IQ Option

Rating: 4.4 / 5

IQ Option is a CFD broker that provides traders with the unique opportunity to trade pairs of competing assets, such as stocks, against each other. Traders receive a proprietary trading platform, which features tight spreads with commission-free trading from 0.1 pips and a maximum leverage of up to 1:500. I rate IQ Option as best for traders who specialize in highly liquid assets. Its swap-free accounts also make it ideal for overnight strategies.
