Compare all 3 types of TPTrades accounts
Before depositing funds, I recommend reading this table to the end. Choosing the wrong account type causes extra costs from spreads that accumulate by year-end, even when trading conditions are identical.
Short version for those in a hurry: Beginners start with Cent ($5) to practice → General users use Standard → For large lot volumes per trade, move to ECN, paying commission per lot in exchange for raw spreads.
The real differences lie in just three areas
Maximum Leverage is 1:800 for the Standard account, while Cent and ECN accounts are at 1:500.
Cent — A practice room using real money
The balance is displayed in cents, turning $5 into a training capital of 500 cent-dollars. Chart prices, spread values, and the feeling when a trade is floating are all real—unlike demo accounts where users remain overly calm because they know the money is fake. This is highly suitable for new EA strategies that have not yet been run with real money.
Standard — The default option with nothing extra
Starting capital of $20, spread of 2.5 pips, no commission, and no strategy restrictions. If you trade only a few trades per week, there is no reason to choose anything else. Its highlight is simplicity, consolidating all costs into a single spread figure.
ECN — For volumes where spreads matter more than per-lot fees
Ultra-tight spreads starting at 0.0 pips for professionals or Scalping traders.
Note: Margin call / stop out levels are the same at 150% / 60% for all accounts, and there are loyalty points earned per traded lot, which can be redeemed for rewards within the TPTrades system.
