Buying a Pocket Option Bot From a Freelancer or Seller: Questions to Ask First

This page is about paying a person — a freelancer or reseller — for a custom or second-hand bot, what you are actually buying, who maintains it after delivery, refunds, and what proof to ask for. It is not about choosing between ready-made bots (see how to choose a Pocket Option bot) or building one yourself.

What you are actually buying — a script, a licence, or a signal feed

"Bot" can mean three different things, and they cost and behave differently:

• A script — code (a browser extension or a script) you run yourself on your own machine. You own the file; the seller's job is done at delivery unless they promised updates.
• A licence — the right to use someone else's software, sometimes tied to your account or device. Ask whether the licence is per-account or per-device, whether it expires, and whether it survives a seller's server going offline.
• A signal feed — you don't get software at all; you get entries (a list, a channel, a subscription) and you place the trades yourself or feed them to something else. Ask what happens when the feed stops.

A fixed, named product with published plans is easier to reason about than an anonymous one. For comparison, Avalisa publishes its plans plainly: Basic is $69 one-time; Pro is $119 one-time OR $29/month (a real recurring subscription) — you choose at checkout. If a seller's offer has no such plain description, ask what exactly you get and for how long.

Who fixes it when the trading page changes

A Pocket Option bot works by reading and clicking the trading page. When the platform changes that page, the bot can silently stop working — or worse, misread it. Before paying, ask:

• Who fixes it, and how fast? A freelancer who disappears after delivery fixes nothing.
• Is support included in the price, or sold separately later?
• What happens to your licence or feed if the seller stops maintaining it?

If the answer to "who fixes it" is "nobody," you are buying a script that may stop working the next time the trading page changes — and you are the one who has to notice.

Proof worth asking for — a demo trade log with total count, settings and losses, not screenshots

Screenshots are cheap and editable. Ask for a demo trade log: the full history of trades the bot actually placed on a Pocket Option demo account, showing:

• The total trade count, not just the last few entries — a log of hundreds of trades is harder to cherry-pick than ten wins.
• The settings used (timeframe, stake pattern, stop rules) so you can compare them against your own plan.
• The losses, not just the wins. Any honest log shows losing trades. If the seller only shows wins, ask for the losing entries specifically.

You can then test the same settings yourself on a demo account — see test a trading bot on demo. Remember the maths underneath any log: at a 92% payout, break-even is a 52.1% win rate (break-even = 1/(1+p)). If the bot uses Martingale, the exposure grows with the step count — Steps N means N+1 trades in a cycle, so at 2x, Steps 2 = 7x and Steps 3 = 15x the base stake. Ask what step count the shown log used; see Martingale risk, explained.

Questions before paying

Ask these before money moves, and keep the answers in writing:

1. Refunds: If the bot doesn't work as described, do you get your money back? What counts as "doesn't work"? Who decides?
2. Updates: Are fixes included, or extra? How long after delivery will you fix it if the trading page changes?
3. Your login: Does it ask for your Pocket Option login? A script that runs in your own browser should not need your password at all — if it does, ask what it does with it.
4. Ownership: If it's a script, do you get the actual file? If it's a licence, what exactly does it cover and for how long?

If any answer is vague, the answer is "no." Also check the general safety questions in is a Pocket Option bot safe or a scam.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to give a freelancer my Pocket Option password?

No. A bot that runs in your own browser trades from your already-logged-in session and does not need your password. If a seller asks for your login, ask exactly what they use it for and whether they can see your account balance.

The seller showed me a demo log with lots of wins. Should I trust it?

Check the total trade count, the settings used, and whether losing trades are in it. Wins are easy to show; a full log with losses and settings is what tells you what the bot actually does. Then run the same settings on your own demo account before paying.

Can I get my money back if it stops working?

Only if you agreed a refund before paying. Ask what counts as a failure, who decides, and how long after delivery you can claim it — and keep that answer in writing.
