: Taking too many trades without proper analysis

Solution: Set a maximum number of trades per day (e.g., 10-15)

2. Ignoring Market Conditions

Problem: Trading during low volatility or ranging markets

Solution: Check volatility indicators before trading, avoid dead hours

3. Chasing Every Movement

Problem: Entering trades on every small price change

Solution: Wait for clear signals that match your strategy

4. No Trading Plan

Problem: Random trading without clear entry/exit rules

Solution: Develop and follow a written trading plan

5. Poor Money Management

Problem: Risking too much per trade or entire account

Solution: Stick to 1-2% risk per trade maximum

Admin Configuration: Duration per Asset

Administrators can configure custom duration options for each individual asset through the admin panel. This powerful feature allows brokers to tailor the trading experience based on asset characteristics, market conditions, and risk management requirements.

How to Configure Duration per Asset

In the admin back-office, navigate to the asset management section where you can customize which duration options are available for each specific asset:

Configuration Options

For each asset, administrators can enable or disable specific duration times:

• 10 Seconds: Enable for synthetic assets with controlled volatility
• 15 Seconds: Enable for high volatile assets (major cryptocurrencies, volatile forex pairs during news)
• 30 Seconds: Standard option for most assets
• 60 Seconds: Most popular duration, available for all asset types
• 2 Minutes: Standard option for medium-term Turbo trades
• 5 Minutes: Longer duration for less volatile assets or risk management

Use Cases for Custom Duration Configuration

1. Risk Management

Disable very short durations (10s, 15s) for highly volatile assets during news events to reduce extreme risk exposure.

2. Market Conditions

Enable shorter durations for synthetic assets that have 24/7 availability and controlled volatility patterns.

3. Asset Characteristics

• Cryptocurrencies: Enable 15s, 30s, 60s for major pairs like BTC/USD, ETH/USD
• Forex Majors: Enable 30s, 60s, 2m for EUR/USD, GBP/USD during active sessions
• Synthetics: Enable 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s for volatility indices
• Commodities: Enable 60s, 2m, 5m for gold, oil, silver
• Indices: Enable 60s, 2m, 5m for S&P 500, NASDAQ, DAX

4. Regulatory Compliance

Certain jurisdictions may require minimum duration times. Administrators can disable shorter durations for specific regions or account types.

5. Client Segmentation

Different account types (demo, standard, VIP) can have different duration options available based on experience level and risk tolerance.

Benefits of Duration per Asset Configuration

• Flexibility: Tailor trading experience to each asset's unique characteristics
• Risk Control: Limit exposure on highly volatile instruments
• Better UX: Show only relevant duration options for each asset
• Compliance: Meet regulatory requirements per region or asset class
• Strategic Positioning: Differentiate offering by providing optimal durations per asset
