Please note that Octa no longer accepts clients from the UK. Octa is an excellent low-cost broker, but it has a few drawbacks. On the one hand, it has very low trading costs, charges no fees for deposits and withdrawals, and offers an excellent copy trading service — though this is not available on iOS mobile devices. On the other hand, Octa is essentially unregulated and has a very limited range of instruments to trade compared to other brokers: 32 Forex pairs, 5 commodities, 10 indices, and 30 cryptocurrencies. If you can look past these issues, you will find a low-cost broker with a fairly standard setup: Two accounts with minimum deposits of 25 USD, a slick mobile app, and a good range of trading tools. Octa also heavily promotes its wide range of bonuses and it can offer leverage of 1:1000 on Forex pairs.

IQ Option does not accept clients from the UK. In this event, we recommend that traders looking for a broker similar to IQ Option review either Pepperstone or AvaTrade. IQ Option appeals to beginners with its unique bespoke social trading platform, low minimum deposits, and excellent trading conditions. However, IQ Option’s non-trading fees are high, and it offers fewer CFDs to trade than other similar brokers. IQ Option’s proprietary social trading platform is very popular among new traders. The platform is very easy to use, provides various sentiment indicators, and allows social trading via a feature labelled Community Live Deal. It also features a large chart with a wide selection of trading tools, including Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, MACD, and RSI. IQ Option offers one live commission-free account with competitive spreads (starting at 0.7 pips on the EUR/USD) and a minimum deposit of only 10 USD, making it accessible to beginner traders. However, while deposits are free, IQ Option charges high withdrawal fees for bank transfers and an inactivity fee of 10 EUR (or equivalent) per month after 90 days of inactivity. IQ Option provides little market research or educational materials, forcing traders to self-educate elsewhere.
