Overview
Some setups never really age, and this is one of them: the DeMarker oscillator paired with a Moving Average crossover on Pocket Option. It’s a pure trend-following method — you’re not trying to predict reversals, you’re waiting for the market to show its hand and then riding the push for a quick 15-second trade.
The chart runs on 5-second Heikin Ashi candles with OTC currency pairs (payouts around 92%), so the setup is available around the clock. Both indicators are built into Pocket Option — nothing to download, nothing to script.
Chart Setup
- Platform: Pocket Option — OTC currency pairs
- Chart type: Heikin Ashi
- Time frame: 5 seconds
- Trade duration: 15 seconds
- Stake: 1–3% of balance per trade
- Indicators: DeMarker (period 7, levels 70/30) + 2 Weighted Moving Averages (12 and 23)
Indicator 1 — DeMarker (Period 7)
Add the DeMarker oscillator and set the period to 7, with the levels at 70 and 30. The DeMarker measures buying and selling pressure: readings pushing into the upper level show buyers in control, while drops toward the lower level show sellers pressing. On a 5-second chart, the short period-7 setting keeps it responsive enough for 15-second expiries.
Indicator 2 — Two Moving Averages (12 and 23)
Add two Weighted Moving Averages — the same pairing from our original Moving Averages with DeMarker method:
- Fast MA: Weighted, period 12 (the white line in the video)
- Slow MA: Weighted, period 23 (the purple line)
- Set each line’s color and width so the cross is easy to spot at a glance
Their job is simple: when the fast (12) MA crosses the slow (23) MA, the short-term trend has flipped, and the direction of that cross is the direction you trade. The MAs filter out the noise the DeMarker alone can’t.
Entry Rules — Both Must Agree
The rule is strict: no sync, no trade. You only enter when the DeMarker and the MA cross tell the same story at the same time.
UP (Higher) Entry
- DeMarker reaches toward its upper level (70) — buying pressure building
- The fast MA crosses above the slow MA, and the candle closes above the purple line
- Open a Higher trade with a 15-second expiry
DOWN (Lower) Entry
- DeMarker drops toward its lower level (30) — selling pressure building
- The fast MA crosses below the slow MA in a falling market
- Open a Lower trade with a 15-second expiry
If the MAs have crossed but the DeMarker is flat in the middle of its range — or the DeMarker is at an extreme but the MAs haven’t crossed — you skip the candle and wait. Patience is the actual edge in this method; forcing trades between signals is how fast expiries eat an account.
An Honest Losing Trade
The video deliberately keeps a losing trade in the session. That’s not an accident — it’s the point. No method wins every time, and a 15-second expiry leaves zero room to manage a trade once it’s open. What makes the method usable is that wins and losses are both part of the plan: fixed stake, strict entry rules, and no revenge trading after a red close.
Money Management
- Risk a fixed 1–3% of your balance per trade — never raise your stake to chase a loss
- No Martingale on 15-second trades — doubling down compounds risk far faster than it recovers value
- Stop after 2–3 consecutive losses and let the market reset before re-entering
- Cap your trades per session so one choppy OTC stretch can’t undo a week of progress

Risk Disclaimer
This content is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice. Short-term trading is high risk, and 15-second expiries are among the fastest trade durations available. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes — the losing trade in this very video proves it. Always practice on a demo account first, keep your stake at 1–3%, and only trade money you can genuinely afford to lose.
