Both the Standard Account and the Elite Account offer the same core features, including the number of tradable instruments and up to 1,000x leverage. However, they differ in trading fees, spreads, and other cost-related specifications.
Here are the features of the Standard Account.
Trading Fees: None
Major Spreads: 1.2 – 2.0 pips
Execution Type: STP + OTC
Execution Quality: High
Platform: MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
The Standard Account uses a spread-only pricing model, where trading fees are included in the spread. This account is ideal for traders whose strategies are less affected by spread fluctuations and those who prefer simplified cost management without having to calculate fees per trade.
Please see below for the features of the Elite Account.
Trading Fees: $3 per side / per lot*1
Major Spreads: 0.0 – 0.8 pips
Execution Type: STP + OTC
Execution Quality: High
Platform: MetaTrader 4 (MT4) / MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
The Elite Account uses a raw spread + external commission model, meaning even with the added trading fees, the overall trading cost is often lower than the Standard Account.
