How to Verify Trades on IQ Option
Follow these steps to verify your trades on IQ Option:
Step 1: Log into Your IQ Option Account
Start by logging into your IQ Option account. Ensure you’re using your registered email address and password.
Step 2: Access Your Trade History
Once logged in, navigate to the “Trading History” section. Here, you’ll find your closed positions clearly listed.
Feel free to filter your trades by instrument or view them all in historical order.
If you need to access your active trades, either go to the “Total Portfolio” section or click “Show Positions” in the bottom right corner of the traderoom.
Step 3: Select the Trade You Want to Verify
When you click on a closed deal, the following detailed information will be displayed:
- Asset name and type
- Trade direction (Buy/Sell)
- Quantity and leverage
- Net profit/loss and result in pips
- Open and close price
- Date and exact timestamps of trade opening and closing
- Trade closure method (manual or automatic)
- Gross profit/loss
- Position ID for further verification if needed
Step 4: Confirm Trade Details
Carefully check the following key points to verify:
- Execution price: Matches your expected entry/exit price.
- Timing: Confirm the trade opened and closed at the intended times.
- Profit/Loss calculation: Double-check accuracy to avoid discrepancies.
If something seems off — for example, your trade closed too early or the price differs significantly from what you saw on the chart—it’s a signal to dig deeper. Sudden slippage, execution delays, or misaligned timestamps can point to technical issues or incorrect trade setup. In such cases, verifying the details helps you identify what happened and, if necessary, escalate the issue to support.
Additional Verification: Trade Confirmations via Email
IQ Option also sends automatic trade confirmations to your registered email, providing an extra layer of verification.
- Check your inbox for trade confirmation emails immediately after closing a trade.
- Compare details from your email confirmation with those shown in the platform.

- Select the appropriate tab: Active, Pending, or Closed.
- Tap on the asset you’re interested in to view detailed information, including:
- Open and close prices

Historical Quotes: What Are They And Why Verify Them?
Historical quotes show the prices of currency pairs and other financial instruments at different points in the past.
They allow traders to review past market conditions, verify the prices at which trades were executed, and provide information for testing new strategies or applying technical analysis.
How to Verify Historical Quotes for Options
Historical quotes are crucial, especially for options traders, as they reflect past asset prices and help validate your trades.
Please note that the tick-by-tick quotes displayed in this section are relevant only for option contracts, so this section contains only information about trades executed on this trading instrument.
What’s Tick-By-Tick quotes?
These quotes ensure your trading experience is fast and precise by showing each individual price movement or “tick.” A single candle on a chart may contain thousands of ticks, making it challenging to see each individual tick. The detailed tick history can always be reviewed in the Quotes History.
Tick-by-tick quotes are only available for the past 7 days. If you would like to receive data for a longer period, please contact Support.
Step 1: Navigate to IQ Option’s Historical Quotes Page
You can access quotes when clicking on the specific asset in the Trading History tab. Alternatively, visit the IQ Option Historical Quotes page.
Step 2: Choose the Asset and Date
- Select the asset involved in your trade (EUR/USD in the example below).
- Enter the date and exact time of your trade.
Note that the quotes for the last 30 minutes are not displayed.
Step 3: Verify the Historical Price
Go back to the ‘Trading History’ section and click on your asset to confirm the historical quote matches your trade’s opening and closing prices. This ensures your trade is executed at accurate market prices.
