Trading Account Types
Each type of
account offered by InstaForex
represents 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 Forex
market, and work without a fee. Once a trader
gets access to all trading tools he pays a fixed
spread when setting a 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, as at any time a trader can change
the trading leverage and work with any deposit
rate convenient for him. 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
The account of this type does not require any
spread to be paid at opening a deal. For most
currency instruments of Insta.Eurica account
type zero spreads are operated, due to this the
BID price is always equal to the ASK price. It
should be noticed that the offered price runs
higher than the BID price (on the basis of which
a chart in the trading terminal is plotted) by
half of the standard spread for a given trading
instrument which is rounded up to its integral
value due to some technical peculiarities of the
MetaTrader 4.00 platform.
This account
type is recommended for newcomers because it is
not necessary to take into consideration the
spread in case of pending orders usage: a
pending order is executed right when the price
reaches its value if the spread equals to 0.
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.
Aside from
the fact that Insta.Eurica accounts allow the
newbies to get the hang of the market using more
simple system of deals processing this account
type can be also used by professional traders,
because its trading characteristics are the same
as at Insta.Standard account type.
Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica trading accounts
Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica account types are
meant for beginning traders and oriented to
those clients who just learn trading and for
this purpose they need an access to the minimal
deal volume as possible. On these accounts Micro
Forex is available with the lot volume 0.0001 of
the market lot (the lot cost is 0,1 US cent)
allows practicing almost without any risks for
deposit. Also this type of accounts will suit
well for those who would like to try trading
strategies with minimal risks using the deal
advantage from 0.0001 lot.
Aside from
availability of the smallest allowed deal volume
- 0.0001 of the market lot, the owners of
Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica accounts have the
same trading terms as Insta.Standard and
Insta.Eurica. The only constraint is maximally
allowed deposit size for cent group accounts of
Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica related to their
directivity to the beginning traders. For more
experienced traders it is recommended to open
accounts of Insta.Standard and Insta.Eurica
types which do not have any size constraints for
maximal deposit and deal size.
Minimal deal size
The size limitation of the minimal deal equals
to 1 lot (1 USD for a pip) for accounts of
Standard and Eurica types with balance more than
100 000 USD or its equivalent in other
currencies.

Accounts without swaps
The Swap-free account services are intended for
traders who use trading systems that do not take
into account the impact of swaps or those
customers who can not use swaps owing to their
religious beliefs. This determines the secondary
name of this type of accounts: "Islamic
accounts." In transition to the swap-free
system, all the remaining trading terms and
conditions of Standard or Eurica-type accounts
remain intact.
When performing deals using the swap-free
account for any currency pair, in transiting the
position over midnight the trader does not gain
or lose any amount, regardless of the position
volume. Even holding on the deal for a long
time, the trader can be sure that only the
conduct of the exchange rate for the set time
interval will affect the result of the deal.
