The minimum trade on every account is 0.01 lots. On the Cent account one lot is 1,000 units, so 0.01 lots is just 10 units. The $5 minimum only applies with selected payment providers; each provider’s own minimum applies (for example $50 by bank wire). The page doesn’t say whether the commissions are per side or round turn.

Bonus eligibility
The 50% credit bonus is credited to an “MT4/MT5 Bonus account” you choose when opening the account. The bonus page sets conversion rates for Standard ($2 per lot), Raw Spread and Premium ($1 per lot). It doesn’t list the Dynamic Leverage or Cent account, so choose Standard, Raw Spread or Premium if you want the bonus.
Which one to pick
- Small budget, no commission: Standard. $5 entry, 1000:1, the lowest no-commission spread of the five.
- Very high leverage on small positions: Dynamic Leverage, if you trade 1 lot or less on FX majors. Read the leverage tiers first.
- Learning with tiny sizes: Cent, where 0.01 lots is 10 units.
- Active traders paying commission: Raw Spread from $500. Premium cuts the commission to $5 but needs $10,000.
