Fixed Time Trading from $1

What is Bitvyl?

Bitvyl is a Fixed Time Trading (FTT) platform. You choose an asset, choose a time, and decide one thing: will the price be higher or lower when the trade ends? If you press Buy, you predict the price will be higher. If you press Sell, you predict it will be lower.

This type of quick trading is widely known as binary options, because each trade has two main results. You know the amount you risk and the amount you can receive before you open the trade. Each trade closes by itself at the time you chose.

How a trade works, step by step

A Fixed Time Trading trade takes only a few clicks:

1. Pick an asset. For example, a currency pair, a cryptocurrency, gold or a stock index.
2. Set the amount. The minimum is US$ 1 per trade.
3. Set the time. A trade can last from 3 seconds to 4 hours. You can also pick an exact expiration time, at least 30 seconds ahead.
4. Check the payout. The payout is shown before you open the trade, and it is locked at the moment you open it.
5. Press Buy or Sell. Then watch the result on the chart.

A simple example

You open a Buy trade of US$ 10 on an asset with a 92% payout. The trade lasts 1 minute.

• If the price is higher than the opening price when the minute ends, you receive US$ 19.20. That is your US$ 10 back plus US$ 9.20 profit.
• If the price is lower, you lose the US$ 10.
• If the price is exactly the same, the trade is a draw and your US$ 10 is refunded.

This example shows an important fact. A winning trade pays less than the amount a losing trade costs. So you need to be right more often than you are wrong just to break even. Payouts go up to 92% on selected assets. They change by asset and during the day.

Assets and OTC trading 24/7

Bitvyl offers more than 100 assets: forex, crypto, commodities, stocks and indices. Many assets come in two versions.

• Real-market assets follow normal market hours. Real-market currency pairs are open from Sunday 21:00 UTC to Friday 21:00 UTC. Real-market crypto trades 24/7.
• OTC assets are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends. OTC quotes are generated by Bitvyl from market references. They are not traded on an exchange.

When a real market is closed, you can use the OTC version of the asset. Learn the difference in OTC vs real market hours.

Start with a free demo account

After you sign up, you start on the trading screen in demo mode. The free demo account gives you US$ 50,000 in virtual funds. This money has no real value, but the quotes and tools are the same as on a real account. You can refill the demo balance at any time from the balance menu.

Use the demo to learn the platform and test your ideas. Demo trades do not count as real results.

Crypto deposits and withdrawals

You fund your real account with cryptocurrency. The minimum deposit is US$ 15, or the network minimum if it is higher. Your deposit is credited in US dollars after the network confirms it. Bitvyl does not charge a deposit fee. Your wallet's network fee is paid by you.

You can use USDT and USDC on many networks, plus BTC, ETH, TRX, SOL, XRP, LTC and other coins. Always send only the coin and network shown on the payment page. See all the details on crypto deposits.

Withdrawals go to your own wallet, in the same coin and network you used to deposit. Before your first withdrawal, you must complete identity verification (an ID document and a selfie). Bitvyl charges no withdrawal commission, but network fees may apply.

Trade responsibly

Trading involves high risk. You can lose all the money you invest. Fixed Time Trading is fast, and fast trading can lead to fast decisions. Only trade money you can afford to lose. Set a daily limit and keep each trade small. For example, with a US$ 100 balance, risking 1–2% means US$ 1–2 per trade.

Read our guide on risk management and position sizing before you trade with real money. You must be 18 or older to use Bitvyl. In fixed-time trades, Bitvyl is the counterparty to your trades.
