Users will need to deposit as little as $100 minimum deposit to start trading the financial markets. The average spread on major pairs is 1 pip but can go as low as 0.5 pips on some currency pairs.
• Raw account: A raw account is a commission-based account that has tight spreads and spreads as low as 0 pip on some major currency pairs. The minimum deposit for a raw account is $100. The commission charged on this account is $3.5 per standard lot traded.

Fees and swap rates

The platform offers a Transparent pricing model which has highly competitive rates.

The spreads for gold and silver start at 1.0 pips and 0.5 pips, respectively. 

The spreads vary when it comes to cryptocurrencies (the spread on Bitcoin can go up to 30 pips).

Eightcap does not get involved in the physical delivery of trades, and all positions are left open at the end of the trading day to be rolled out to a new value date. This gives them exposure to a swap charge or credit.
