There is a wide range of assets here, and based on observations, IQ Option is constantly adding new assets to its list.You can use CFD trading and binary options.

A CFD, or contract for difference, is a derivative instrument whose value follows the price of the underlying asset. Any commodity can act as the underlying asset — stocks, metals, etc. When working with CFDs, a trader does not buy or sell the underlying asset. As the name of the instrument implies, we only enter into a contract that will allow us to get the difference between the opening and closing prices of a position. Because of this feature, CFDs are classified as derivatives, that is, derivative financial instruments.

Options

For traders, the platform offers digital options and binary options. Binary options trading is the most popular on the platform. You can trade different assets with them: stocks, forex and commodities. Their essence is that the trader chooses the underlying asset and opens a deal. It indicates its forecast for the price of this asset, whether it will be higher or lower than the current one, and also indicates the amount of the transaction. Profitability with a correct forecast is very high 80-95% of the transaction amount.

Options Digital is a modern trader's tool that provides a flexible system for setting parameters, which increases the chance of making a profit. They allow you to trade different assets. And the main feature is that the profitability of the transaction depends on such a parameter as the strike price. The more the strike price you set differs from the current price level for the selected asset, the greater the potential profit will be. But the risk also increases many times over. Conversely, if you want to reduce the risk of a trade, you can set the strike price so that it does not differ much from the current price. But at the same time, the profit will be low.

Commodities

Speculative trading in commodities provides an opportunity for an investor to earn. Such goods are often the resources that support the world economy, and any change in it provokes fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. You will be able to choose from three commodities for your trades: Brent and WTI oil, as well as gold. The product offered by the broker is popular among traders.

Stocks

Indices

An index CFD is a settlement contract, by buying and selling which the parties place bets on the growth or decline of the underlying indicator. In other words, if the buyer opened a long position, this transaction can be considered as a purchase of a package of securities that are included in this index.
