The five groups

Read a group in full before you compare

Each group has its own page setting out what it is for, the trade-off it carries and every condition on its column of the schedule. Cost per lot falls as the entry deposit rises, and so does leverage — from 1:1000 on Basic to 1:100 on Elite — while the stop out tightens from 30% to 80%. The cheaper groups to trade give you less room, not more.

Basic

The lowest entry in the range at USD 50, with the most leverage and the widest pricing.

    View the Basic group

    Standard

    The core account: a 2.0 pip markup with the same 1:1000 ceiling and 30% stop out as Basic.

      View the Standard group

      Pro

      The last group with no commission on FX and gold, at a 1.3 pip markup.

        View the Pro group

        ECN

        Raw pricing with no markup, at USD 8 a lot — and the point where gold gets cheap.

          View the ECN group

          Elite

          The cheapest lot in the range at USD 5 — and the tightest risk settings.

            Please note

            A round turn is one completed trade, opened and closed, per 1.00 standard lot. An FX lot is 100,000 base units and a gold lot is 100 troy ounces. The markups quoted cover the seven major FX pairs and XAUUSD; other instruments are subject to separate schedules. Indices, crypto and shares are not swap free on any group and carry their own commission. Maximum leverage is an account ceiling, not a per instrument figure — instrument level leverage, margin, swaps and trading hours can differ and are shown in the platform. BARS 8 may change or withdraw a group in accordance with the Client Agreement and applicable law.
