WITH AN IQ OPTION DEMO ACCOUNT, YOU CAN TRADE CRYPTOCURRENCIES, CFDS, FOREX PAIRS, DIGITAL OPTIONS, AND BINARY OPTIONS ON ONE SINGLE TRADING PLATFORM!

As you may have noticed in this screenshot, there are plenty of instruments to trade with IQ Option, even with an IQ Option practice account. At the particular time of the day when the screenshot above was taken, the following number of instruments were available for trading:

12 cryptocurrencies
144 CFDs¹
45 forex currency pairs
9 digital options²
52 binary options²

¹CFDs (stocks) are the exception - all the available stocks are listed here, not only the ones which are currently open for trading.
² Digital and binary options are only available to non-EU citizens.

These numbers change continuously, depending on the time of the day and of the week (which determine which instruments are available for trading).

Traders who usually can’t wait for the markets to open on a Monday morning will appreciate IQ Option’s OTC binary and digital options which can be traded over weekends. What a great feature indeed!

*OTC options are only available to non-EU citizens.

Another convenient feature of an IQ Option practice account, is the ‘top-up’ feature which allows traders to restore their virtual account balance to the original value.

IQ Option Real Account

An IQ Option live account (real money trading account) offers numerous tradable instruments which can be traded on an easy-to-use trading platform. There are more than 200 assets available which are, again, divided into the following classes:

Professional Account (EU Traders only)

New regulations have been implemented on Binary Options on 2nd July 2018 by IQ Option, and on 1st August they will be implemented on CFDs, as per the norms of the European Union.

After the news of ESMA (European Securities and Market Authority) regulations was released, IQ Option started the planning of two separate accounts for the European Union traders—Retail Client Trading Account and Professional Client Trading Account. The professional clients will not be as affected by this regulation, unlike the retail investors. The retail investors have been banned from options trading and will be highly regulated in case of CFD trading. The professional traders will continue to enjoy Binary Options and Digital Options trading, and will be offered a leverage of up to x500. (Terms and Conditions apply) The negative balance protection is applicable for both the accounts. The professional clients will be able to trade Binary Options, Digital Options, Forex, CFDs, crypto, stocks as well as commodities. The professional clients at IQ Option will enjoy the freedom of participating in all the tournaments.

The retail clients have been temporarily prohibited in the Union from trading Binary Options as it is often traded speculatively, full of risks and asset-or-nothing policy. Leverage has also been limited as more leverage means taking more risks.
