    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 Olymp Trade

    Olymp Trade sits just behind the top three: a mature platform and clearer corporate paperwork than most offshore rivals, with the usual offshore limits on protection. A sound option where it accepts clients.

    Skip it if: You need a top-tier regulator or live in India
