InstaForex Review

Trading Conditions

Trading conditions at InstaForex are varied across five different account types, with both instant and market execution options available. In Europe, maximum leverage is 30:1 but will be higher elsewhere. Likewise, spreads can be fixed or variable and one of the accounts is even commission-based.

Account Types

InstaForex offers both real and demo accounts. However, there are several types of real accounts from which a trader can choose from.

The account types available are:

• Insta.Standard: Instant execution, with no minimum deposit and fixed spreads (starting at 2 pips), this account is good for beginner traders who prefer their fees paid in the spread rather than via commission
• Insta:Eurica: Also instant execution with no minimum deposit, this account is very similar to the Insta.Standard Account – the only difference being a 0 pip spread in return for a commission. 0 pip spreads are offered on major and minor currencies, all other assets will have wider spreads.
• ECN: The first of the three market execution accounts, minimum deposit here is 100 EUR and spreads are variable but average at 1.2 pips. 
• ECN Pro: Also market execution, the minimum deposit here is 1000 EUR and the variable spreads are tighter at an average of 0.8 pips.
• Scalping: This account is built for scalpers, with ultra-fast market execution. Otherwise, trading conditions are the same as the ECN Account
