Three steps to hit $1 million and join IQ Option millionaires
First step: timing
The first thing you should think through is when you want your $1 million. Would you rather have it in the near future or your dream is to have $1 million for your retirement? In both cases, the math looks the same.
To calculate how many years you ought to save in order to have $1 million by the desired age, you have to take this age and subtract your present age. For example, if you wish to reach $1 million at the typical retirement age of 65 and you are now 30, you get 35 years to make savings.
Second step: investment return
Here you should decide how big investment return you expect. There are a few factors you have to take into consideration. For example, your risk tolerance. You can review how different types of investments performed in the past, although there is no guarantee the situation will repeat.
Oftentimes, the safer investment, the lower return. This is why many investment portfolios consist of a combination of different types of investments. This allows graduating the level of risk and the height of return at the same time.
Third step: your savings number
As I mentioned in the beginning, your annual savings number depends largely on how early you start to save. If, for example, you have 40 years until retirement, with a 4% annual return rate, you will just need to save $10523 per year.

Can you become a millionaire trading binary options?
Trading and speculation in financial markets is a lucrative occupation provided you are successful. However, nothing is guaranteed in the market. Statistics show that the vast majority of traders lose money. Does this mean that you cannot make money? The first conclusion that comes to mind is that it is difficult. This is an undeniable fact. The second conclusion offers a lot of hope. Since so many people are losing money, it means that those who are making money are making a lot of money.
Binary and digital options are instruments with a very simple structure and it is certainly possible to make money on them. Switching to the profit side does not happen by itself or just because you wish it to. It is always the result of working on your trading methods and your own psyche. You can become rich trading on IQ Option, but the road to your goal will certainly not be easy. Learn and train on a demo account to get closer to success.
