DecodeFX offers three account types: STD, PRO and CENT. Under this site's referral setup, STD starts from 0.34 pips with no commission, PRO starts from 0.0 pips with a $7 per-lot commission, and CENT starts at a $1 minimum deposit (this site's broker page, checked 4 August 2026). All three offer maximum leverage of up to 1:2000, and zero-cut (negative balance protection) requires a claim each time the account goes negative.
This article lines up the figures registered on this site's broker page with DecodeFX's current official account types page (checked 26 September 2026) to cover spreads, commissions, minimum deposits, shared conditions and how to change or add an account type. Because STD spreads vary by IB (introducing broker) markup, we make clear that the STD figure quoted here is this site's referral setup specifically. The figures shown in your own client portal always take priority.
In short: choosing between DecodeFX's STD, PRO and CENT accounts
- STD: from 0.34 pips under this site's referral setup, no commission, USD 100 minimum deposit — for a balance between spread and commission
- PRO: from 0.0 pips, a $7 per-lot commission (standard lot), USD 100 minimum deposit — for traders who prioritise a tight spread
- CENT: from 1.7 pips, no commission, USD 1 minimum deposit — for testing the platform with a small amount
- All three offer up to 1:2000* leverage, and zero-cut protection requires a claim (*leverage may be restricted by account balance or instrument)
Leveraged FX/CFD trading can result in losses exceeding your deposit. Check your own risk tolerance and money-management approach before choosing an account type. Zero-cut (negative balance protection) is not automatic — it requires a claim each time your account goes negative.
The operating company is Decode Global Limited (Vanuatu, company number 700415). More on the operator is covered in the column below.
DecodeFX account types compared (table)
Under this site's referral setup, the STD account's spread varies by IB (introducing broker) markup, and DecodeFX has told us there is no single official spread that applies to everyone. The figures below reflect this site's referral setup (checked 4 August 2026).
| Account | Spread | Commission | Minimum deposit | Platforms | Max leverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| STD | From 0.34 pips (this site's referral setup; varies by IB) | None | USD 100 | DecodeFX App, MT4, MT5, API | Up to 1:2000* |
| PRO | From 0.0 pips | $7 per lot (standard) | USD 100 | Same as above | Up to 1:2000* |
| CENT | From 1.7 pips | None | USD 1 | Same as above | Up to 1:2000* |
※ *Maximum leverage may be restricted by account balance or instrument; the figure shown in your client portal takes priority. DecodeFX's current official account types page (checked 26 September 2026) shows STD at 0.9 pips, PRO at a $5 round-turn commission, and a USD 100 minimum deposit for both STD and PRO. Because STD spreads vary by IB, this site's referral setup uses 0.34 pips (checked 4 August 2026).
STD account: how spreads vary by IB setup
The STD account carries no commission, with trading costs built into the spread. Under this site's referral setup it starts from 0.34 pips, with a USD 100 minimum deposit. DecodeFX has told us that STD spreads vary by each IB's (introducing broker's) markup, so there is no single official spread that applies to everyone.
- Spread: from 0.34 pips (this site's referral setup, checked 4 August 2026)
- Commission: none
- Minimum deposit: USD 100
- Platforms: DecodeFX App, MT4, MT5, API
DecodeFX's official account types page (checked 26 September 2026) lists the STD spread as from 0.9 pips. Because spreads vary by IB, this does not match this site's referral setup (from 0.34 pips). Check the spread actually applied to your account in the client portal or your trading platform after opening it.
PRO account: the real cost behind 0.0 pips
The PRO account offers spreads from 0.0 pips, but carries a $7 per-lot commission on standard lots (this site's broker page, checked 4 August 2026). Traders with higher volumes tend to benefit most from the tighter spread.
- Spread: from 0.0 pips
- Commission: $7 per lot (standard)
- Minimum deposit: USD 100
- Platforms: DecodeFX App, MT4, MT5, API
DecodeFX's current official account types page (checked 26 September 2026) lists the PRO commission as $5 round-turn. This differs from this site's referral setup ($7 per lot), so check the actual commission charged in your trading platform's statement after opening an account.
CENT account: starting from a $1 minimum deposit
The CENT account has a USD 1 minimum deposit and trades in USC (cent) denomination. Spreads start from 1.7 pips, with no commission. Neither the official page nor this site's broker page states a contract size (units per lot), so this article does not state one.
- Spread: from 1.7 pips
- Commission: none
- Minimum deposit: USD 1
- Account currency: USC (cent-denominated)
A USD 1 minimum deposit suits traders who want to test order types and platform operation with a small amount. Trading conditions such as spread and leverage can still move the same way as on STD/PRO, so check your trading platform before running a real strategy.
Shared conditions across all three accounts: 1:2000 leverage, zero-cut and platforms
STD, PRO and CENT share the same leverage cap and zero-cut treatment.
- Maximum leverage: up to 1:2000* (may be restricted by account balance or instrument; the figure shown in your client portal takes priority)
- Zero-cut (negative balance protection): available. The official FAQ states it 'requires a claim each time the account balance goes negative' — it is claim-based, not automatic
- Platforms: DecodeFX App, MT4, MT5, API (this site's broker page, checked 4 August 2026)
- Stop out level: not stated on the official page — check your account specification (MT4/MT5 account information or support) before trading
