Our verdict on IQ Option
IQ Option offers the best technology here and the most mature apps. Keep in mind which entity you are dealing with: outside Europe, it is an unregulated company, and the brand is under sanction proceedings in Brazil. Good for platform quality, weak on protection.
Skip it if: You trade only now and then (inactivity fee) or withdraw several times a month

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
