Account types

Three accounts. One real difference.

What chiefly separates Classic, Premium and ECN is how you pay for trading: through the spread alone, or through a raw spread with a commission shown as its own line.

Suits: those starting out

Commission-free pricing: the cost of dealing is carried in the spread, and overnight swap applies. A sensible first account.

The cost of dealing is built into the spread. There is no separate commission line, so what you see between bid and ask is what you pay to open and close. A position held overnight is also charged or credited swap; the rates are not yet published.

The simplest account to reason about, and the lowest minimum deposit. The spread is the widest of the three.

Minimum deposit: $150
Spread from: 2.5 pips
Commission: None
Overnight swap: Applies
Leverage: Up to 1:500

Worked example · not a quote

The cost of one round trip (opening and closing) in one standard lot of EUR/USD, closed the same day, at each account’s minimum spread.

1 pip on 1 lot of EUR/USD = $10

Classic

2.5 pips × $10 = $25.00 spread, no commission

$25.00

Premium

1.5 pips × $10 = $15.00 spread, no commission

$15.00

ECN

0.2 pips × $10 = $2.00 spread + $7.00 commission

$9.00

Spread Commission

Arithmetic on the published “from” figures: spread in pips × $10 per pip, plus commission. Spreads are minimums and widen with market conditions, so a real trade will usually cost more than this. The published ECN commission is $3.50 per lot, per side: it is charged once on opening and once on closing, so the example counts it twice for the round trip. Provisional: set on 4 October 2026 in line with common practice among brokers, and subject to change. The trade is closed the same day, so no overnight swap arises. Held overnight, a Classic or Premium position is also charged or credited swap, and the swap rates are not published: these totals would then be incomplete, not final.

IndicativeSource: GIO4X published account conditionsSpreads are minimums and widen with market conditions. The leverage available to you depends on the instrument and your jurisdiction, and higher leverage increases risk as much as exposure.

Risk warning

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
