Social Trading account types and conditions

A strategy provider has a choice of account types to base their trading on, which present unique trading conditions that are helpful to remember.

Strategy providers using Social Trading accounts can trade on these instruments:

• Forex
• Metals
• Cryptocurrency

Strategy providers use MetaTrader 4 to trade, so all Social Trading accounts are based in MT4.

Here is what each Social Trading account offers as trading conditions for strategy providers:

Note:

1. The minimum deposit for both Social Standard and Social Pro accounts is USD 500 in a single transaction.
2. For Social Pro accounts, the strategy can only be activated if the strategy provider is able to accumulate an equity of USD 2 000 by either making successive deposits or earning profits from the amount deposited. If the first deposit is less than USD 2 000, a minimum of 2 deposits must be made in order for a strategy to be activated. To learn more about strategy activation (visibility), refer to this article.
3. Energies, indices, and stocks are unavailable to trade on these account types.

Commission Account

Strategy providers are presented with an additional commission account where all earned commission is paid into. This commission account is created automatically, and only one per strategy provider is provided. Strategy providers can check the balance of their commission account in their Personal Area, with earned commission transferring at the end of each trading period.

Strategy providers can use their commission account to trade as a regular trading account and commission held within can be transferred to other trading accounts.
