5) Using the Demo account (practice first!)

Before risking real funds, practice in Demo. This is where you’ll learn how to use IQ Option app features without fear of loss.

• Choose a simple strategy (e.g., trend + pullback).
• Set a small, fixed risk per trade in your plan (e.g., 1–2% if it were real money).
• Journal every trade: entry, exit, reason, screenshot, emotions, lesson.

Goal: Achieve consistency (e.g., profitable weeks over 6–8 weeks) before going live.

• Asset selector: pick currency pairs or other instruments (depends on region).
• Order panel: amount, direction (buy/sell), stop-loss, take-profit.

7) Place your first trade — step-by-step

1. From Demo, select an asset (e.g., EUR/USD).
2. Analyze the chart: identify trend, key support/resistance.
3. Choose position size (keep it small!), set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit.
4. Tap Buy or Sell based on your plan.
5. Monitor trade; avoid moving your stop unless your plan allows trailing.
6. Close manually or let TP/SL execute.

Pro Tip: Use a fixed risk-reward ratio (e.g., risk 1 to target 2). Log the trade in your journal.

9) Deposit & withdrawal overview

• Deposit: Cards, e-wallets (e.g., Skrill/Neteller), bank transfer — availability varies by region.
• Withdrawal: Usually via the same method you used to deposit; complete KYC first.
• Fees & timing: Check app’s payment section; allow business days for bank transfers.
• Security: Enable 2FA; do not share OTP; beware of phishing links.

10) Risk management for beginners

• Risk per trade: 1–2% of account balance.
• Always use stop-loss.
• Prefer risk-reward ≥ 1:2.
• Avoid over-trading; follow a daily trade limit.
• Keep a trading journal; review weekly.

Good risk management is the difference between survival and blow-up. Learn it before live trading.
