Account Types
Skilling offers two main types of accounts: Standard and Premium. Both account types share the same core features, such as leverage and negative balance protection. The number of tradeable assets and other platform-specific features depend on the trading
platform you choose, not the account type.
Both Standard and Premium accounts are available on Skilling Trader, Skilling cTrader, TradingView, MT4 and MT5. Spreads, commissions and available instruments vary by platform.
Standard
Skilling Standard account is the ideal type for beginners. A zero-commission account with spreads from 0.8 pips (0.6 pips on MT5).*

Premium
Skilling Premium Account differs from the Standard one mainly in the spreads, which are tighter than Standard across all platforms, and it is also subject to trading volume commissions. Given the low spreads, the starting deposit is higher (€5,000 or an average monthly trading volume of $10,000,000 (100 lots)).
