Explore global markets with an Equiti Classic trading account

The Classic account is designed for new traders, offering no minimum deposit, MT5 access, standard spreads and USD or AED as your account base currency. The Standard account requires a $100 minimum deposit and provides lower average spreads, a wider choice of base currencies (USD, AED, GBP and EUR) and access to MT4 and MT5. The best choice for you depends on how much you plan to deposit and the pricing and platform options you prefer.

Yes. The Classic account is created specifically for new traders, with no minimum deposit, MT5 access and core features like market analytics, news feeds and instant notifications that help you learn as you go. Standard accounts offer a similar setup but include a $100 minimum deposit, tighter average spreads and additional platform and base currency options for more choice.

You can’t change an existing Classic account into a Standard or Premier account, but you can open a new account at any time if you meet the deposit requirements. It’s a quick process: simply log in to your client portal, select the option to add a new trading account, then choose your preferred platform, account type and base currency. Your portal supports up to three trading accounts, letting you add the account type that best suits your needs.

For Classic accounts, we offer MetaTrader 5 (MT5) access, allowing you to trade global markets on mobile, tablet or desktop. The platform includes customisable charts, built-in trading tools and support for Expert Advisors (EAs) for strategy testing or automated trading, making it a flexible option for new and developing traders.
