RoboForex Account Types
RoboForex offers five live account types, plus swap-free (Islamic) versions and a demo. The choice is wide, which is great once you know what you want and slightly daunting on day one. Here’s how they differ and who they each suit suit.

How To Read The Line-Up
- ProCent is the training-wheels account. It’s an account denominated in cents, so a $10 deposit shows as 1,000 cents and every position is scaled down. Mistakes cost pennies, which makes it the right place to test an Expert Advisor or a new system.
- Pro is the same pricing model as ProCent (cost baked into the spread, no separate commission) but in standard units. This is the default for most casual traders.
- ECN moves you to raw spreads from 0.0 pips with a per-lot commission. Better for higher-frequency or scalping styles where a tight spread matters more than avoiding a commission line.
- Prime is the sharpest-priced option — same raw-spread idea as ECN but with a lower commission. The trade-off is a lower leverage cap (1:300).
- R StocksTrader is the odd one out: a proprietary platform built for real shares and ETFs, with thousands of instruments and TradingView charts. It needs $100 and behaves more like a stock-broking account than a forex one.
On top of these, swap-free trading is available across accounts (no overnight interest, replaced by fixed charges where they apply), and the demo account runs for 90 days.
How To Choose And Open The Right Account
We’ve opened and traded through a RoboForex account, so we know how to get started:
- Decide your priority: lowest spread (ECN/Prime), no commission (Pro/ProCent), or share trading (R StocksTrader).
- If you’re new, perhaps start with a ProCent account to trade live at minimal risk.
- Click to open a trading account and register for a Members Area login.
- Select the account type, base currency (USD or EUR) and platform (MT4, MT5 or R StocksTrader).
- Complete verification, fund the RoboForex account, and download or log in to your chosen platform.

Our Take
For most traders, the Pro account from RoboForex is a good middle ground. It has no commission to track, offers leverage, and is easy to understand. If you trade often and care about costs, Prime is the cheapest overall, given both the spread and the commission.
Having five account types gives you a lot of options, but beginners don’t need to worry about all of them. We recommend starting with a ProCent account to learn, then moving to Pro or Prime once you know your trading style.
