Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.
Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.
Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"
Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"
Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"
Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.
More info coming soon.
Last December 5th of 2014 I decided to open an account with the broker IQOPTION. This broker offers financial product Binary Options. Knowing the risks of investing in this type of financial product, I decided to create and formalized my account. After spending several months(7 months) on this platform, my account was blocked without previous notice. This blocking situation resulted in a retention of all my benefits, an amount of € 6,546.58 and of course the inaccessibility to enter the platform. The reasons given to me for this blocking situation was that I have acted fraudulently and thereby have violated its policy of fraud.After insisting on a better explanation and know the reason which led them to block the account, I have not gotten any response.

This broker isn´t serious. Today by day I haven´t recoverd my profits. I feel a lot rage. Please don´t invest in IQoption.
Wow I've discovered this thread too late. I've been scammed by a couple of brokers now, but not for amounts I really care about. I've now come to the conclusion that Cysec regulated brokers are a complete waste of space. I've since decided to stick to FCA regulated brokers and so far haven't had any issues, but that's probably because I am a British citizen so they would lose their licenses quick if they tried scamming people. I recently opened an account with IQoption which I was a bit tentative about because im not a fan of brokers that are market makers or use the services of market makers. The brokers I used up to this point got there prices direct from the banks. Having done a bit of testing I noticed that the prices roughly followed the correct market prices which for me is good enough. So far I haven't made a withdrawal but I will be within the next week or two and will let you know if I have any problems.
I have already discovered a few issues with this broker though that might be useful to others. I have noticed that the prices will be more likely to be manipulated on slow moving markets so those who trade during quieter periods, don't expect to make profits. Market makers are very good at protecting themselves from losing money. The other thing I have noticed about this broker is that there services and websites have a tendency to all become unavailable all of a sudden. I believe they set a minimum profit or loss for the day. If the loss is reached the services go offline. If they reach the profit the services go offline if it tries to dip below that margin. Either that or their servers get attacked a lot from upsetting the wrong people. If you use the martingale trading strategy or you're a sniper I would probably look for a different broker. Although certain strategies might be the reason some brokers don't pay out.
Koton, I will just make some remarks to your statement. Banks are considered to be market makers, too. There is nothing wrong in trading with market makers.
IQOption uses Thompson Reuters price quotes, it is very unlikely to experience a price manipulation because this will lead to deregulation.
Two days ago, they just upgraded the platform that led to various problems which were solved in time for me.
They do not have practice to suspend the access to their website, it is against the business logic
It went offline last night for several hours and came back online at midnight. It might just be to do with bugs with new software but you would think they would notify you by email
That is because Th. Reuters's quotes are 6-digit and it is the only liquidity provider. If there was a problem with the quotes, their clearing house would protest and press charges for price manipulation as it is a party that also faces a risk from such action. However, we cannot be sure! Even though it is regulated broker, it is a binary broker!!!Tried that with IQoption and ive seen it do some weird extra spikes that don't exist on the other 3 graphs from the other brokers so im a bit wary
If you want to make a few hundred quid binary options can be great but if you want to make thousands or 100's of thousands I think the only way to do it is with leveraged brokers
