EBC has two real-money account types: Standard (spreads from 1.1 pips, no commission) and Professional (from 0.0 pips, $6 per lot). Both allow up to 500:1, trade 0.01–40 lots, stop out at 30% and allow hedging and EAs. EBC doesn't publish a minimum deposit per account, and has no bonus, so bonus eligibility doesn't separate them.

Which one for which trader
| You are… | Pick |
|---|---|
| New or trading occasionally | Standard |
| Scalping or trading high volume | Professional |
