Cent account: what it is, who it suits and how it works
The account designed to move from demo to live with lower exposure: you trade in cents, with no commission, on MetaTrader 5.
What is the Cent account?
The VexPro Cent account is a live MetaTrader 5 account in which you trade in cents, with lower exposure per trade. It opens from $50, charges no commission (the cost is in the spread, from 1.5 pips), accepts lots from 0.01 and leverage of up to 1:500. It is designed for getting started or moving from demo to live.

Trading in cents, explained.
In a Cent account, your balance and trade results are expressed in US cents. In practice, with the same lot size, the monetary exposure of each trade is smaller than in a standard account. You trade with real money and real execution, but with smaller amounts while you learn or validate a method. The exact contract size of each instrument is shown in the symbol specifications inside MetaTrader 5: check it before your first trade.
The Cent account charges no commission per trade: the cost of trading is included in the spread, which starts from 1.5 pips. The spread is variable and can widen when liquidity is low or volatility is high, so it is worth understanding the total cost of each trade before you open it.
Guide: spread and commission, the real cost of tradingYou trade on MetaTrader 5 with access to more than 500 instruments and average execution under 20 ms; that is a published average, not a guarantee for every order. You choose leverage when opening the account (1:50, 1:100, 1:200 or 1:500) and the stop-out level is set at 80% of the margin level. The Demo account shares the same conditions, so you can practise first without risking money.
How VexPro executes ordersIs the Cent account right for you?
An account fits when it matches your stage as a trader, not when it promises more.
It suits you if…
- You are moving from a demo account to a live one and want to do it with small amounts.
- You want to test a strategy with real execution without committing much capital.
- You prefer a simple cost: no commission, everything included in the spread.
- You are starting with limited capital: the minimum deposit is $50.
Choose another account if…
- You want the 100% deposit bonus: it does not apply to the Cent account (it does on ECN, STP and Synthetics).
- You scalp or trade volume and prioritise the lowest spread: the ECN account starts at 0.0 pips with a $10 per lot commission.
- You need more than 700 instruments: they are available on the ECN account.
- You want 24/7 synthetic indices: the Synthetics account is designed for that.

What the Cent account does not change.
Trading in cents reduces the amount at stake. It does not remove the risk.
-
Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Being able to use up to 1:500 does not mean you should.
-
If your margin level falls to 80%, the platform closes positions automatically (stop out).
-
Slippage and gaps can change the execution price, especially around news or in low liquidity.
-
Even with small amounts, you can lose the money you deposit.
-
Spreads are variable: “from 1.5 pips” is a minimum, not a fixed value.
