FAQs

Questions About FBS and Admirals

Key questions before opening an account.

FBS
Admirals

Does FBS currently offer only a Standard account?

FBS currently presents its Standard account as the main live trading option for many international clients. Older Cent, ECN or other account names may still appear in outdated reviews or different entities.

Is the FBS minimum deposit really $5?

The advertised starting deposit is around $5 for the main account, but the practical minimum can depend on the payment method, account currency and client country.

Is the advertised 0.7-pip FBS spread always available?

No. The 0.7-pip figure is a starting spread. Live spreads are variable and may widen during economic news, volatile sessions, market openings or lower liquidity.

Why does Admirals list Trade and Zero accounts separately for MT4 and MT5?

Trade.MT4 and Trade.MT5 use broadly similar pricing on different platforms, as do Zero.MT4 and Zero.MT5. They can therefore be grouped as Trade and Zero while listing platform availability separately.

Is the Admirals Zero account always cheaper than Trade?

Zero offers spreads from 0.0 pips with a separate commission, while Trade includes broker costs in the spread. The cheaper option depends on live spreads, trade size and trading frequency.

What is Admirals Invest.MT5 and why is it not listed as a forex account?

Invest.MT5 is designed for eligible investment products under different conditions. It is not the same category as the Trade and Zero forex and CFD pricing accounts.
