Standard Cent
Standard Cent accounts are suited to newer traders and traders looking to test new trading strategies, as they offer the smallest trading volumes. Standard Cent is also the only trading account that uses cent lots, which is explained in detail below.
Top features of the Standard Cent account
- The only account type using cent lots.
- Stable spreads, reliable execution, and no trading commission.
- Orders will be executed with market execution (no requotes).
- Up to 37 trading instruments available to trade on.
What are cent lots?
Standard Cent is a unique account type that measures trading volume as cent lots (1 cent lot = 100,000 cents or 1,000 USD), unlike other Standard and Professional accounts which measure trading volumes as lots (1 lot = 100,000 units of the base currency). A minimum trading volume of 0.01 cent lots (1,000 cents or 10 USD) makes Standard Cent accounts ideal for practicing trading with or putting trading strategies to the test with less risk.
Standard Cent balance is reflected as cents, or any other available cent currency; so if you deposit 5 USD, the account balance will appear as 500 USC (500 cents), not 5 USD.
