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 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
