Standard account
These include: 3 Standard A, Standard B and Standard C. On Standard accounts there is no commission and minimum trading volume of 0.01 lot. But the difference will be from 1.3 pips, just like most with Standard accounts in other brokers.
Pro account
Spreads from 0.1 pips or more and a commission of 7 USD / lot for both turns. The advantage on Pro accounts is that Indices traders do not have swap fees. Swap rates are still available on Stock CFDs and ETFs but at a relatively low cost. For Forex pairs there is a swap fee as usual.
However, Pro account has the minimum trade volume from 0.1 lots. Therefore, it is very difficult for those who want to experience on Pro accounts that need a minimum capital of 50-100 USD and use 1: 500 leverage which is the highest of the XTB broker.
