FXTM Trading Accounts

The minimum deposit on this account is also 500 USD and leverage is set at a maximum of 2000:1.
Advantage Plus Account: The first of two market execution accounts at FXTM, this account is commission-free but spreads start at 1.50 pips on the EUR/USD, which is wider than most other brokers. The minimum deposit on this account is 500 USD and floating leverage is up to 2000:1.
Demo Account: FXTM offers demo accounts for MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and the FXTM Trader App. Demo accounts are especially important for beginners as they allow them to practice their strategies and get comfortable with the trading platform without risking real money.

FXTM Trading Instruments
- Forex: Trade more than 60 currency pairs, including Majors, Minors and Exotics. The maximum leverage on currency pairs is 2000:1. Currency pairs are split into three categories. Major currency pairs are the most traded pairs in the forex industry. They usually include the US dollar as one half of the pair, like the EUR/USD and the USD/JPY. Other commonly traded major pairs include EUR/JPY and the EUR/GBP.
- Metals: Within the metals market, you can trade 4 specific precious metals. These consist of Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium. Because of their scarcity and utility in various industries (fashion, art, technology, etc), these are high-demand resources, and strong hedges against market volatility.
- Stocks: Trading stocks with FXTM offers you free access to real time price data on US stocks. You can also trade fractional shares, for example 0.3 of one Apple share, which then turns into a CFD. Stock trading is available on our most popular account type, Advantage and also on Advantage Plus.
- Stock CFDs: FXTM offers 172 stock CFDs to trade, a smaller range than is offered by other similar brokers. Stock CFDs are a type of asset that allow you to trade the price movements of stocks, but you don’t actually own any shares in that company at all. Another advantage is that you can trade with the expectation that a stock’s price will actually fall in value – not just rise. You can’t do this with normal stock trading.
- Commodities: FXTM offers three of the most common spot commodities to trade, including UK Brent, US Crude, and US Natural Gas. Maximum leverage is up to 200:1.
- Indices: An index measures the collective price performance of a group of Shares, usually from a particular country. Indices are often used to track and compare the performance of stock markets. Some of the major indices consist of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 3000.
- Cryptocurrencies: Find opportunities in the world’s most volatile markets. Trade bitcoin, ether, ripple and more. Go long or short on bitcoin, ether, ripple and more, with up to 1:100 leverage.
- Trade CFDs: One of the key advantages of CFD trading is that you only need to deposit a small percentage of the total trade value. FXTM CFD traders only require a margin starting from 3 percent. FXTM’s margin calculator is a useful tool to help you to manage your margin on the FXTM Standard account.
