   What we think of Pocket Option

   Where it accepts you, Pocket Option is the easiest place to begin: small minimums, a tidy platform and useful copy trading. The price is weak oversight and public warnings, so deposit little and try a withdrawal early.

   Not for you if: You want a regulator behind your money, or contests make you trade too much

   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
