The screen

The account type is not a control on the trading screen (Nigeria)

Every panel in front of you already belongs to one account. Where that was decided, which fields change meaning, and how to read which one is open.

Nothing in the trading window sets the account type. It is fixed when the account is created and handled in the personal area — the dashboard from sign-up. Two names sit behind the panels: Standard, with no minimum deposit, and Standard Cent, counted in cents. In the terminal that difference surfaces twice: in the unit the balance counts in, and in what one typed size is worth.

Two screens, and only one of them knows the type

The terminal trades; the personal area administers. Ask the wrong screen and the silence reads like a fault.

What you want to know	The screen holding it	What the other shows
Which types are open to you	The personal area, after sign-up	One account: the one signed in
Conditions and smallest amount	Sign-up, before money moves	Nothing printed on the panels
Which account the next click reaches	The line beside the balance	The dashboard takes no orders
Whether anything is at stake	The balance: virtual money means a demo	No type was asked for there

This site is an independent guide, not a broker: it opens no accounts, holds no money and takes no documents. Every screen named here belongs to the broker.

The panels that look the same on every type

Change the type and most of the screen does not react:

The instrument list. Same names, same two prices — the gap is the spread, the main cost on Standard.
The chart. Same candles at the same prices, scaled to no balance.
The order ticket. Same boxes; the protective exit is the same field — see risk basics.
The list of open trades. Same columns, different figures.

A screenshot of the trading window therefore settles no argument about an account: the panels are shared, the balance line is not.

Four fields that read differently because of the type

Same field, same place, two meanings.

The field	Counted in dollars	Counted in cents
The balance figure	Dollars, matching what was sent	Hundredths: roughly 1,000 small units after $10
The result of an open trade	Moves in dollars	Moves in small units — an alarming figure can be cents
The size typed in the ticket	Opens a regular-size trade	The same number opens one about 100 times smaller
The overnight charge	The swap, shown before you trade	The same, in that account’s unit; none where a swap-free option applies

One reading is missing from the terminal: the smallest amount to send before starting. It depends on the region and lives on the sign-up screens. The practice calculator runs on figures you type — name the unit beside each.

Three checks that say which account is open

The type is read, not remembered. Run these in the first minute of a session.

The label beside the balance

Read the name before the price: which button was pressed at sign-in is easy to misremember.
Whether anything was sent or asked

Nothing paid and no document requested means virtual money — the route is in opening an account.
The dashboard, when the first two disagree

The personal area is the register; the terminal views one account at a time.

The screen keeps no record for you, so keep one on paper: the date, the name on the account line, the unit the balance counts in, the result beside it. Two entries a week apart catch the session where the unit changed and the reading did not.

What no panel here will tell you

Which way a price will go. The type sets the size of your side, never the direction.
That a small unit is a safe one. Counted in cents, losses stay small — and stay real.
That the professional names are a ladder. Pro, Raw Spread and Zero answer needs of experienced traders around pricing and costs.
That the first pick is permanent. Start with an amount you could lose entirely — see beginner mistakes.

Questions asked with the terminal open

Nothing on the trading screen names an account type. Has something failed to load?

No. The window shows one account and its balance; the type belongs to the account.

Can the type be switched from inside the trading window?

Accounts are managed in the personal area. The terminal takes orders only.

The platform opened without asking anything. Which account is it holding?

The one selected last — read that line before the first click.

Is the account name printed on the row of an open trade?

No. It carries the instrument, the size and the result; the account is the balance line above.

Does a demo carry one of these names at all?

It needs none: virtual money, no type, no documents, no time limit.

The same size was typed as last time and the result looks far smaller. Why?

Because the balance beneath it counts in cents: the box did not change, the unit did.

Is there a screen that puts two types side by side?

The personal area lists what is available to you. This page prints no conditions, because a page can go stale.

Which screen answers a question this page left open?

Sign-up for conditions, the dashboard for availability; the rest goes to the help page.
