Choosing an Account: Prime, Pro, ProCent, ECN

by momser » Sat Aug 30, 2025 12:01 pm

I’m trying to figure out which account type actually makes sense for me. I started with a small balance just to test strategies, but it feels like I’m outgrowing the basic setup. On one hand, I like the idea of having super-tight spreads, but on the other hand, I don’t want to throw myself into something that’s going to eat up my deposit too quickly. My goal is to keep experimenting but also move towards something more serious over time. Curious what others picked and why.

I was in the same spot a few months back. I began with a cent account just to get a feel for the platform without stressing over losses, then eventually switched to an ECN setup when I felt more confident. The execution speed and spreads were noticeably better. It depends on how you trade though — scalpers often go for ECN, while long-term folks stick to something with lower swaps. If you want to compare the conditions side by side, the info on roboforex gives a pretty clear breakdown of what you’re signing up for. Personally, I think it’s less about “best” and more about what stage you’re at.

What helped me was setting up a simple plan with clear risk limits and sticking to it, no matter which setup I used. Having a few demo tests running in parallel really reduced the stress, because I could see how different styles performed without committing real money right away. I’d suggest anyone keep records of their trades from day one — you’ll notice patterns in your behavior and results that say a lot more than just account specs ever could.
