Before any strategy: the payout maths

A IQ Option trade pays a percentage, but a loss costs the full stake — so a 50/50 win rate loses money. The payout on your pair at that moment sets the win rate you need just to break even, and payouts move between pairs and through the day:

Payout on the pairWin rate just to break even
90%52.7%
85%54.1%
80%55.6%
70%58.9%
50%66.7%

Check the payout before you arm any strategy below — the same signal is a different trade at 80% than at 50%. We test our tools the same way; see the 953-trade backtest where we publish the losing months too.

IQ Option questions, answered straight

Which timeframe should I start with on IQ Option?

Start at 1 minute or higher. Sub-minute charts move too fast to learn from — you cannot tell whether a loss was the strategy or your reaction time. Learn a setup on a demo account first; the faster variants are listed above.

Binary or digital options — which do these guides use?

Both appear here, and each guide says which it was recorded on. What IQ Option offers differs by region and account type, so check what your own account shows before copying a setup — the chart reading is the same either way.

Why do the guides show losing trades?

Because sessions have losing trades. We publish the sessions as they happened — including the losses — so you can judge whether the win rate clears the break-even bar for the payout you are actually being offered.

Do I need MetaTrader to use these?

The entries are placed on IQ Option itself. Many setups — XProfit especially — read their signals from indicators on a MetaTrader 4/5 chart running beside the broker; those indicators are what the $39 lifetime package contains. Guides using only built-in indicators say so.

Is any of this guaranteed to profit?

No. Nothing on this page guarantees a result. Trading involves substantial risk and you can lose your capital. Test on a demo account, size your trades so a losing streak survives, and treat every published win rate as one sample.
