Advantage
Zero spreads on major pairs. That’s why it’s called Advantage.
We are constantly comparing ourselves to the competition in order to make sure that you get the best possible value for your trades.
That’s why our Advantage account has some of the tightest spreads in the business. In fact, they’re typically zero on some of the most traded currency pairs in the world, including EURUSD and EURGBP, and as low as zero on Gold/US Dollar (XAUUSD).
Market execution for the best price
Next to the best spreads we offer, this account is popular because it executes orders using market execution – meaning you get the best market price available, immediately.
Commission-free stock trading
It gives you access to commission-free stock trading on the MT5 platform. Don’t want to own any stocks and want to open short positions on their price movements? We’ve got Stock CFDs on offer on the Advantage as well, also exclusively on the popular MT5 platform.

Just like every responsible broker out there, we're licensed and regulated and treat our clients' trading safety as the highest priority. We guarantee the safety of your deposits with segregated funds protection (meaning your money is kept entirely separate from the company's funds at all times!).
It is also necessary for us to remind you to stay alert about the risks involved in trading at all times, and take the necessary actions to manage your risk. For example, you should use stop loss limit orders for your trading according to market conditions and your risk tolerance.
