What we think of IQ Option
IQ Option has the best technology and apps here. Remember that in Asia you deal with an unregulated company and that the brand is on Singapore's and India's alert lists: strong platform, weak protection.
Not for you if: You trade rarely (dormant fee) or withdraw several times a month

What we think of Expert Option
Expert Option has the easiest screen of the leading platforms and a good app. No government licence, fewer assets and its refusal of several Asian markets keep it third.
Not for you if: You want many instruments or longer-term analysis
