Your account type shapes spread, commission, and the rhythm of your trading activity. Standard accounts are usually simpler, while Raw or ECN accounts are often more relevant for active traders.
Choose based on strategy
- Scalpers usually focus on spread and execution.
- Active day traders need to compare spread plus commission.
- Swing traders are more flexible as long as platform quality and support remain strong.
