In general, what I've seen otc markets are better to trade during high volatility. I can’t say payouts change drastically, keeping the same 80-90% for forex major pairs. Easy to open multiple trades in trendy markets.
While in calmer time, I’d definitely go with CFDs. Here spreads are just fine, stop loss is available to minimize your losses, and of course risk to reward ratio can be as high as you imagine. Compared to options trading, classic trading offers more scaling options, like taking partial profits+ leverage for sure.

Both are solid picks to be honest, but if we look at trading conditions alone, then it’s better to go for options, since they don’t charge any commissions or spreads out there. However, it doesn’t mean CFD trading is bad. Fees are really tight as well compared to most brokers. Spreads are tight, whereas commissions are not charged. Plus, you will have to pay swap fees if you will keep your trades open for several days. Those range from 0.01% to 0.5%.
