FAQ
No, you must meet the minimum deposit requirement to open a live trading account. The Prime Account requires a minimum of $100, while the Zero Account requires $2,500. If you’re unable to meet these requirements, consider starting with a demo account to practice trading risk-free.
For Prime Accounts, there is no minimum balance requirement after the initial deposit. For Zero Accounts, if your balance falls below $2,500, you may receive a margin call or your account may be downgraded to a Prime Account. Always maintain sufficient funds to cover your open positions and potential losses.
Once you’ve made a deposit and your account is activated, changing the base currency is not possible. If you need to trade in a different currency, consider opening an additional account with the desired base currency. Contact customer support for assistance with this process.
