Which FOREX.com Trading Account is Best for You?

Standard Account

The Standard Account has access to over 2,700 Canadian and Global CFDs including 80+ currency pairs through any of our trading platforms on web and mobile, or TradingView.

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

Both our Standard Account and RAW Pricing Account are REST API compatible. Deposit as little as $100, though we recommend starting with at least $2,500 to allow you more flexibility and better risk management when trading your account.
