Yes. CFDs let you go both long and short. If you expect a stock's price to fall — for example, ahead of a weak earnings report — you open a short position and profit if the price drops. There is no need to borrow shares or open a margin account. Short selling on IQ Option works identically to going long, just in the opposite direction.

US stock CFDs - Apple, Tesla, SpaceX, NVIDIA and others - are available Monday to Friday, 16:30–23:00 UTC+3, following NYSE and NASDAQ hours. Outside regular hours, selected stocks are available as OTC instruments. Full trading hours for each stock are listed on the asset's specification page.

Perpetual Futures are IQ Option's instrument for trading the implied valuation of private companies before they go public. OpenAI, and Anthropic are available as Perpetual Futures with leverage up to ×20 and spreads from 0.33. They trade like standard stock CFDs: go long if you expect the valuation to rise, short if you expect it to fall.

Positions held past the session close incur a swap charge — a daily funding cost applied automatically. The rate varies by stock and direction (long or short).
