Comment by Reviewer
"Expert Option will suit aspiring traders who want to access the financial markets through an options broker with a very easy-to-learn bespoke platform. The user-friendly day trading platform is clear and reliable."	"Olymptrade remains a good choice for beginners looking for a user-friendly bespoke platform and mobile app, plus 24/7 customer support. The $10 minimum deposit makes it easy to get started, however, the range of additional day trading tools trails competitors."

Cons
There's a very small list of binary assets with just 100 on offer compared to 1000+ offered by some competitors Expert Option isn't available in several countries, including the EU, Australia and the US The SVGFSA is a weak financial regulator with limited safeguarding measures Very expensive $50 dormancy fee after 3 months of no trading activity The broker doesn't offer any popular leveraged products such as CFDs	Weak regulatory oversight and offshore registration means traders will receive limited safeguards compared to top alternatives Only one proprietary platform available, with no access to popular third-party software such as MT4 or cTrader Commissions charged on all assets - up to 15% on standard trades and up to 10% on FTT The best conditions are available only to those who can deposit at least $500 Very limited range of charting tools and indicators on the platform Research and education trails most alternatives Limited transparency on the website

App Review
Expert Option has an unusual mobile trading offering in that it balances education with trading, potentially serving new traders. However, our tests reveal very basic quizzes and learning materials that barely scratch the surface of binaries. The ‘Tap Game’ is also gimmicky and does little to serve serious traders.

Forex Trading
Expert Option traders can access some of the most popular forex pairs including USD/EUR, GBP/USD and GBP/EUR using binary options contracts that payout up to 95%, well above the industry average of around 85%.	Olymp Trade offers the industry average of around 30 currency pairs. Spreads came in at 1.1 pips for EUR/USD during tests, which is not the most competitive compared to leading brands like AvaTrade (0.9 pips). That said, experienced traders can access multipliers up to x500 on major pairs.

Cryptocurrency
Traders can speculate on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) price movements using high/low binary options on a proprietary platform. These are three of the most popular cryptocurrencies on the market, but the offering lacks the variety and volatility offered by less popular tokens.	Olymp Trade offers a handful of leading cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Basic Altcoin Index is also a great addition, offering broader exposure to the currency market for those that don't want to put all their money in one crypto.
