The Standard account is a MetaTrader trading account designed for clients who prefer spread-based pricing without a separate commission on most CFD trades.
Standard accounts are available on supported MetaTrader platforms, including:
- MetaTrader 4 (MT4); and
- MetaTrader 5 (MT5).
Trading costs are generally included in the spread.
Compared with a ThinkZero account, Standard account spreads are usually wider, while ThinkZero offers raw or tighter spreads with commission applied to selected instruments.
Product availability, spreads and trading conditions may vary depending on your region.
Please note that a Standard account is separate from a ThinkTrader account. ThinkTrader uses its own account type and cannot be used interchangeably with an MT4 or MT5 Standard account.
For the latest Standard account pricing and trading conditions, refer to the ThinkMarkets Account Types page or Contract Specifications.
