Mitrade’s account structure is deliberately kept simple: most users have exactly one choice. This is very different from brokers offering five or six account tiers, and for new traders it removes a decision that doesn’t actually need to be made.
This guide breaks down all three Mitrade account modes — Standard, Professional, and Demo — what differentiates them, who each one suits, and what the reality of the Professional account looks like in practice.
- Overview of all three Mitrade account types
- Standard account details and spread data
- Professional account — eligibility and what it actually means
- Demo account features and best use
- Which account type suits your situation

Standard Account — The Choice for Almost Everyone
What the Standard Account Actually Offers
Mitrade’s account design philosophy is clear: the Standard account is built so most traders don’t need to think about upgrading. No commission, spreads from 0.05 pips, $50 minimum deposit, TradingView built in — all in one account without tiering.
For traders who aren’t running high-frequency strategies, the Standard account covers everything needed. One thing worth flagging honestly: while the minimum spread is 0.05 pips, the EUR/USD average spread runs around 1.3 pips — this is a floating spread that widens during low-liquidity sessions and ahead of major data releases. The minimum is not the typical experience.
| Instrument | Min Spread | Typical Spread |
|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 0.05 pips | ~1.3 pips |
| XAUUSD (Gold) | 0.06 pips | ~0.1 pips |
| US30 (Dow Jones) | 2.4 pips | ~3–5 pips |
| BTCUSD | 20 pips | ~25–40 pips |
* Average spreads are indicative. Actual spreads vary by market conditions.
Leverage: Determined by Region, Not Account Type
Mitrade’s leverage limits are set by the regulatory framework of your region — not by which account type you hold:
- ASIC (Australia) / CySEC (EU) regulated clients: Maximum 1:30 on major forex pairs, lower on other instruments
- Other regions (offshore entity): Up to 1:200 on forex pairs
ASIC / CySEC regulated
Australia · EU member states
Regulated limits — applies to both Standard and Pro accounts
Offshore entity
Taiwan · Vietnam · Most of Asia
Higher limits available — use conservatively regardless
Higher leverage is available in some regions, but using it aggressively is a separate decision from which account type you hold. The platform offering 1:200 doesn’t mean 1:200 is advisable — especially for traders who are still building consistency.
Professional Account — Further Away Than It Looks
The Reality of the Professional Account
To be direct: the Professional account is not a product Mitrade actively promotes. It exists primarily to satisfy regulatory requirements — allowing qualified investors to access higher leverage in jurisdictions that permit it — rather than as a standard upgrade path for regular users.
Even if you’re interested, availability is limited to select regions (primarily Australia), and the eligibility assessment is genuinely selective. Most traders outside Australia will not be able to apply regardless of their experience level.
What the Professional Account Actually Adds
- Higher leverage: Up to 1:200–1:500 depending on region and asset class
- Dedicated account manager: A named contact for account support and issue resolution
- TradingView subscription reimbursement: Partial rebate on TradingView plan costs
The most important trade-off of the Professional account: upgrading removes some retail client protections, including negative balance protection in certain regions. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses — this is an intentional regulatory design, not an oversight. Understand the trade-off fully before applying.
Demo Account — More Useful Than Most People Treat It
What the Demo Account Offers
Mitrade’s demo account provides $50,000 in virtual funds, with spreads and execution matching live market conditions — a fully risk-free environment to learn the platform and test strategies.
Most people open a demo account, use it for a few days, and then ignore it. In my view, that’s leaving a useful tool underused. Before committing real capital, spending time in the demo specifically watching spreads across different instruments during different sessions gives a much more concrete sense of Mitrade’s actual trading costs than reading a spec sheet ever will.
- Virtual funds: $50,000 USD (or AUD, depending on region)
- Demo account does not expire after profile verification is complete
- Auto-replenished when balance falls below $200
- Can be used before or alongside a live account
The demo uses the same market data as the live platform. If you observe wide gold spreads during a particular session in the demo, expect the same in a live account. The demo is the most honest preview of actual trading conditions available before you deposit.
Which Account Type Should You Choose?
| Your Situation | Recommended Account | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| First time trading CFDs | Demo first, then Standard | Observe spreads and platform before committing real funds |
| Experienced trader ready to go live | Standard Account | Full functionality — no upgrade needed for most use cases |
| Want higher leverage (and in an eligible region) | Professional Account | Requires eligibility check — comes with reduced retail protections |
| Testing new strategies alongside live trading | Demo + Standard together | Use demo for experimentation, Standard for confirmed setups |
The short version: There’s no real account selection decision to agonize over at Mitrade. The overwhelming majority of users should go with the Standard account. The Professional account has a high bar, limited regional availability, and isn’t a realistic option for most people. The Demo account is genuinely worth using before depositing real money.
