The Expert Account sits between the retail Standard account and the professional Pro ECN account. It is built for traders who have outgrown a beginner setup but don't yet need full raw-pricing professional conditions.
What is the Expert Account?
Expert is a live trading account with conditions tuned for traders who are past the learning phase: tighter spreads than Standard, a familiar cost model, and access to the same execution quality as the rest of the brokerage.
It is a deliberate middle tier — a step up that does not require you to switch pricing model, learn commission accounting, or commit Pro ECN or VIP-level capital before you are ready.
Expert account features
What you actually get:
- Tighter spreads than Standard — An improved spread schedule across majors and metals — meaningfully cheaper per trade than a regular Standard account.
- Same simple cost model — Trading cost stays inside the spread. No separate commission line to track, no per-lot math.
- MT5 and cTrader — Use either platform with the same conditions on both.
- Leverage up to 1:500 — Full professional leverage tier — flexibility to run real position sizes without forcing oversized deposits.
- Negative-balance protection — Your account cannot go below zero in any market scenario.
Who is this account for?
This account fits traders who are consistent and active but not yet ready for raw-spread professional accounts. If you are running a profitable retail strategy and the spread bill on a Standard account is becoming a meaningful drag, this is the right move — without forcing you to switch into a commission model at the same time.
