Too many IQ Option assets? How to choose profitable asset with more than 80% payout

There are dozens of IQ Option assets that you can trade. These assets are available to you in the form of various financial instruments such as binary and digital options, forex and contracts for difference.

With options trading, you get a fixed return. So why not choose to trade the assets that will bring in the highest returns? Choosing an asset is one of the crucial tasks you'll have to undertake if you're to become a successful trader.

Why? You need returns that even if you have incurred losses, a few wins will cover those losses and even possibly leave you with some profit. In this guide, I'll teach you the steps you should take when selecting the financial instrument that will give you the most profit on IQ Option.

How to select IQ Option assets with more than 80% profit?

Go to the IQOption login page. If you are already logged into the platform, click the “+” sign on the top bar. An extensive list of instruments available on IQ Option will then be displayed.

You will find the largest selection of IQ Option assets in binary options. Most of them are popular currency pairs, which are also the most popular asset class. As you can see in the image below most have a payout rate higher than 80%.

You can also choose IQ Option assets available for digital options. There it is often the case that the possible profit from a transaction is higher than 90% of the invested amount. Here, however, we have several currency pairs available. Also note that with digital options, the available expiry times are not as flexible as with binary options.

Start by clicking on asset (+ sign at the top of your interface). Next, select options and then binary. This will produce a list of the available currency pairs you can trade. 1 minute trades provide higher returns. But I recommend you focus on 5 minute plus trades that still offer 80% returns or more.

Things to consider when choosing the right IQ Option assets

Your main objective when trading options is to minimize the losing trades and increase the winning trades. And thus your profitability. However, there are times when losers exceed the winners. If you'd chosen instruments with low percentage returns, it would have meant that your cumulative losses would have been greater than if you'd traded instruments with higher payouts.

Another thing to note is timing. The return percentage on IQ Option binary trades for a particular currency pair varies with time. For example, you might find the EUR/USD pair having a return of 78% during the early trading hours. This might rise to 82% a few hours later.

Beginner traders should stick to a single currency pair on IQ Option

Successful traders are patient. They always wait for the right time to trade a particular asset. This is a skill every beginner trader should develop. The best way to do this is to initially trade one currency pair.

This means you'll have to patiently wait until the return is favorable. It also means you'll need to continuously study the pairs' price movements and behavior. In doing all these, you're increasing your chances of making money trading options.

Trying to trade many instruments simultaneously scatters your concentration. Loss of concentration is one of the easiest ways to lose money as a trader. Trading a single asset at a time on the other hand allows you to fully focus on that market. Remember also that no one can keep track of the charts of all IQ Option assets. It would be even more difficult to trade on all assets. Find your niche, know it and trade effectively.

Trading weekends on IQ Option

Most markets will close over the weekends. Only cryptocurrencies and Over The Counter (OTC) assets are available for trading. These offer lower returns and longer trade sessions. My advice is to avoid trading on weekends completely.

Use these two days to go over your previous week's trading and find out what you did right. What IQ Option assets do you trade on IQ Option and what returns do you aim for. Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Good luck!
