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 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
