Anatomy of the Binomo Web Terminal
What each region of the browser screen does - the instrument selector, the chart, the study panel, the trade panel, the balance selector and the history list.
Open a Binomo demo →The Binomo web terminal is a single browser page with six working regions. Top left is the instrument selector, grouped into currency pairs, commodities, stock indices, shares and crypto assets. The centre is the chart - candlestick, line or bar, with timeframes from seconds to hours - and the built-in studies are drawn on that same surface. On the right sits the trade panel with the amount field, the expiry selector, the payout figure and two direction buttons. Above them is the balance selector, and below sits the history list of settled contracts. Nothing is installed; the page is the platform.
The regions of the screen, one at a time
- Instrument selector, top left: the list grouped into currency pairs, commodities, stock indices, shares and crypto assets
- Chart, the centre: candlestick, line or bar views, with timeframes running from seconds up to hours
- Study panel, drawn on the chart itself: moving averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and Alligator, plus trend lines and levels
- Trade panel, on the right: the amount field, the expiry selector, the payout figure and the two direction buttons
- Balance selector and history list: which balance the panel points at, and every contract that has already settled
- Nothing is installed - the browser page is the whole terminal, and the app rearranges these same regions for a phone
Region by region
| Region | What it controls | What it cannot do |
|---|---|---|
| Instrument selector | Which instrument the chart and the panel refer to | Change a contract that is already open |
| Chart | View type, timeframe, studies and drawings | Open a contract by itself |
| Study panel | Which of the built-in studies are drawn over price | Accept an imported file |
| Trade panel | Stake, expiry and direction | Alter the payout figure it displays |
| Balance selector | Whether the panel points at virtual or real funds | Be changed while a contract runs |
| History list | Reading settled contracts | Reopen or extend one |
Why the chart and the panel are separate halves
It is tempting to read the Binomo screen as one thing, but it behaves as two. The chart is a viewing instrument: view type, timeframe, studies and drawings all change what you see and none of them change what you own. The trade panel is the acting instrument: amount, expiry and direction. Nothing on the chart opens a contract, and nothing on the panel redraws the price.
The one place they meet is the expiry marker, the vertical line the terminal draws at the instant the contract will settle. That marker is where a panel decision becomes a chart event, and reading it is the difference between watching a trend and watching a contract.
Timeframe against expiry, on the same screen
The most common way to misread this terminal is to treat the timeframe as if it were the expiry. They are set by different controls and they answer different questions. A one-minute contract sitting under an hourly chart is not wrong in any technical sense - the platform will accept it - but the movement that decides the result is compressed into a fraction of one bar and is effectively invisible.
The practical rule is to keep the timeframe short relative to the expiry, so the bars on the screen are actually the bars the contract will settle inside. It costs nothing to test the pairing on the demo balance, and it is one of the few habits that carries over to every instrument in the selector.
Walking the screen once, before anything is pressed
- Open the instrument selector and note which group you are in - currency pairs, commodities, indices, shares or crypto assets.
- Set the chart view and the timeframe, and let the chart finish redrawing before reading it.
- Switch on one built-in study at a time from the panel on the chart rather than several at once.
- Read the balance selector at the top so you know which balance the trade panel points at.
- On the trade panel, set the expiry first and the amount second, then read the payout figure the pairing produced.
- After settlement, find the contract in the history list and compare it with what the panel showed at entry.
