1. My document for proof of identity...

1. My document for proof of identity was declined on 26 April for being blurry.

The retry button has not been opened till tomorrow, despite attempting daily to upload a better document.

2. Since I have deposited on 7 May, I have not been allowed to trade because my real balance on the trading platform is ZERO.

I want my deposited money to reflect as real balance on the trading platform to allow me start trading instantly OR GIVE ME REFUND.

Loss:
$3000

Preferred solution: Full refund

Trading EURUSD

AI Highlights
  • - Friday night EURUSD spiked and spreads jumped, my buy limit filled where needed with no slip; execution speed mattered for my continued trading.

There was a Friday night trade I still;; remember. EURUSD spiked, spreads jumped, my heart was in my throat, but the buy order limit filled right where I needed it.

No slip. I sat there, shaking, realizing execution speed really matters, thats why I survived and still trading here.

Moved from demo to real trading

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Once I saw one iq option trading review - seemed from an experienced trader. I liked the tone of the review about doing demo same as real trading and started doing real trades after testing the platform.

In both cases the platform worked similarly. *** worked normally.

User's recommendation: Test the account features first and build experience gradually from demo

Opened a real account

I took a recommendation and opened my first real account with an extremely low initial deposit and already making trades :)

User's recommendation: It takes only a $10 deposit and it’s a great place to make the first baby steps in trading!

I’m satisfied with the platform

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The platform aims for simplicity.
  • - One account supports CFDs and options.
  • - The app has a proprietary trading engine and mobile trading is easy.

I like how they keep things as simple as possible. One account which you can use it to trade cfds, or options plus some other trading modes are included, but I keep to these two. And the trading app, they have their proprietary trading engine which is incredibly convenient and you can easly trade even from your phone.

Trading conditions check

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I tested iq option for some time focusing mainly on pricing and execution for cfds. costs looked reasonable compared to few other platforms I tried.

web interface simple and trades open without issues. sometimes spreads felt higher during volatility, but overall still acceptable for my trading style.

User's recommendation: actually solid broker,but better test on demo first and compae pricing before using real funds

Some things great, some things not much

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Iqoption can be considered for trading.
  • - The trading execution area is convenient.
  • - Design and analytics with news and sentiment are handy.

Overall, I can say, Iqoption can be considered for trading. The place where the actual trading happened to be executed was convenient to use.

Design, analytics with news and sentiment, handy platform, not gonna lie. Spreads not the best to compare with other

User's recommendation: I have a few: 1) for fast withdrawals better to choose e-wallets 2) options better for stable trading costs 3) don’t overplay with leverage…

Refusal to Provide a Copy of the Contract – Serious Lack of Transparency!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - No response for 65 days to my request for a 2016 contract.
  • - I have received no official documents or account statements.

Until today, April 27, 2025, I have not received any response at all, and my request has not been processed, nor has there been any response regarding the request. There is only evasion and complete disregard for messages.

=========================================

This response from IQ Option to my Trustpilot review does not address my request and instead provides a generic reply without offering a real solution وMy request is clear: I am asking for an official document of the contract that governed my relationship with your company when I opened my account in 2016.

I have been reaching out to your support team through multiple channels for 65 days without receiving any response.

I am facing complete neglect whenever I request any official document from the company . Directing me to contact support or email again is unhelpful, as I have already done that with no results.

The refusal to provide an official document raises serious concerns about the companys transparency and credibility. A reputable and legally compliant company should have no issue providing such documents to its clients. Given the numerous legal complaints and fines against IQ Option, your reluctance to provide basic documentation only reinforces these concerns.

I expect a clear and direct response addressing my request.

If I do not receive the requested document, I will be left with no choice but to escalate this matter further.

=========================================

I asked IQ Option to provide me with a copy of the contract I agreed to when I opened my account in 2016, which is a basic right for any client to ensure that I know the legal terms that bind me to the company. However, my request was completely ignored and not responded to, which raises serious questions about the transparency and legal practices of this company.

I noticed that during the 8 years of my dealings with iq Option Company, until now I have not received anything official from them, neither an account statement, nor a copy of the contract, nor any official records.

I have had very bad experiences with the company over the past 8 years and I will write about them in the reviews and highlight each problem separately for the benefit of all.

Any reliable company that respects its customers and abides by the laws should be able to provide this type of documentation readily.

Their refusal to provide me with the contract raises doubts about their credibility and perhaps an attempt to hide illegal terms or mislead customers.

If you are considering trading with this company, think twice! Not being able to obtain your own contract means that you could be exposed to significant legal risks without any real protection.

Recommendation: Stay away from this platform until they prove that they are a transparent company that respects the rights of their customers.

Loss:
$950000
Cons:
  • Manipulation of licenses
  • Serious legal breaches in contract terms
  • Manipulation of the platform and withdrawals

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: "I strongly advise against dealing with IQ Option. My experience was disastrous: clear manipulation of trades, significant withdrawal delays, and a complete failure to honor the Diamond VIP account benefits. The company has consistently refused to provide a transparent account statement despite repeated requests, raising serious doubts about their integrity. Be warned — there is a high risk of losing your money without any real protection."

Need to understand the risks

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Entered a trade and was wiped out due to no stop-loss.
  • - No stop-loss means you can lose everything fast.
  • - Needs clearer rules for beginners.

Literally, I wnet into a trade, and instantly got wiped out... There's no stop-loss, you just lose everything, if trade goes badly right away for you.

Needs to have more rules, for people who dont understand.

Now I know why people say always trade demo first,but I didnt. A costly, very costly mistake

The most established platform for quick trading

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Pick correlated assets and open fast trades.
  • - Withdrawals on time; payments weren't canceled.
  • - Orders were executed at the quotes I requested.

I spent quite a while time at this platform to understand its values. What you cant do with forex trading, here it was possible.

I was just picking correlated assets and open quick trades, predicting the trend. This gave me a consistent trading volume, while I could save some energy on traditional cfd trading, looking for big RR setups. What made this exact broker special, is their reliability in these years.

They:

a) Didnt freeze or cancel payments. I get my withdrawals on time without exceptions

b) Executed my orders with quotes, I requested, not games, no sudden stops triggered

This was my way of trading that provided me with some good $$$
