IQ Option Bot: signals with expiries, across IQ Option's whole asset list
IQ Option has the deepest asset list of any broker we support, which is both its strength and the reason people overtrade on it. The bot narrows the field: one pair, one direction, one timer at a time.

What the IQ Option bot actually is
IQ Option genuinely does publish an API, which is why the internet is full of half-finished Python 'robots' built on it. Most of them are abandoned repositories that break the moment the endpoint changes, and running one means storing your credentials in a script.
TradeFather sidesteps all of that. It is an analysis layer, not an execution layer: the engine produces the call, you place it in the platform you already trust.
Because IQ Option's minimum deposit is the lowest of the six brokers we support, it is usually the cheapest route to the Master engine for someone starting out.
How to use it, step by step
- 1Narrow the asset list
Pick one market and stay with it for the session instead of hopping between eighty.
- 2Run the engine
Direction plus confidence plus expiry, every time.
- 3Set the expiry manually
IQ Option's default expiry snaps to the next round minute — override it to match the call.
- 4Track results per asset
The journal will show you within a fortnight which two or three assets are actually paying you.
Which IQ Option assets it covers
Major FX pairs
Best during London and New York hours. Outside those windows spreads widen and short expiries suffer.
Crypto
24/7 and volatile. Longer expiries only — a 15-second bitcoin call is noise.
Commodities and stocks
Gold and oil trend more cleanly than FX at times; single stocks are gap-prone around earnings, so avoid them near results dates.

What accuracy to expect
Basic is a free 52–62% confidence demo engine.
Master runs 85–97% confidence on its filtered calls, and is the tier most IQ Option users settle on.
With this many assets available, discipline matters more than engine choice: five considered trades a day beats forty impulsive ones at any accuracy level.

Four ways IQ Option traders lose money with signals
Trading single stocks around earnings
A gap wipes out any technical read.
Chasing every asset
Depth is a trap. Specialise.
Using multipliers you don't understand
IQ Option's non-binary products behave differently; the bot's calls are built for fixed-time trades.
Skipping the risk analyzer
A $10 account and a $5 stake is two losses from over.
IQ Option bot questions, answered
+Is there a free IQ Option bot?
Yes. The Basic engine needs no deposit at all; the stronger engines unlock at deposit milestones on your own broker balance.
+Does IQ Option allow bots?
IQ Option publishes an API and does not forbid analysis tools. TradeFather does not execute anything on your behalf — you place every trade yourself.
+Does the bot need my IQ Option password?
Never. It only needs your public Trader ID for verification.
+What is the minimum deposit?
$10, the lowest of the brokers we support.
+Which expiry should I use?
Keep the chart on the 1-minute candle and use the expiry the engine gives you.
+Is access monthly?
No. Verification is one-off and access is lifetime.
