Updated Berman Strategy for 2026
45sPromises consistent profits on a 1-minute timeframe, appealing to beginners seeking a reliable binary options method.
▶ Play ClipThis video presents an updated version of the Berman strategy for binary options trading on a 1-minute timeframe, designed to help traders achieve consistent profits. The strategy combines Bollinger Bands and an exponential moving average to identify dynamic support and resistance zones, with specific entry rules based on trend direction and price touches on the bands.
The Berman strategy is updated for 2026 to work on a 1-minute timeframe, aiming for consistent profits even for beginners.
Use Bollinger Bands with period 22 and deviation 22, and an exponential moving average with period 100. Remove the middle line of the Bollinger Bands.
Bollinger Bands act as dynamic support and resistance zones. The moving average indicates the trend direction.
Only trade when the moving average is outside the Bollinger Bands (above or below). If the average is inside the bands, do not trade.
When the average is below the bands, only take buy trades. When the average is above the bands, only take sell trades.
For a sell trade, wait for the price to touch the upper Bollinger Band. For a buy trade, wait for the price to touch the lower Bollinger Band.
Use a two-level martingale (three entries total) with doubling amounts. First entry at base amount, second at double, third at quadruple.
If a candle touches the band but also breaks through the moving average, do not enter the trade. If not an immediate win, do not continue martingale.
The updated Berman strategy for 1-minute binary options trading, when combined with proper martingale management, can yield consistent profits. Success depends on strict adherence to the rules and emotional control.

15:52[00:02] was one of the most widely used methods for enabling ordinary people to consistently profit in the binary options market. And today I'm going to show you an update to this strategy so that you can use it in
[00:15] so that you can use it in 2026 in a way that allows you to operate on a 1-minute timeframe and still, using the updated Berman strategy, achieve consistent profits even as a beginner trader. I'm not saying it
[00:29] 's the ultimate goal, because you need to manage it correctly, control your cyclical. There will be times when she'll be better, and times when she'll be worse. But overall, if you do a historical backtest of the strategy, you
[00:42] 'll see that yes, it is a profitable and lucrative strategy. So go ahead and like this video and watch until the end. Here in the chart, I've placed these green lines at all the times it showed a winning performance while trading
[00:54] Bitcoin. One win, two wins, three wins, four wins, five wins, six wins, seven wins, eight wins in a row in that period alone. Remember that you can use it with any brokerage firm where
[01:07] you trade options. And the brokerage I use is EBNEX. By creating your account and making your first deposit today, you'll already earn R$ 25, which will be in $ and although your balance will be in dollars at the brokerage, you can make
[01:21] withdrawals via Pix, okay? So let's go . First, I'm going to remove all the indicators and show you how to configure them correctly. You go to the indicators tab of your brokerage and the first indicator is the
[01:33] Bollinger Band. So, in addition to the Bollinger Bands, you will also use another indicator, which is the exponential moving average . So, you type here, look, exponential, and exponential moving average will appear . Okay, I've added
[01:46] both indicators, and now you need to configure them correctly. So you go up here to the indicator or double-click here on the chart, and it will double-click here on the chart, and it will open the tab to edit the period and the
[01:59] deviation or the multiplication. Then you put 22 for the period and 22 for the standard deviation, which is the multiplier. This is the main change
[02:11] you need to make for use with the 1-minute timeframe chart . Specifically, I ran a backtest across various time periods and deviations, and this one was truly the best. And besides, I based it on the crypto assets available on the Binex exchange, which is why
[02:25] it, okay? Okay, the Bollinger Band has been configured. Now we're going to configure the exponential moving average and the period to 100. Once that's done, it's configured. I'm just going to change the color. I'll make the moving average yellow, and
[02:40] I'll keep the Bollinger Bands in their default color. The only thing I'm going to do here in Bollinger's band is this . I'll explain you going to use it during the implementation of the strategy? But you
[02:55] can see that it has a blue line at the top, an orange line in the middle, and a blue line at the bottom. I'm just going to remove the middle line because we're not going to use it for anything at all. Beauty? So,
[03:07] this way, the way you visualize the graph will be much more interesting, okay? Very good. So, how does this strategy work? Basically, when we use the Bolling's Band indicator, we
[03:20] Bolling's Band indicator, we make it serve as a delimiter of the support and resistance region. What is a support region? When the price is falling, it reaches a certain region where it tends to bounce back and go up.
[03:33] This would be the support area, OK? It is a resistance level when the price makes horizontally flat tops. This is a region of resistance that it tends to touch and fall into. However, the market is not rigid. We have
[03:46] trend movements. Sometimes the market will make slightly higher highs and slightly lower lows, depending on whether it's in a trend or not. Therefore, using the Berman strategy is interesting because we will look for
[03:58] interesting because we will look for minimum points to enter our trades, as if it were a support level, or maximum points. If you are in a downtrend scenario, we will look for peaks so that you can
[04:10] resistance zone. I'll show you in a moment, you'll understand everything, okay? But basically, we'll be focusing on the peak moments within a trend. The trend is observed through the yellow line, which is the exponential moving average. The
[04:23] minimum and maximum points are observed using the Bollinger Band indicator. The primary function of the Bollinger Band indicator is to identify chart volatility, but it's an adaptation that allows us to use it to create
[04:37] dynamic support and resistance zones. So, imagine that this little a support and the little line up above acts like a resistance. It's no coincidence that the price rarely exceeds these regions. He touches it and falls. Touch,
[04:51] fall. Sometimes he gives little taps, then falls, goes to the other side, touches down here, goes up, goes over here, falls, and then he keeps going, you see? So it falls he keeps going, you see? So it falls within that price range. Beauty? But
[05:03] you're going to operate. We're going to do some filtering using the moving average, and the Bollinger Bands. So, the first and most important thing, which is
[05:16] mandatory for you to be able to use the strategy, is the following. Notice that the strategy, is the following. Notice that there are times when the average falls within the bands. What do you mean by "inside the bands"? Here, between the upper band and the
[05:30] lower band. And the average, which is the yellow line, okay? In the middle of the process, when you're in a scenario like this, which was from here to here, when you're in a scenario like this, you absolutely cannot operate within the strategy. Why?
[05:43] Because it means that the trend may not be as strong as it should be, because the band widens and causes the average to become steeper within the band, if that happens, and it will show
[05:57] us that it's an unwise point to perform operations in the strategy. So, that's the first filtering step. You 'll only look for trades when the average is outside the bands, or below the bands, or above the bands, okay?
[06:13] When the average is below the bands, like in this scenario here, from the moment this candle shows it, the average has moved out of the bands and remained there for that entire period before moving back in. We would n't be operating here, but during
[06:26] this period you could carry out operations, okay? In this case, I want you to note down the first rule, which is as follows: when the average is below the Bollinger Bands, you will only perform buy operations. I'm going to
[06:44] draw a little "c" here, even put it in green to make it self-explanatory. Ah, but where do I click? Don't worry, I'll explain it to you in a moment. Beauty? So, understand this concept. And when the average is above the bands, you will look for
[06:57] will I make any sales here. At most, you can buy it. And let's see where you would make a sale. Here, for example, during this period, from here to here, the average
[07:09] was outside the band, and here it has returned to the band. During this period , during these candles, you could look for a sell operation,
[07:21] looking for a selling operation. That's because in this case there was no entry, okay? I 'll explain to you that you'll see there really wasn't a trigger here, but if there were to be any entry point, it would be a sell. Beauty? That's awesome! That
[07:35] 's the filtering process. Here, for example, there was, oh, here there was an entry that was a a successful first-rate operation, using the Berman strategy in M1, okay? I'll explain how you're going to use the strategy,
[07:50] because the trigger hasn't been explained yet. It's important to emphasize that you will always need to use analysis, filtering, and triggers. In the case of the Berma strategy, here in the analysis section, since it's a strategy built with indicators,
[08:03] You'll have the filtering and you'll have the trigger. The filtering is done using the moving average, okay? And the trigger is what I'm going to show you now on the computer screen. The trigger you'll use is the one that hits the Bollinger Band, OK? But
[08:21] hits the Bollinger Band, OK? But remember, you'll only find a trigger and actually get one if you 're in a scenario where the moving average is outside the bands, okay? either above or below. In this scenario, for example,
[08:36] we have an average above the Bollinger Bands. So, what should you be looking for? Looking for a sales transaction, OK? So, in this scenario, you're going to look for the sales operation. But what is the trigger? The trigger is the
[08:51] what is the trigger? The trigger is the price touching the upper band. So, as soon as you have a candle that touches or even goes beyond the upper Bollinger Band , which was the case with this candle here, this one touched the
[09:04] up, up, up, up. At some point it touched her, n't matter. Okay, so you're going to make a trade predicting that the next candle will
[09:16] be a correction candle, a falling candle, so it will be a sell trade, right? And that's exactly what happened, and it was a first-round victory. So here in this scenario, look how interesting, a successful operation, right?
[09:30] interesting, a successful operation, right? Why? The band was exactly in that region, the price touched the band, and the moving average was above the bands. Moving average above the bands. Let's look for a sale. And the sale will only go through if
[09:45] a sale. And the sale will only go through if the price touches the upper band. Ah, Berman, what if you had played in the lower band during that period? The average is outside the bands and played in the bottom band. Should I buy it? No, because it's a
[09:58] you're trading against the trend, that's why it would be wrong. So, we're going to trade in favor of the trend, right? So here we will identify the trend from the average and the trigger in the Bollinger Band. And now I'm going to
[10:11] show you the scenario, the example , of a purchase operation, exactly at the point I showed you earlier. So, in this case, we have the exponential moving average outside the bands. So, it's a
[10:23] positive time to get involved. Oh, what am I going to enter? Bought or sold? Purchased. Why? Because it's below. If it's below the bands, it's a buy. And my trigger will be the touch on the lower Bollinger Band. In that case. So
[10:36] here, a buy transaction would be made because at some point this candle caught, it touched this point. The moment she touched this spot, you say that the next candle will be green. And then you would have taken a buy position, right? And the next
[10:48] candle was green, it would have won on the first try. That being said, the movement continued, and then this red candle here went and touched and pierced through. But it's okay, she touched it here, you say the next candle will be
[11:02] green. So you make a buy trade and win. One detail: if you 're trading on BNEX, it's much easier because you can just tap and log in. If you're trading on Iption, Cotex, or whichever broker you use, if you trade
[11:16] that EBNEX isn't traditional binary options, it's an evolution of the market, it's the new options— If you're a traditional binary options trader , I recommend you trade on you still insist on using the
[11:28] traditional retracement, what do you do? You have to wait until the very end of the candle, okay? next candle, so your entry will be practically at the very end of it, capturing the movement of the entire next candle . Beauty? So this would
[11:42] also have been a successful operation. So in these three scenarios, three operations, all three operations result in a first-time victory. However, in M1 it is more efficient to use the Berman strategy with specific management. There's fixed-hand position management, where you
[11:58] always enter with the same amount, and recovery management, where you increase the amounts of subsequent entries if you experience a loss. So, also known as the martingale strategy, it's one of the recovery management strategies,
[12:12] and it also involves leverage management. In the case of this strategy in M1, the most efficient approach, according to all the backtests I've done, is precisely using a two- level martingale, that is, three entries in total.
[12:25] The first operation, then martingueil one and martingueil two, right? And I'm going to show you right now. And one important detail before I show you, look at my history. I know some people are prejudiced against Martingale, but look
[12:38] , over 20,000,000 positive results in the month of May. All of this was operating live. I always operate for free at 8 PM on my you're not a student of Binary Class, my 100% free course; it's in the description. And
[12:52] there's also the Telegram group where I send the links to the live streams when I'm going to operate. And we also have live sessions with other traders from my team. So in the description. Why am I showing you this? So you can see that even though I had a
[13:05] got stopped out, I entered with $0.000, and I lost. Then I entered with double 2000, I lost, and 4K doll and I lost. So I stopped at 7,000. However, it was the first stoppage of the month. It's been nothing but profit here. Actually, there was a stop-loss here too, but it wasn't
[13:20] with martingale; it was a stop-loss from a live attempt to leverage the position, right? So if you look at the data from the beginning of last year, operating live, look at the amount of profit: 168,000
[13:34] positive. And all of this was practically done using a martingale. So, I used to be very critical of the martingale strategy, but I see that the market is getting methodologies and strategies that allow us to profit from martingale. And
[13:48] the problem with the martingale isn't the martingale itself, it's how you use it. If you you're going to mess things up. If you use it the right way, you can profit and you can indeed make a living from trading. So, I'm going to show you how to use it and how the operations would work in practice
[14:03] , okay? So, remember how you're going to use it in the simplest way possible, okay? There's some math behind it; you could input the exact number, but the most efficient, simplest, and
[14:16] quickest way to avoid confusion in real time is to double the input value. So, let's assume that in your operation you start by entering with an 0, right? So, what's the value of your next bet if you
[14:30] It's double. And what is the value of your next bet if you take the loss? next bet if you take the loss? Is $ okay? So,
[14:43] So, if you lose all three, you've been stopped out . When you set your stop-loss order, you'll . When you set your stop-loss order, you'll see that it's approximately seven to eight times the value of a win, okay? So , when you hit a stop loss, it's
[14:55] a really big blow, but the probability of hitting a stop loss is low. Beauty? Also , how are you going to apply this management style in practice? I'll show you now. entrance here. You can see that there are times when there is no entrance. So,
[15:11] here, for example, there haven't been any opportunities from here to here, right? No entry opportunities. Patience. Beauty? Ah, it's important to understand that this is a scenario where you shouldn't operate, okay? So, here's the thing: when
[15:23] you have a candle here that touched the band, and the average was outside the bands, but the candle itself broke through the average, you see? If you had bought, you would have won, you would have, but you should n't have entered that scenario, you
[15:35] would have been wrong. When a candle touches the band, it's already showing that it's going to break through the average as well, so you don't enter the trade. Beauty? Of course, going to break. Let's suppose the average was down here, and it was like, an
[15:52] you would have gotten a ticket, patience. So, if you enter a moment that seemed good and then it breaks through the average, my recommendation is: if it's not an immediate win, don't continue with the martingale strategy. Then you take the
[16:06] loss, be patient, it's a one-time loss, and then you trade again, okay? So let's look for an ideal scenario to show you. And here I've already found an average above the bands. So let's look for a sell opportunity, and the sell should
[16:20] only be made when the price touches the upper band, which is exactly what happened in this candle here. This candle touched the upper band. A sell operation should be performed here so that the next candle is a red candle. That
[16:34] was not the case. So this was a defeat. So what would you have done here? Would you have entered OK on that candle ? You entered this candle here with pity. And then, with the next candle, you realized it started rising, rising, rising, and was about to
[16:49] give up. Towards the very end of it, you would already be catching a sell signal predicting that the next candle would fall. And then, unfortunately, that was a defeat too. But at the very end, realizing that
[17:03] victory wasn't going to happen, you would make one last attempt. So here you entered last attempt. So here you entered with pity, then the next time you lost, you entered with 2, lost again, entered with four, OK? And it fell. So he lost one,
[17:17] he lost two, but the operation of 4 was successful because the next candle was a falling candle. So even if you have two losses and one win, it's considered a win in the Martingale cycle, okay? And if you do a
[17:31] efficient. So, this was a victory with Martingio, right? And I'll show you other moments here, okay? So, for example, here, look. Here, Mé was above the band, she played, she would have made a sale. There
[17:46] was defeat here, another sale, defeat again, and here victory once more on the third attempt. Right? Here, the red candle broke through and surpassed the moving average along
[17:58] with the Bollinger Band. He would have gone in, he would n't have gone in, but if he had gone in, he would have suffered a defeat here and a victory there. But if you caught it, you didn't realize there was a breakout at the average yet, you only realized it later, you took a loss, patience, don't even do the
[18:12] the market plummets here, it was a lucky win, right? Now we're moving on to another scenario, with averages below the bands. He played on the lower band. Pum. Purchase operation. The next candle was green. Victory. It's
[18:27] playing up here, it's going to come in, it's not , because it's outside the strategy, period. The rules are very clear, it's very simple, okay? Here, look, it could have caught the trade, most likely, and then you would have won.
[18:43] And then there are things you can do, for example, I don't know if that was the case here, right? Let's see now. But if you have confluence, it's very confluence. I placed this movement from the high to the low
[18:58] Fibonacci retracement, and there was a convergence here of the 50-degree Fibonacci retracement with this region. So in these cases, when there's a confluence of signals and the ball is practically hitting the target, you can enter the game because you'll most likely get the win. This would have been a
[19:11] first-round victory, by the way. Right? Here, look, another scene here. It almost touched me, it almost touched me. That candle blew, and the next one fell. Boom! victory. See? This one he had entered, he would have either suffered defeat followed by victory or suffered defeat. Then he left
[19:26] . Beauty? Then you can do your backtest. I recommend that see if it really makes sense for you to use it or not. But obviously, if it didn't make sense, I wouldn't be
[19:38] sharing this, it's because it really works. I know I make several videos about strategy and methodology. Some people might think, "Wow, there are a lot of strategies out there." Yes, there are many strategies that work. The biggest
[19:50] execute the strategies correctly. That's the truth, which is hard to swallow. So, if you're not making a profit, it's most likely not a lack of emotional control and poor management. If you do everything correctly,
[20:04] focusing on the process, the result will be a consequence of a job well done. Did you like the video? Leave a like. Don't forget to check out all the very important links in this video's description. Don't forget to
