What is the Standard account at ThinkMarkets?

The ThinkMarkets Standard account uses spread-based pricing without a separate trading commission and is categorized in Broker Alarab data for MT4 and MT5 traders. Listed spreads range from 0.4–1.0 pips with a recorded average of 0.7 pips, the separate commission is $0, the minimum deposit is $50 and orders use Market Execution. When evaluating Standard pricing, traders should not focus exclusively on the 0.4-pip minimum. The full recorded range extends to 1.0 pip and the recorded average is 0.7 pips, providing additional context for evaluating the account structure. The absence of a separate commission also makes the pricing model relatively straightforward, although the spread itself remains a component of trading cost. Standard becomes easier to position when compared with the other two accounts. ThinkTrader has the same listed 0.4–1.0 pip range and $0 separate commission, but starts from $10 and is categorized for ThinkTrader and TradingView users. ThinkZero reduces the spread range to 0.0–0.3 pips but adds a $7 per-lot round-turn commission and requires a $100 minimum deposit. Standard therefore stands out in our data as the MT4 and MT5-oriented spread-pricing option without a separate commission.
