CFD Trading
Libertex's list of CFDs covers a decent range of tradeable underlying assets, but there isn't much depth with only around 250 in total. Leverage up to 1:30 for retail clients is available in accordance with CySEC regulations, and traders can choose between three excellent trading platforms. Best of all are the tight spreads available on all markets and the zero commissions on investments in stocks.	IQ Option deals primarily in CFDs, which are available on stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies and several other markets. The leverage available is in line with EU restrictions, to a maximum of 1:30 on major forex pairs but with less available on more volatile assets. Trades are commission-free with floating spreads and clients can use the award-winning platform.

Forex Trading
Libertex offers CFD trading on 50+ forex pairs, offering long and short opportunities. Its strength comes in its tight spreads – we were offered 0.2 pips for EUR/USD.	IQ Option offers CFD trading on 24 forex assets, including major pairs and some minors. EU traders can access a maximum of 1:30 leverage in line with local regulations. The broker offers commission-free trades but spreads are on the high side so the brand does not excel in this area.
Forex App
Libertex offers an iOS and Android-compatible mobile app with advanced features and trading tools. Users can make deposits, execute positions and analyze the markets in a few swipes. Traders can also flick between live and demo mode with one tap.	IQ Option provide a superbly easy to use mobile app. Offering forex trading, plus some bespoke trading instruments of their own, IQ deliver a slick, secure platform for shorter term trades. Recent upgrades have synchronised the look and feel of both the Webtrader and mobile platform, making switching between the two, seamless. Try it out via the free demo account.
