Trade Crypto Online with IQ Option

If your balance falls below the required margin, IQ Option closes the position automatically to prevent a negative balance. This is called a stop-out or margin call. Size positions relative to your total balance and always set a stop-loss.

No purchase commission on any crypto CFD. The cost of trading is built into the spread - the difference between the buy and sell price. There are no additional fees per trade.

You trade by dollar amount, not by coin. Open a Bitcoin position for $10, $50, or $500 - minimum $1 per trade. No whole coin required.

Yes. With CFDs you can open a short position - profiting when the price falls. If Bitcoin drops from $60,000 to $55,000, a short position gains on that move. On a spot exchange, falling prices only mean losses. Short selling on IQ Option works the same way as going long - just in the opposite direction, no separate margin account required.

IQ Option does not support forking or airdrops for CFD positions. Your position tracks the primary chain price. This differs from owning crypto directly, where a fork may result in coins on both chains.
