About us
Faro Bursátil is an independent editorial publication about online brokers, written for readers in Ecuador. We are not IQ Option or any other platform: we analyse how they work, what they offer and what is worth checking before you deposit money.
What we do
This site brings together a long review of IQ Option for the Ecuadorian market and thirty thematic guides that expand on it: access and registration, deposits and withdrawals through local banks, identity verification, available products, taxes, support and alternatives. Each guide answers a specific question that users in Ecuador raise when they evaluate the platform.
How we evaluate a platform
We work with an evaluation framework, not with field tests. We do not open accounts in order to publish our own results and we do not present measured returns: what you will find here is an analysis of the conditions published by the broker, of the applicable regulatory framework and of the pattern of experiences users report in app stores and public forums.
- Regulatory status. Which licence the platform declares, which body it answers to and what that means for someone trading from Ecuador.
- The flow of money. Deposit and withdrawal methods, prior requirements, stated timelines and the costs a bank or payment provider may add.
- Verification and security. Which documents are requested, why they are requested and how account access is protected.
- Product and risk. Which instruments are offered and what a user can lose with them.
- Service. Support channels, the language of assistance and the quality of replies users report.
Figures and verification
Commercial conditions change without notice. When a figure is volatile — minimum deposit, fees, timelines, promotions — we present it as an approximate band, state the review date and ask you to confirm it on the broker's official page before trading. If you spot an out-of-date figure, write to us and we will correct it.

Risk warning
Trading digital options, currencies and CFDs carries a high risk: you can lose the capital you deposit. Nothing published here is investment advice, a personalised recommendation or a promise of returns. Only deposit money you can afford to lose.
