Trading Account Types
Each type of account offered by InstaForex represents a universal trading tool that helps working on international financial markets. Regardless of the chosen account type, you will have access to every trading symbol available, when working with InstaForex.
To achieve a successful trading strategy for each trader, two account types were developed by the InstaForex Dealer Department specialists. Trading accounts types differ by their method of accounting spreads and commissions, which are picked by the trader, when opening an account.
Insta.Standard Trading Accounts
These types of accounts are relevant for standard trading terms on the Forex market, and work without a fee. Once the trader accesses all trading tools, he pays a fixed spread, when settling each deal.
Insta.Standard accounts work for all types of traders and allows a deal to be settled with a classical spread and no fee. The main advantage of this type of account is its universality. Since a trader can, at any moment, change trading leverage and work with any deposit rate with which he/she is comfortable. The capabilities of the account allow trading with Micro Forex (minimum deposit 1-10 USD), Mini Forex (minimum deposit 100 USD), and Standard Forex (minimum deposit 1000 USD).
Insta.Eurica Trading Accounts
Conditions for accounts of this type require no spread to be paid when opening a deal. For most of the Insta.Eurica account currency instruments zero spreads are operated, due to this the cost of a BID always equals the cost of an ASK. Pay attention that offered price differs from the BID price (which a chat in the trading terminal is constructed at) by half of the spread size rounded up/down to the integral value because of the trading platform MetaTrader 4.00 technical peculiarities. To open a deal, a trader pays a fixed fee, which equals to 0.03 - 0.07% of the deal volume.
This account type is recommended for newbies, because it is not necessary to take into consideration spread in case of the deferred orders usage: deferred order is executed exactly when a price reaches its value in case of zero spread. Before GTC orders placing and market entrance there is no necessity to calculate spread influence on the position result, this makes technical analysis usage highly effective.
Despite the fact that Insta.Eurica accounts allow newbies get the hang of the market, using more simple system of the deals processing, this account type can be used by the professional traders as well because its trading characteristics are the same as in Insta.Standard account type.
Minimal deal size
Lmitation on the size of the minimal deal is established in the volume of 1 lot (1 USD for a pip) for accounts of Standard and Eurica types with balance more than 100 000 US Dollars or its equivalent in other currency. For accounts with the balance more than 5 000 US Dollars or its equivalent in other currency; an introduction of the limitation on the size of the minimal deal in the volume of 0,1 lot (0,10 USD for a pip) is possible at the company's discretion.
