   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
