How to read it

  • The minimum deposit is a floor. It is the least the app accepts, not an amount to plan around.
  • Set the smallest trade against the deposit. At Rs 300 a trade, Rs 3,000 covers ten trades.
  • Demo money is for practice. It cannot be withdrawn.
  • Amounts stay in the app's currency. Binomo states rupees, the others state dollars. We do not convert.

The SECP column

None of the 19 apps we searched is in the SECP lists of licensed securities and futures brokers, so every row reads the same: Not listed in the SECP register. Quotex is also named in an SECP public notice, 9 Apr 2025.

In December 2025 SECP said trading should go only through SECP-licensed securities and futures brokers, whose lists are on the SECP, PSX and PMEX sites. See the SECP broker list.
