Cent account calculator
Short answer: On a cent account your balance is shown in US cents: $100 appears as 10,000. Use the calculator to convert between dollars and cents and to see how a lot size on a cent account compares to a standard account.
What is a cent account?
A cent account shows balance, profit and loss in US cents instead of dollars. A $100 deposit appears as 10,000. The market risk per real dollar is the same as on a standard account; only the display and the minimum trade size differ. See ProCent vs Pro explained for when to choose which.
Why use a cent account for copy trading?
Small balances can copy a strategy more accurately, because a cent account allows smaller trade sizes than a standard account. That is why you can start copying from $100 on an MT4 ProCent account.
