Standard Account Features and Specifications
Spread Structure and Pricing
The Standard account provides spreads starting at 1.7 pips on EUR/USD, which include our markup. This structure removes the need for separate commission payments. Spreads for major currencies remain stable during the London and New York sessions. However, exotic pairs like NZD/JPY or USD/TRY show wider spreads reflecting market liquidity. Expect NZD/USD spreads between 2.1 and 2.8 pips during peak New Zealand trading hours.
Leverage Options and Margin Requirements
Leverage up to 1:500 is available for Forex majors for New Zealand clients. Margin is calculated live on our platform based on open positions and account equity. CFD leverage ratios vary: stock indices up to 1:100, commodities between 1:50 and 1:200, and shares capped at 1:20. These limits help manage risk exposure effectively.
Trading Instruments Available
Standard accounts grant access to more than 70 currency pairs including major, minor, and exotic pairs. CFD instruments cover global stock indices, individual equities from major exchanges, and commodities such as gold and crude oil. Cryptocurrency CFDs include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. Agricultural products like wheat and sugar are also tradable.
Raw+ Account Advanced Trading Features
Commission Structure and Cost Analysis
Raw+ accounts charge a fixed commission of $7 NZD per standard lot traded, applied to both opening and closing trades. This structure offers direct access to interbank spreads without markups, often lowering total trading costs for active traders.
