Read the cost before you trade.
Prices are aggregated from several liquidity providers and passed straight through to MetaTrader 5 on a non-dealing-desk basis: no dealing desk sits between your order and the market, and we do not requote. On Basic and Standard accounts every cost sits inside the spread. On Platinum and Premium the spread is raw and a fixed commission is charged per lot, which is usually cheaper for active traders. Compare the accounts.
You can see the live spread on any instrument in the platform before you trade, and the swap in the symbol specification. We would rather you read the cost first than find it later. See spreads and costs.
Leverage magnifies outcomes in both directions. A 1:500 account does not mean you should use 1:500. Leverage and margin, explained.
Trade with clear eyes.
Trading is not a shortcut. It carries real risk, and most people underestimate that until it costs them. These guides are written plainly, without marketing language, for people who would rather know now than later.
