The Whole Game in One Paragraph
Every Stockity trade is the same decision: will this asset's price be higher or lower than it is now when the timer expires? Pick an asset, an amount (from IDR 14,000), an expiry, and press UP or DOWN. Right: you win about 80% of your stake. Wrong: the stake is gone. That asymmetry is the single most important number in this guide — it means winning half your trades loses money, and the break-even win rate is roughly 56%.
Set your expectation here
Beginners who treat this as a coin-flip casino lose. Beginners who treat it as a probability game — where timing, levels, and discipline shift the odds a few points — have a chance. A few points is all the edge that exists.

Reading the Trading Screen
Price chart
Live market data — switch to candlestick view; it shows far more than the line chart.
Asset picker
Forex pairs, Gold, Crypto and more. Each has its own character and active hours — beginners should start with one asset only.
Order amount
Your stake per trade, from IDR 14,000. Keep it at 1–5% of balance — the number one beginner killer is oversizing.
Expiry (duration)
How long until the trade resolves — from a minute to longer. Shorter expiry = more noise; 1–5 minutes is common for this style.
UP / DOWN buttons
Your prediction. The payout percentage shown next to them is what a win pays.
Order history
Every past trade with its result — your most honest teacher. Review it weekly.
03 · First Steps
Your First Week, in Order
Create the account
Register with an active email — directly on the platform or inside Koala S Pro (APK or web version), which includes Stockity registration. Confirm the email.
Switch to the demo account
Virtual balance, real market data. Everything below happens here — not with real money.
Make 20 slow demo trades
One asset, one expiry (e.g. 1 minute), minimum stake equivalent. Goal: mechanical fluency, not profit.
Add one simple rule
For example: trade only in the liquid hours, only in the trend direction on the 5-minute chart. Track whether your win rate moves.
Review, then decide
After a structured week: win rate above ~56% consistently? Consider a small real deposit. Below? Stay on demo — it's free, your money isn't.

The Five Beginner Rules That Matter
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Stake 1–5% of balance, never more | Survives losing streaks — which are normal, not exceptional |
| Set a daily stop loss before trading | Caps the damage on tilt days, mechanically |
| One asset, one strategy at a time | Clean data; you can't learn from randomness |
| No trading around major news | Direction is a coin flip with extra violence |
| Never chase losses with bigger stakes | Unmanaged martingale is how first accounts die |
Binary options are high risk — treat every rupiah deposited as money you can afford to lose. Anyone on social media promising guaranteed daily profits or selling "VIP signals" is monetizing beginners, not helping them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does trading on Stockity actually work?
You pick an asset, an amount (from IDR 14,000), and an expiry time, then predict whether the price will be higher (UP) or lower (DOWN) at expiry. Correct: you earn the payout — around 80% of your stake. Wrong: the stake is lost.
Is Stockity suitable for complete beginners?
The mechanics are simple to learn and the demo account is free — that makes starting easy. Profiting consistently is the hard part: with an 80% payout you need about a 56% win rate just to break even, which takes a real strategy and discipline.
How much money do I need to start?
Nothing at first — learn on the demo account. When you go real, the minimum deposit is around IDR 140,000, though a working balance near IDR 500,000 gives risk management room to actually function.
What should a beginner absolutely avoid?
Trading real money on day one, increasing stakes to chase losses, trading during major news releases, and trusting anyone who promises guaranteed profits or sells 'VIP signals'. Each of those ends the same way.
Can a bot trade for me as a beginner?
Yes — Koala S Pro's Copy Trading and AI Signal modes are designed to work without manual analysis, and it runs on demo too. But learn the basics first anyway: you need to understand what the bot is doing to configure its limits sensibly.
