   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

   Our verdict on Expert Option

   Expert Option is the most beginner-friendly interface of the three and has a usable app. Its lack of a government licence and a narrower asset list place it third. A reasonable alternative if the other two are unavailable to you.

   Skip it if: You want a wide asset list or longer-term analysis
