The MesaTrade desk

MesaTrade is an independent publisher covering offshore fixed-time and digital options brokers from the point of view of readers researching the Brazilian market. This edition is dedicated to one brand — Pocket Option — because that is the brand Brazilian readers search for most, and because the honest answer to most of those searches is a good deal more complicated than the marketing suggests.

How we work

We are not Pocket Option, we are not affiliated with whoever operates the platform, and we do not accept deposits, hold client money or place trades. Nothing here is a recommendation to invest.

Every page starts from a documented source: the operator's own public pages and public regulatory records. Where a figure cannot be confirmed from one of those, we publish a range or leave it out rather than repeat a number found on a review blog. That is why you will not find amounts in reais, dollars or euros here for the minimum deposit, the minimum withdrawal or the demo balance: none of those numbers is published in a verifiable form.

One point recurs across the relevant pages because it changes how everything else reads: the notice published by the operator itself states that the service is not provided to residents of a list of countries, and Brazil is on that list. We do not assert that a resident of Brazil can open an account, deposit or withdraw, and we give no guidance whatsoever on getting around a geographic restriction.

We have not opened, funded or traded a live account with this broker, and we never claim to have done so. What you get instead is an evaluation framework: what to check, what the published record actually says, and where the gaps are. Terms, payout percentages, minimums and country restrictions change without notice — always confirm the live terms on the operator's own pages before acting on anything you read here.

Who edits this site

Editorial responsibility sits with Renata Bittencourt, editora de mercados. Corrections are welcome and handled quickly; if a page here is out of date or wrong, we would rather hear it from a reader than leave it standing.

How we are funded

Our funding model is affiliate partnerships. Today this site is enrolled in that programme: the platform links and sign-up buttons here are affiliate links, and a reader who opens an account through one can earn us a commission — at no extra cost to the reader. The funding page says so, and commissionable links are marked as sponsored in the page markup.

A word on risk

Fixed-time and digital options are high-risk, short-horizon speculation. Losing the full amount staked is a normal outcome, not an edge case, and no strategy, signal service or bot changes the structure of the product. Most retail accounts in this category lose money. Treat anything you put in as money you can afford to lose entirely.
