Accounts

The choice of accounts at Iron FX goes way beyond those offered by most other Forex brokers.

There are three standard accounts. The Micro account starts with minimum deposit $100 and is available in 10 base currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, JPY, CHF, PLN, RUB, CZK and HUF. Traders can trade micro lots, choose a fixed or variable spread and a dedicated account manager is assigned to them 24/5. Leverage is flexible starting from 1:1 up to 1:500.

The Premium account requires a minimum deposit of $2,500 and in addition to the benefits mentioned above, traders can access the dealing department hotline to make a transaction.

A minimum deposit of $20,000 will open a VIP account. The main difference between this account and the other standard accounts is that this can only be opened in US dollars. 

There are two STP/ECN accounts which allow traders indirect access to deep liquidity and interbank pricing provided by top-tier liquidity providers, spreads starting from as low as 0 pips and flexible leverage from 1:1 up to 1:200. Traders can choose between STP No Commission and STP Zero Spread account.

IronFX was the first to offer the cutting-edge micro STP/ECN trading which allows trading from 0.01 lots and is available up to $50,000 accounts.

The Zero-Fixed Spread Account offers the best-of-market spreads and immediate access to trade through 12 market-leading trading platforms.

Business accounts include corporate, institutional and trust accounts.

There is an account comparison table as well as a comparison spread table, both very clear and informative.  

A demo account is available and there is a video tutorial that explains how the demo works.
