Leverage on the PRO Account
The EC Markets PRO Account offers leverage up to 1:1000, matching the other account types. However, with a $5,000 minimum deposit and no volume caps, PRO Account traders often manage significantly larger position sizes. This means leverage risk is amplified by position size as well as ratio.
For example, a PRO Account trader using 1:1000 leverage on a 10.0 lot position controls $1,000,000 in notional value with approximately $1,000 margin. A 0.1% adverse move could eliminate the margin allocated to that position. EC Markets sets margin call at 50% and stop out at 30%, but with large positions, these levels can be reached rapidly during volatile sessions.
Professional traders should implement strict risk management including maximum position size limits per instrument, portfolio-level drawdown limits, and correlation monitoring across multiple open positions. The absence of volume caps is a feature for flexibility, not an invitation to over-leverage.
The EC Markets Trading Ecosystem
All accounts share core infrastructure including market execution, multiple platforms, and flexible leverage. Trading conditions apply across account types.
Fixed leverage up to 1:1000
Trade with consistent leverage. Remember: leverage magnifies both profits and losses. Large positions with high leverage carry substantial risk.
Ultra-Fast Market Execution
Market execution places orders at the best available price. Professional-grade execution quality depends on market liquidity and conditions.
100+ Instruments in One Account
Access forex, metals, indices, energy markets and cryptocurrencies. Product availability may vary by region and EC Markets entity.
Minimum Trade Size from 0.01 Lots
Even professional accounts allow small position sizes for testing or hedging. Small size does not eliminate risk on a $5,000+ account.
Unlimited Trade Volume, No Caps
No cap on total trade size. Scale positions according to strategy and capital, but manage risk proportionally to account size.
Platform Flexibility
Trade via MT4, MT5, Web Terminal, or EC Markets App. Choose the platform that best fits professional workflow requirements.
PRO Account Risk Warning
The PRO Account requires a $5,000 minimum deposit and is intended for experienced traders. The higher minimum deposit reflects professional positioning but does not eliminate trading risk. With leverage up to 1:1000 and no volume caps, large positions can result in substantial losses that exceed smaller accounts entirely.
Swap-free (Islamic) accounts are not available on the PRO Account. If you require swap-free trading, consider the STD or ECN Account. Spreads starting from 1.0 pips represent trading costs on every position, and with large volumes, these costs accumulate significantly.
