   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
