IQ Option (Worldwide) Reviews

“Have seen some video reviews about them on YouTube.

I don't remember clearly, but probably started using almost a year ago. I actually use the platform every single day of the week.

Stock collections opened my eyes, I didn’t know that there are so many different stocks available for trading.

Some of my favourite stocks are with low fixed payouts.

Obviously, start from a demo account and the rest will come later.

“I accidentally was looking for CFD brokers, but somehow stumbled upon IQ option broker. Read enough reviews and comments about them.

If I remember properly, I probably started using them in November 2025... I basically open the platform every day to check the market sentiment and my positions.

They offer not only options for trading but also CFD contracts and that makes trading more diversified.

The fact that they don’t offer any AI features disappointed me, they should work on them asap.

Start your experience from a demo account first, and only then you can switch to a live account because that’s how you’ll feel the platform fully...

“Idk when i first saw it, but i knew about the broker. what caught my attention was the experience, they are many years in market.

It was 2024 when i first started, in summer. since then ive used it, combining modes they offer. I can say Im using it everyday, or mostly. At least once a day for options, couple times a week for margin.

Super easy to start trading with options, if you dont like margin trading or a beginner. because its a simplified version of trading.

If you are trading in desktop, everything is okay. In mobile, it's not as flexible for the smaller screen with many features.

I'd say it's a very flexible broker overall. You can trade margin and options here, if that's what you want - then go ahead.

“I saw some videos on youtube and it got my attention tbh, and also read reviews on trustpilot - decided to try.

I started trading on the platform last year, in August and been trading regularly since then. I can say most of the time it's daily trading, sometimes I can do weekly when it comes to some commodities.

It's simple - nothing overwhelming to get adjusted to, charts display every market data correctly and it's clear when to enter and exit trades. Also their support is helpful.

To be honest, I haven't seen something specific that I disliked. I could just recommend them expand their presence more on social media.

I'd recommend to do demo trades first just to see if the platform fits their style and preferences, everyone's different you know, so they should decide themselves.

“Just asked gemini. The summary seemed interesting.

5-6 months I guess, after I watched one video about options trading on YT. Iq option turned to be one of the most famous brokers for this options trading specifically. I use it everyday, if I manage to keep enough discipline :)

It’s all about their platform, which offers equal opportunity to trade cfds, you know leverage, spreads, lots, limit orders, all usual features, along with option trading. Same assets, but traded differently. Only 2 buttons for options, very simple and effective, taking into account OVER 80% profitability rates.

Profitability rates as well as spreads are not fixed. In some trading sessions, it’s just not worth it to trade. Also, have certain difficulties at the beginning, while setting up the platform and completing registration. Was a fly in the ointment for me.

If you want to start with something simple in trading, recommend to go for options trading and then switch to usual cfds, or don’t, if it worked.

“I got to know IQ Option from advertisement and then for a thorough research online, yes i did my due diligence before opening an account here.

Long ago, probably there are two years since i opened my first trading account with IQ Option. I do make some breaks but those breaks have never been longer than two weeks. Aside from the breaks probably every single day i’m using the mobile app and often i use their desktop version.

It’s one of the most reliable names in the industry for quick trading mode, and not bad at all for standard cfd trading. For cfd trading, the range is not as wide as it should be. Especially about the shares. There are really interesting companies included, but it would b great if the number is much bigger.

It provides excellent trading experience in general and it’s worthy of a recommendation. On top of everything the support is really responsive and helpful. Can be trusted.

“I found out about the broker from trading forums where it was praised for quick trading

I opened an account here last year, in 2025 and already been on the platform for more than 6 months. I use IQ Option almost every day since. Their mobile app is very convenient and i even trade directly from my phone

I like its quick trading mode, which is a good fit for traders like me who prefer more frequent trading instead of waiting for the right setup and then waiting even more for the trade to work out.

The profitability rate is okay, not bad, but i have seen other brokers with a higher rate. Maybe they should think of making it even more competitive

I would say it’s worth to try and decide if it fits you. Opening a real trading account costs almost nothing the min depo requirement is only $10

“Honestly, I’m a big fan of auto races like F1, and Nascar. So recently I found out that McLaren collaborated with IQ Option broker, they even advertised this event on their car and I was interested in what broker this is and why McLaren chose them as a partner. So that’s how I ended up here.

As I already told you, it was not a long time ago, probably 4-5 months ago when they announced that and since then I’ve started trading on their platform because their user interface and trading ecosystem feels cool and addicting. Not gonna lie, I’m quite new to trading and that’s why I literally open the platform every day and for some reason I don’t get sick of using it.

Community is exactly what attracted me to their platform. The opportunity to communicate with other traders around the world helps me to grow faster as a trader mentally and professionally. We all talk with each other and share trade ideas or mistakes, thanks to this you learn a lot about markets and price action. Moreover, there are no commissions for trades on options.

I don’t know why, but it seems the user interface is too simple, I mean it’s good, but it would be great to see some advanced features.

If you want to trade some new assets or a new type of trading like options, then choosing iq option makes sense, but if you don’t want anything new, you still can trade even conventional assets like CFDs and to my surprise, the variety of instruments is quite big to satisfy every trader's needs. Impressive... Don’t be afraid to write anything in group chats, everyone is ready to help you no matter what.

“I’m a big fan of auto races, I’ve watched F1 and just usual races, and recently I saw the advertisement that IQ option collaborated with McLaren, and it was a reason why I became so curious about their platform. By the way, I’d like to congrats every fan of F1 and McLaren with a new champion of Formula 1, Lando Norris has done a great job, but I was rooting for Max Verstappen. :)

Honestly, I joined a few months ago and since then I already managed to familiarize myself with all their functions. To my surprise, there was nothing complicated about adjusting to the platform, it’s easy to use.

Candidly speaking, I use it every single day, yep, because it’s not possible to miss one day of trading these days, markets are very active and volatility allows me to trade however i want.

Most useful about IQ Option is the stock collection where I learned about many new american companies, and it’s cool that IQ Option offers so many shares for short-term trading. So far I’m focused on AI stocks.

Well, there are some of my favourite assets that have quite low percentages on payouts and I wondered why there is so much difference between them, some are high, others are low...

If you are still new or lack confidence, pay attention to their blog or stock collection, it’s a good opportunity to find out something new and expand your knowledge about markets. And don’t rush your trades, just wait for suitable setups, the market won’t go anywhere, be patient.

“From other traders, I watched youtube videos from others trading on this platform

6 months ago I opened an account with IQ Option and so far all goes well. I open the app every day, except for weekends, whether for trading or monitoring positions

Most useful about IQ Option is low entry requirements, quick trading mode included, easy to use mobile trading app. But when I opened an acc, they asked me for id and address confirmation. Is this really necessary?

Definitely would recommend to beginners and to people who prefer quick trading mode more than the forex mode
