CFDs use leverage. You can lose money quickly, and you can lose all of the money you deposit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
How Pro pricing compares
Pro is priced like Standard: there is no commission, and what you pay is the spread. The difference is the level. Spreads on Pro start at 0.7 pips, against 1.2 pips on Standard, and the minimum first deposit is $5,000 instead of $100.
At the lowest quoted spreads, Pro costs more per lot than ECN. On one standard lot of EUR/USD, a 0.7-pip spread costs $7. On ECN the $5 commission plus a spread from 0.0 pips costs from $5. Pro needs $5,000 rather than $10,000, and gives you one price per trade instead of a spread and a commission to add up.
Positions you keep open overnight pay or earn swap. On trades held for days, swap can cost more than the spread. The swap rate for each instrument is in its MT5 symbol specification.
Pro allows leverage up to 1:500, as ECN does. At 1:500, $1,000 of margin holds a $500,000 position. A 0.2% move against you loses $1,000, which is all of that margin.

Questions about the Pro account
What's the difference between Pro and ECN?+
ECN has spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission of $5 per standard lot, round turn. Pro has spreads from 0.7 pips and no commission. For example, on one 0.5-lot EUR/USD trade at the lowest quoted spreads, ECN costs $2.50 in commission and Pro costs $3.50 in spread. At those spreads ECN costs less per lot. Pro needs a smaller first deposit ($5,000 against $10,000) and gives one all-in price.
What is the minimum deposit for the Pro account?+
$5,000. ECN needs $10,000, and Standard and Cent need $100.
Are there any other fees on the Pro account?+
There is no commission. You pay the spread, and positions held past the daily rollover pay or earn swap. The spread and swap for each instrument are in its MT5 symbol specification. We do not charge withdrawal fees.
Can I upgrade from Pro to ECN later?+
Yes. You can open an ECN account under the same client profile and keep the Pro account. The ECN account needs a deposit of at least $10,000.
Is leverage the same on Pro as on ECN?+
Yes. The maximum is 1:500 on both. The margin needed for each instrument is shown in MT5. Higher leverage means a smaller move against you can use up your margin.
What platforms come with the Pro account?+
MetaTrader 5 on Windows and macOS desktops, in a web browser, and on iOS and Android. You can trade with one click, run Expert Advisors and custom indicators, and backtest in the strategy tester. Your positions and history are the same on every device.
