Account types in Purple Trading

Purple Trading offers access to 4 account types:

ECN account

It is a standard account with this broker, offering access to direct quotes from liquidity providers, i.e. the lowest possible spreads (from 0.3 pips). However, it is worth remembering that an additional commission is charged on the transaction, as is always the case with ECN accounts.

The commission ranges from USD 5 to USD 10 per 1 lot, and its amount depends on your status as a trader. You can apply for a higher status based on your turnover.

STP account

Standard trading account, where no commission is charged on the turnover, but only the spread, which in this case is slightly higher and amounts to min. 1.3 pips.

PRO account

It is an account for professional traders, where the conditions such as commissions are agreed individually with the broker. Also in this case the leverage may have a higher value.

Investment account

This is a completely separate broker offer that allows you to invest in ETF portfolios or dynamic investment strategies. Access to the account can be obtained by completing the appropriate questionnaire in the customer panel.
