    Our verdict on Pocket Option

    Pocket Option is the easiest place to start in markets where it accepts clients: low minimums, a clean platform and useful social features. The trade-off is weak regulation and public warnings from major regulators, so only deposit what you can afford to lose and test a small withdrawal early.

    Skip it if: You want a regulator behind your account, or gamified features tempt you to overtrade

    Our verdict on Binomo

    Binomo is easy to start with and cheap to test, but its protection rests on a private body and it is flagged by India's central bank. A reasonable pick only where it accepts clients and the higher-ranked brokers don't.

    Skip it if: You want expiries longer than an hour or any regulator behind the broker
