Account FAQs

We don’t charge a cent. When you trade with STP Trading, the amount minus the transaction fee of your deposit will go into your trading account – but please be aware that your personal bank or wallet or any payment method that you use may charge you for wire transfers when making deposits.

At STP Trading, we keep our pricing transparent and charge low-to-zero commission (depending on account type) because our mission is to make financial markets accessible worldwide.

Apply for an account by submitting your contact details, personal information (with proof of address).

STP Trading is an execution-only broker. That means we do not trade on behalf of its clients, nor does it recommend anyone to trade on behalf of clients.

However, you can, at your own discretion and liability, appoint someone else to trade on your behalf by providing a signed limited power of attorney subject to our compliance team’s approval. If you wish to appoint an asset manager, we will need to verify that they are regulated and licensed to do so.

Once an account type & currency is set, it’s not possible to change these details to ensure we stay compliant to local regulators. We do allow up to three trading accounts under any one portal, so we recommend you open a second (or third – at the max) account with a new account type and currency.

Yes, we offer swap-free accounts which are exempted from swaps on currency majors, minors & precious metals. It is not possible to have a swap-free and swap-enabled account open at the same time, but you can convert your existing account to swap-free by contacting our dedicated account managers.

Please make sure to check all products within a swap-free account as in certain cases, like exotic currency pairs, rolling indices or commodities – some swap charges may still apply. For products that have a fixed expiry date, like futures CFDs or rolling CFDs, a fixed commission of $10/lot is applied.
