To become a professional trader with Markets.com, you must fulfil at least 2 of the below criteria:
As an elective professional you may be eligible to request for a lower spread profile. Additionally, you can take greater advantage of all the Markets.com tools, including premium analysis reports and the opportunity to request instruments to be added to the platform. What’s more, every pro trader gets their own personal account manager, on call whenever you need them.
There are several regulatory requirements in place to protect retail traders. When you switch to a Professional Trader account, you waive those protections and therefore take on more risks.
