Two methods to access IQ Option platform settings
Appearance
You will then see a list of what you can modify. On top of the list, there is the appearance. Here you can set your time zone, the language of the interface, choose one of the available themes and interface scales.
Appearance settings on the IQ Option platform
Here you can also change which items from your menu and how they are displayed. When you scroll down you can adjust almost any visible element of the platform. You are able to turn on candle information on hover (OHLC) or hide account balance. At the bottom, you will find the advanced settings where it is possible to reduce the FPS (frames per second). Doing that you allow running IQ Option platform on older hardware.
Trading
Below the appearance, you will find the “Trading” tab. Here you have the possibility to enable the trade completion for both, binary and digital options. Then you can select for which assets you want to open and close the positions without confirmation and whether you wish the same settings to apply for your demo account. You can also choose how your opened transactions data are displayed on the asset tab.

In the last tab, you can customise what kind of information will be visible to the public. You can use your own name or create a new one. You choose if you want to show your assets and trades to the others.

I encourage you to use the possibility of adjusting the platform settings on IQ Option. It will not only facilitate your trading but also make it more enjoyable. Choose whatever suits you best.
