Founded in 2014, Olymp Trade has been operating for over a decade, expanding its services and user base considerably, now offering focused trading in fixed-time trades (previously known as binary options in some regions) and Forex. Specifically, Olymp Trade operates two trading modes: fixed-time trades and forex mode. Fixed-time trades refer to trades with predetermined expiration times, where traders predict market movement directions. Payouts typically range from 70-90% of the investment amount. Forex Mode is a more traditional forex trading approach with variable leverage (up to 1:500 for experienced traders). At the same time, it allows for more sophisticated trading strategies with customisable take-profit and stop-loss orders.
