There are many factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding on the trading broker. Accessibility is one of them. The platform should be available not only from the web browser but also specially dedicated apps.
IQ Option can boast of having both, the smartphone and desktop computer apps. And today we will discuss the latter.
IQ Option desktop computer app
The desktop computer app is designed to be compatible with the most commonly used operating systems that are Windows and MacOS. It runs independently from the main website so it is lightweight. This ensures the trade operations are executed fast.
The desktop computer app is also safe to use. Moreover, it is synchronised with your IQ Option account if you happened to open one before installing the app. What it means is that you will be able to view all your transactions on the app.
How to download the IQ Option app on a desktop computer?
To download the desktop app you must go to the IQ Option website first. Choose “For Traders” tab and then you will see the “Download App” section.
