What account type do I choose?
The first trading account will be opened automatically when a client registers a Members Area.
Before using a real account, you can test your skills on a demo account to acquire experience necessary for trading. This will help you learn the basic instruments and terminal, and test trading strategies without the risk of loosing any funds because all trading operations are performed with virtual funds. When trading through the MT4 and MT5 platforms, you have the option to choose from Demo ECN or Demo Pro. Another option for beginners is an additional real ProCent account. Accounts of this type can be opened in the MT4 and MT5 platforms.
Demo ECN
Demo ECN is used for testing trading strategies by experienced traders.
Demo Pro
Demo Pro is a special version intended for traders with experience less than
ProCent
ProCent offers the opportunity to embark on real trading without investing much money. To start trading, you are required to make the minimum deposit of 100 USD. The monetary unit of Cent accounts is a cent (0.01 USD). It allows traders to perform trading operations with small amounts of money.
What currency do I choose for opening a trading account?
It’s better to start trading on an account with one of the most popular currencies. After gaining trading experience, you can choose the currency base account of your preference.
USD
The American Dollar is the most wide-spread and popular base currency for trading accounts. Most educational courses and tutorials are intended for the USD-based trading accounts.
EUR
Having an account in EUR is very convenient for European Union residents. You can always deposit funds and withdraw them without any additional conversions. However, this currency is less common than the USD.
What is the leverage?
The leverage allows you to trade with borrowed funds. The leverage value reflects the ratio between your own money and borrowed funds. For example, the leverage value 1:5 increases the capital available for investing by 5 times.
When operating on Demo accounts, you can choose the leverage value up to 1:30 and assess all opportunities offered by borrowed funds. As for real accounts, it is not recommended for beginners to use a leverage value higher than 1:10.
