Pocket Option is considered a beginner-friendly trading platform, providing access to over 100 CFD instruments. Though not in an extensive range, 12 currency pairs, 10 cryptocurrencies, and stock indices are enough for focused and efficient trading. Particularly, forex trading starts at $10, perfectly fit for beginners' trading styles. Besides, Pocket Option provides a free demo account with virtual funds of $50,000 to give users risk-free practice. Though Pocket Option introduces commission-free option trading, they are less competitive in trading costs for other instruments.
OlympTrade is a relatively young online broker registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a shady spot with a booming of unlicensed entities. Tradable assets on the OlymTrade are not extensive, and this broker does not tell many essential trading conditions. As for trading platforms, I found trades can only operated on a simple web-based trading platform, no Metatrader platform at all.
