Which FOREX.com Trading Account is Best for You?

Standard Account

The Standard Account has access to all 82 available currency pairs along with gold and silver through any of our trading platforms on web and mobile, or TradingView.

When creating a demo or a MetaTrader 4 account, you’ll be using our Standard Account.

Both our Standard Account and Commission Account are REST API compatible. There is no minimum initial deposit required, though we recommend starting with at least $2,500 to allow you more flexibility and better risk management when trading your account.

RAW Pricing Account

The RAW Pricing Account provides access to the same markets as our Standard Account but with tighter spreads, as low as 0.0 on FX major pairs. You’ll then pay a low $7 USD commission per $100k USD traded on your RAW Pricing Account.

You can also get access to our Active Trader program, available for both Standard and RAW Pricing trading accounts that meet requirements, providing up to 15% cash rebates on trades in addition to other benefits.
