Review	Review
tastytrade is an award-winning brokerage, launched in 2017. The brand specializes in futures, options and stock trading with US and Australian regulatory oversight. The proprietary trading interface, designed by the creators of Thinkorswim, is powerful with plenty of integrated tools to suit active traders.	RaceOption is a binary options broker operating from the Marshall Islands. With over 1,500 clients, the broker aims to offer fast funding, low fees and a secure trading environment. Traders can access over 100 binary options and CFDs, plus copy trading and weekly prizes.
Pros
Transparent pricing model including a $1 commission on stocks and ETF options, with maximum limits per leg for some assets Wide range of asset classes including options, futures, stocks, ETFs and indices with the majority available to trade 24/5 Good choice of account types suitable for various investment goals including IRAs and individual/joint trading accounts Powerful proprietary platform with detailed insights, real-time trading videos, and order adjustment features Excellent regulatory oversight from FINRA, NFA and ASIC with SIPC insurance for US clients	RaceOption makes account funding a breeze with fee-free and near-instant deposits via bank cards and cryptos, plus guaranteed withdrawals processing within 1 hour. Payouts on popular underlying assets like EUR/USD can reach 95%, beating out most alternatives based on our evaluations, and increasing potential returns, while the first 3 trades are risk-free in Silver and Gold accounts. RaceOption is in the less than 1% of brokers that offers video chat, available 24/7 in multiple languages, although the knowledge of agents about trading and regulatory issues needs improvement from our direct experience.
Cons
Less suitable for beginners with no demo account and basic educational resources Narrow range of instruments with no forex trading No credit/debit card payments USD base currency only No 529 plan	RaceOption is an unregulated, high-risk broker that doesn’t provide investor compensation or legal recourse options should you run into trading or withdrawal issues. While still affordable for many retail investors, the $250 minimum deposit raises the entry barrier, especially compared to Deriv and World Forex who are designed for budget traders. RaceOption is one of the only brokers not to offer a demo account, which when considered alongside the absence of education, makes this broker a poor choice for beginners.

	Despite a couple of connection issues during testing, the RaceOption mobile trading solution overwhelmingly delivers. All the settings you need to amend binary parameters are available around the chart and it’s as simple as clicking the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ buttons to confirm a trade. Clicking ‘My Trades’ in the bottom left of the mobile interface also makes monitoring multiple trades a hassle-free exercise.
