In fact, this broker offers only stocks, commodities, ETFs and currency pairs for trading. Some traders may find this feature inconvenient, while I believe that happiness is in modesty.

You know, according to my observations, many traders tend to trade currency pairs, other invest in stocks. Crazy ones who enter the market for the first time trade cryptos, lost their funds and then leave. Experts and professionals prefer trading stocks or indices/commodities.

So, if we have only four assets, then we should choose from them. They are universal! All traders regardless their expertise can trade these assets and there is no need to read tons of learning materials or stay on demo for eternity.

In addition, you have a 1:500 leverage for forex, even those crazy guys who prefer cryptos can trade fx with such leverage and get an adrenaline doze they require.

How I met IQ Option
October 16, 2022

I used to work with several brokers but it was always something wrong like lack of regulation, poor range of assets or just a scam behaviour. That's why I searched for another broker with whom I can trade in full power. Then I spot IQ options and get aquantied with its conditions. It seemed nice so I gave it a try. Later on broker turned out to be a reliable one so I replace my funds here. It's safe and regulated.

Here I trade cross-pairs. Leverage on these asset is smaller than on majors but it's ok because cross pairs are good for long term trading.

Ive made money with them, and withdraw with no problems, so you just have to know basic trading and strategies. Before u play with real cash you have to verify your account.

I have searched the internet for it and far most I know about this that it is a scam and the internet is full of fake comments by bots(Even youtube comments) You can experience this yourself. They have made fake websites.
I came to know this after reading an article from the yahoo.com and as it was authentic I searched it and was amazed of the result but with a confusion that why not everyone is investing in it as it is so good. I was in their spell for some time then I investigate it and try to see the other side of the coin. I can't find good source that proves it is not a scam plus when I backtracked history I found out that at first the source by which I came to know was yahoo finance page was not yahoo page but it was a page specifically designed to percieve the user that he/she is seeing the yahoo page and it eventually redirect to the scam website.

So beware.
Don't invest in this.

I am a business student, so I had hopes that I dont know doing business would help me advance in my career and learn more. Next thing I know, Im trying trading to see what it would yield. So invested, and made a little, eventually I withdrew to reassess my choice. Then I tried again, this time it took longer I was making less and with every deposit, it seemed as though a pattern was emerging the system seemed to favour me after a deposit for many hours and then it would go downhill. Several time, I rose to over 800$ from a $300 account in a single night after making a deposit. I was hopeful and thought of withdrawing, but like the sweet and well-structure platform IQoption is they have no way to protect you because, I believe, they have no reason to protect you when they are the victimizers.
They offer amicable solutions to their victims that denounce them, its obviously not good for a business that defrauds people to have attention drawn to those facts. It makes sense that they were banned in the US. Although they claim not to accept US customers or traders.

Hello Joe S, thank you for your review!

First of all, let me apologise for any issues that you have faced while trading with IQ Option.

I would like to comment on the situation in order to clarify some pointes.
1) IQ Option was never banned in the USA. We have not yet entered American market, because we are in the process of getting necessary licenses. Legitimate way to run business is our priority, therefore we spend time and effort to get all the necessary documents to work in the USA.
2) Unfortunately I have not fully understand what blocked you from withdrawing. As for trade results, I should say that charts are based on quotes that we receive from our quotes providers and only reflect real market situation.
In case you have questions about some specific trade, please contact us via [email protected]

We invite you to contact our support team in case you have specific questions about your deals and our specialists will assist you very shortly.

Thank you!

Scam
March 4, 2015

As soon as I registered and deposited money into this site, I was no longer able to access or navigate the site in any way. Fortunately I only lost £10 but could easily have been more! Stay away!

Hello James M!

Thank you very much for your review.
Please note that IQ Option can never block accounts for no reason.
That is simply illegal and therefore out of our practice. We do not block account based on their Profitability, this is illegal as well and can be traced.
We can block the account in case we detect fraudulent activity on the account, also if we don't receive all the required documents for verification or if one has used the third party's details.
The violation of our Terms&Condition should take place for such actions from our side.
Please, contact our support for the reason why your account is blocked.
Our email is [email protected]

Thank you!
