The practical difference is that each pip is worth 100 times less in dollar terms: at 0.1 lot on EURUSD, a Standard Account earns or loses $1.00 per pip while a Micro Account earns or loses $0.01 per pip. Both accounts share the same $5 minimum deposit, 1:1,000 maximum leverage, variable spread, zero commission, and ten base currency options.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"What is the pip value on the XM Micro Account?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"On the XM Micro Account, 1 pip on EURUSD at 0.1 lot equals approximately $0.01 (one cent). At 1 lot (1,000 units), 1 pip equals $0.10. At 10 lots (10,000 units), 1 pip equals $1.00.

The Micro Account is specifically well-suited for beginners moving from demo trading to live accounts. The smaller lot size (1,000 units vs 100,000) means trading mistakes and learning losses cost significantly less in dollar terms. A 50-pip loss at 0.1 lot costs $0.50 on Micro versus $5.00 on Standard \u2014 a meaningful difference when someone is still developing their risk management habits.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Can I trade the same instruments on the XM Micro Account as Standard?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.

class=\"hero-lead\">The XM Micro Account uses a contract size of 1,000 units per lot \u2014 exactly one-hundredth of the Standard Account. This single difference makes the Micro Account the most risk-friendly entry point for traders moving from demo to live: a 50-pip loss costs $0.05 at minimum trade size rather than $5.00.

Because 1 lot = 1,000 units on Micro (versus 100,000 on Standard), every pip move is worth 100 times less in dollar terms at the same lot quantity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"pip-compare\">\r\n <div class=\"pip-col\">\r\n <div class=\"pip-head\">Micro Account \u2014 EURUSD pip values <span class=\"pip-badge badge-micro\">Micro<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">0.1 lot (100 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val green\">$0.01 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">1.0 lot (1,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val green\">$0.10 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">10 lots (10,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val green\">$1.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">100 lots (100,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$10.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-col\">\r\n <div class=\"pip-head\">Standard Account \u2014 EURUSD pip values <span class=\"pip-badge badge-std\">Standard<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">0.01 lot (1,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$0.10 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">0.1 lot (10,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$1.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">1.0 lot (100,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$10.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">10 lots (1,000,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$100.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>The implication: to achieve $1.00 per pip on a Micro Account, you need to trade 10 lots (10,000 units). On a Standard Account, the same $1.00\/pip is achieved with just 0.1 lot. This means the Micro Account allows much finer position sizing at small dollar values \u2014 useful for learning and for precisely matching risk to account size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"micro-vs-standard\">Micro vs Standard \u2014 Real-Dollar Comparison at Identical Trade Sizes<\/h2>\r\n <p>The table below shows the financial impact of common trade scenarios on both account types, making the dollar difference concrete.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"scenario-wrap\">\r\n <div class=\"scenario-head\">Scenario: EURUSD trade with 50-pip stop-loss<\/div>\r\n <table class=\"scenario-table\">\r\n <thead>\r\n <tr><th>Trade size (lots)<\/th><th>Units traded<\/th><th>Micro Account \u2014 50-pip loss<\/th><th>Standard Account \u2014 50-pip loss<\/th><\/tr>\r\n <\/thead>\r\n <tbody>\r\n <tr><td>0.1 lot<\/td><td>Micro: 100 | Std: 10,000<\/td><td class=\"td-micro\">$0.05<\/td><td class=\"td-std\">$5.00<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>1 lot<\/td><td>Micro: 1,000 | Std: 100,000<\/td><td class=\"td-micro\">$0.50<\/td><td class=\"td-std\">$50.00<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>10 lots<\/td><td>Micro: 10,000 | Std: 1,000,000<\/td><td class=\"td-micro\">$5.00<\/td><td class=\"td-std\">$500.00<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>The comparison is stark at the lower lot sizes most new traders use. A beginner trading 0.1 lot on the Micro Account who hits a 50-pip stop-loss loses $0.05 \u2014 five cents. The same stop-loss on a Standard Account costs $5.00. Over a month of learning \u2014 perhaps 40 trades \u2014 those five-cent losses on Micro total $2.00 versus $200 on Standard. The cost of learning is contained to a level that does not create financial stress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>Why this matters psychologically:<\/strong> Trading psychology research consistently shows that real-money emotional pressure \u2014 even at small amounts \u2014 behaves differently from demo trading. The Micro Account exposes you to that psychological experience at a financial cost low enough that mistakes during the learning curve remain affordable.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"margin\">Required Margin on the XM Micro Account \u2014 How Margin Calculation Differs from Standard<\/h2>\r\n <p>Margin on the Micro Account is calculated using the same formula as Standard, but the smaller contract size (1,000 units vs 100,000) means required margin is 100 times smaller at the same lot quantity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"calc-box\">\r\n <div class=\"calc-formula\">Required margin = Lots \u00d7 Contract size \u00d7 Open price \u00f7 Leverage<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"calc-example\">\r\n <strong>Micro Account \u2014 1 lot EURUSD at 1.0800, leverage 1:100:<\/strong><br>\r\n 1 \u00d7 1,000 \u00d7 1.0800 \u00f7 100 = $10.80 required margin<br><br>\r\n <strong>Standard Account \u2014 1 lot EURUSD at 1.0800, leverage 1:100:<\/strong><br>\r\n 1 \u00d7 100,000 \u00d7 1.0800 \u00f7 100 = $1,080.00 required margin<br><br>\r\n <strong>Micro Account \u2014 10 lots EURUSD at 1.0800, leverage 1:100:<\/strong><br>\r\n 10 \u00d7 1,000 \u00d7 1.0800 \u00f7 100 = $108.00 required margin\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"calc-result\">1 Micro lot = same margin as 0.01 Standard lot at same leverage<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>This means a $50 deposit can support real trading on the Micro Account at conservative leverage without immediately being at risk of margin calls \u2014 something that would be difficult to achieve on the Standard Account at the same balance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"demo-to-live\">Why the Micro Account Is the Best Starting Point for Transitioning from Demo to Live Trading<\/h2>\r\n <p>The single most common mistake traders make when moving from demo to live accounts is choosing an account that exposes them to more financial risk than they are emotionally ready for. On a demo account, losses are not real \u2014 the psychological experience of losing money does not exist. Moving to a Standard Account immediately exposes a trader to ten or twenty dollar losses per trade before they have developed the emotional resilience to manage those losses rationally.<\/p>\r\n <p>The Micro Account bridges this gap. The prices are real, the emotions are real, but the dollar amounts are small enough that a losing run does not wipe out meaningful capital while the trader adjusts to live trading conditions. Three things typically take time to develop in live trading that did not exist in demo: the instinct to close a losing trade quickly, the ability to let a winning trade run, and the discipline to stay within position size rules under pressure. The Micro Account gives you the environment to develop all three without paying a large financial price during the learning period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>When you are ready to move from Micro to Standard<\/h3>\r\n <p>There is no fixed timeline. The generally useful signals are: your trading results on Micro are consistently profitable over at least three months; your position sizing decisions are disciplined and not driven by emotional reactions to individual trades; you have a documented strategy with rules you follow rather than ad-hoc decisions; and the financial cost of moving to Standard lots is genuinely comfortable given your overall financial situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"strategy-testing\">Using the XM Micro Account to Test Live Strategies with Minimal Capital at Risk<\/h2>\r\n <p>Experienced traders \u2014 not just beginners \u2014 use Micro Accounts for a specific purpose: testing new strategies on live markets before scaling. A strategy can perform very differently in a live environment compared to backtesting or demo results because of spread costs, execution timing, and the psychological influence of real money on decision-making.<\/p>\r\n <p>Running a new strategy on a Micro Account for one to three months with minimal capital at risk gives data on live performance without the cost of running it on a full Standard Account during the validation period. If the strategy validates on Micro, the trader can then open a Standard or Ultra Low account and scale up with confidence. If it fails, the cost of the test is negligible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>Running both simultaneously:<\/strong> Once your first real account is KYC-verified, you can open additional accounts of different types from your XM Member Area in under one minute. Running a Micro Account for testing and a Standard or Ultra Low account for your validated strategy is a common approach and costs nothing extra beyond the deposits themselves.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"who-should-use\">Who Should Use the Micro Account \u2014 and When to Move to a Larger Account Type<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"who-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"who-card\">\r\n <div class=\"who-label label-yes\">\u2713 Micro Account suits you if:<\/div>\r\n <h4>Your situation matches these criteria<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>You are moving from a demo account to your first live trading experience and want the lowest possible financial cost per learning mistake<\/li>\r\n <li>Your deposit is under $200 and you want to trade multiple positions without excessive margin pressure<\/li>\r\n <li>You are testing a new strategy on live markets before scaling it to larger positions<\/li>\r\n <li>You want to experience the psychology of real-money trading (including losses) at a cost level that does not create financial stress<\/li>\r\n <li>You trade JPY, CHF, HUF, or PLN base currency \u2014 the Micro Account supports all ten XM base currencies<\/li>\r\n <li>You want deposit bonus eligibility alongside smaller position sizes<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"who-card\">\r\n <div class=\"who-label label-no\">\u2717 Consider a different account if:<\/div>\r\n <h4>One of these applies to your situation<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>You already trade standard lots consistently and want tighter spreads \u2014 Ultra Low Standard offers the same lot size as Standard but with approximately half the spread<\/li>\r\n <li>You scalp or day trade with a validated strategy and want the lowest cost per trade \u2014 Ultra Low Micro gives tighter spreads than Micro with the same small lot sizes<\/li>\r\n <li>You need to trade individual shares without CFD structure \u2014 the Shares Account (MT5 only, $10,000 minimum) is required<\/li>\r\n <li>You have already validated your strategy on Micro over three months and your returns justify moving to Standard-size positions<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"cta-inline\">\r\n <h3>Open your XM Micro Account \u2014 start with $5, risk $0.01 per pip<\/h3>\r\n <p>Same platforms and instruments as Standard.

The Micro Account is the most suitable starting point for traders moving from demo to live. The small lot size means each trade's financial impact is minimal while the psychological experience of real-money trading is genuine.

The practical difference is that each pip is worth 100 times less in dollar terms: at 0.1 lot on EURUSD, a Standard Account earns or loses $1.00 per pip while a Micro Account earns or loses $0.01 per pip. Both accounts share the same $5 minimum deposit, 1:1,000 maximum leverage, variable spread, zero commission, and ten base currency options.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"What is the pip value on the XM Micro Account?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"On the XM Micro Account, 1 pip on EURUSD at 0.1 lot equals approximately $0.01 (one cent). At 1 lot (1,000 units), 1 pip equals $0.10. At 10 lots (10,000 units), 1 pip equals $1.00.

The Micro Account is specifically well-suited for beginners moving from demo trading to live accounts. The smaller lot size (1,000 units vs 100,000) means trading mistakes and learning losses cost significantly less in dollar terms. A 50-pip loss at 0.1 lot costs $0.50 on Micro versus $5.00 on Standard \u2014 a meaningful difference when someone is still developing their risk management habits.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Can I trade the same instruments on the XM Micro Account as Standard?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.

Because 1 lot = 1,000 units on Micro (versus 100,000 on Standard), every pip move is worth 100 times less in dollar terms at the same lot quantity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"pip-compare\">\r\n <div class=\"pip-col\">\r\n <div class=\"pip-head\">Micro Account \u2014 EURUSD pip values <span class=\"pip-badge badge-micro\">Micro<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">0.1 lot (100 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val green\">$0.01 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">1.0 lot (1,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val green\">$0.10 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">10 lots (10,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val green\">$1.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">100 lots (100,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$10.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-col\">\r\n <div class=\"pip-head\">Standard Account \u2014 EURUSD pip values <span class=\"pip-badge badge-std\">Standard<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">0.01 lot (1,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$0.10 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">0.1 lot (10,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$1.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">1.0 lot (100,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$10.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"pip-row\"><span class=\"pip-key\">10 lots (1,000,000 units)<\/span><span class=\"pip-val\">$100.00 per pip<\/span><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>The implication: to achieve $1.00 per pip on a Micro Account, you need to trade 10 lots (10,000 units). On a Standard Account, the same $1.00\/pip is achieved with just 0.1 lot. This means the Micro Account allows much finer position sizing at small dollar values \u2014 useful for learning and for precisely matching risk to account size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"micro-vs-standard\">Micro vs Standard \u2014 Real-Dollar Comparison at Identical Trade Sizes<\/h2>\r\n <p>The table below shows the financial impact of common trade scenarios on both account types, making the dollar difference concrete.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"scenario-wrap\">\r\n <div class=\"scenario-head\">Scenario: EURUSD trade with 50-pip stop-loss<\/div>\r\n <table class=\"scenario-table\">\r\n <thead>\r\n <tr><th>Trade size (lots)<\/th><th>Units traded<\/th><th>Micro Account \u2014 50-pip loss<\/th><th>Standard Account \u2014 50-pip loss<\/th><\/tr>\r\n <\/thead>\r\n <tbody>\r\n <tr><td>0.1 lot<\/td><td>Micro: 100 | Std: 10,000<\/td><td class=\"td-micro\">$0.05<\/td><td class=\"td-std\">$5.00<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>1 lot<\/td><td>Micro: 1,000 | Std: 100,000<\/td><td class=\"td-micro\">$0.50<\/td><td class=\"td-std\">$50.00<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>10 lots<\/td><td>Micro: 10,000 | Std: 1,000,000<\/td><td class=\"td-micro\">$5.00<\/td><td class=\"td-std\">$500.00<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>The comparison is stark at the lower lot sizes most new traders use. A beginner trading 0.1 lot on the Micro Account who hits a 50-pip stop-loss loses $0.05 \u2014 five cents. The same stop-loss on a Standard Account costs $5.00. Over a month of learning \u2014 perhaps 40 trades \u2014 those five-cent losses on Micro total $2.00 versus $200 on Standard. The cost of learning is contained to a level that does not create financial stress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>Why this matters psychologically:<\/strong> Trading psychology research consistently shows that real-money emotional pressure \u2014 even at small amounts \u2014 behaves differently from demo trading. The Micro Account exposes you to that psychological experience at a financial cost low enough that mistakes during the learning curve remain affordable.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"margin\">Required Margin on the XM Micro Account \u2014 How Margin Calculation Differs from Standard<\/h2>\r\n <p>Margin on the Micro Account is calculated using the same formula as Standard, but the smaller contract size (1,000 units vs 100,000) means required margin is 100 times smaller at the same lot quantity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"calc-box\">\r\n <div class=\"calc-formula\">Required margin = Lots \u00d7 Contract size \u00d7 Open price \u00f7 Leverage<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"calc-example\">\r\n <strong>Micro Account \u2014 1 lot EURUSD at 1.0800, leverage 1:100:<\/strong><br>\r\n 1 \u00d7 1,000 \u00d7 1.0800 \u00f7 100 = $10.80 required margin<br><br>\r\n <strong>Standard Account \u2014 1 lot EURUSD at 1.0800, leverage 1:100:<\/strong><br>\r\n 1 \u00d7 100,000 \u00d7 1.0800 \u00f7 100 = $1,080.00 required margin<br><br>\r\n <strong>Micro Account \u2014 10 lots EURUSD at 1.0800, leverage 1:100:<\/strong><br>\r\n 10 \u00d7 1,000 \u00d7 1.0800 \u00f7 100 = $108.00 required margin\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"calc-result\">1 Micro lot = same margin as 0.01 Standard lot at same leverage<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>This means a $50 deposit can support real trading on the Micro Account at conservative leverage without immediately being at risk of margin calls \u2014 something that would be difficult to achieve on the Standard Account at the same balance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"demo-to-live\">Why the Micro Account Is the Best Starting Point for Transitioning from Demo to Live Trading<\/h2>\r\n <p>The single most common mistake traders make when moving from demo to live accounts is choosing an account that exposes them to more financial risk than they are emotionally ready for. On a demo account, losses are not real \u2014 the psychological experience of losing money does not exist. Moving to a Standard Account immediately exposes a trader to ten or twenty dollar losses per trade before they have developed the emotional resilience to manage those losses rationally.<\/p>\r\n <p>The Micro Account bridges this gap. The prices are real, the emotions are real, but the dollar amounts are small enough that a losing run does not wipe out meaningful capital while the trader adjusts to live trading conditions. Three things typically take time to develop in live trading that did not exist in demo: the instinct to close a losing trade quickly, the ability to let a winning trade run, and the discipline to stay within position size rules under pressure. The Micro Account gives you the environment to develop all three without paying a large financial price during the learning period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>When you are ready to move from Micro to Standard<\/h3>\r\n <p>There is no fixed timeline. The generally useful signals are: your trading results on Micro are consistently profitable over at least three months; your position sizing decisions are disciplined and not driven by emotional reactions to individual trades; you have a documented strategy with rules you follow rather than ad-hoc decisions; and the financial cost of moving to Standard lots is genuinely comfortable given your overall financial situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"strategy-testing\">Using the XM Micro Account to Test Live Strategies with Minimal Capital at Risk<\/h2>\r\n <p>Experienced traders \u2014 not just beginners \u2014 use Micro Accounts for a specific purpose: testing new strategies on live markets before scaling. A strategy can perform very differently in a live environment compared to backtesting or demo results because of spread costs, execution timing, and the psychological influence of real money on decision-making.<\/p>\r\n <p>Running a new strategy on a Micro Account for one to three months with minimal capital at risk gives data on live performance without the cost of running it on a full Standard Account during the validation period. If the strategy validates on Micro, the trader can then open a Standard or Ultra Low account and scale up with confidence. If it fails, the cost of the test is negligible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>Running both simultaneously:<\/strong> Once your first real account is KYC-verified, you can open additional accounts of different types from your XM Member Area in under one minute. Running a Micro Account for testing and a Standard or Ultra Low account for your validated strategy is a common approach and costs nothing extra beyond the deposits themselves.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"who-should-use\">Who Should Use the Micro Account \u2014 and When to Move to a Larger Account Type<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"who-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"who-card\">\r\n <div class=\"who-label label-yes\">\u2713 Micro Account suits you if:<\/div>\r\n <h4>Your situation matches these criteria<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>You are moving from a demo account to your first live trading experience and want the lowest possible financial cost per learning mistake<\/li>\r\n <li>Your deposit is under $200 and you want to trade multiple positions without excessive margin pressure<\/li>\r\n <li>You are testing a new strategy on live markets before scaling it to larger positions<\/li>\r\n <li>You want to experience the psychology of real-money trading (including losses) at a cost level that does not create financial stress<\/li>\r\n <li>You trade JPY, CHF, HUF, or PLN base currency \u2014 the Micro Account supports all ten XM base currencies<\/li>\r\n <li>You want deposit bonus eligibility alongside smaller position sizes<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"who-card\">\r\n <div class=\"who-label label-no\">\u2717 Consider a different account if:<\/div>\r\n <h4>One of these applies to your situation<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>You already trade standard lots consistently and want tighter spreads \u2014 Ultra Low Standard offers the same lot size as Standard but with approximately half the spread<\/li>\r\n <li>You scalp or day trade with a validated strategy and want the lowest cost per trade \u2014 Ultra Low Micro gives tighter spreads than Micro with the same small lot sizes<\/li>\r\n <li>You need to trade individual shares without CFD structure \u2014 the Shares Account (MT5 only, $10,000 minimum) is required<\/li>\r\n <li>You have already validated your strategy on Micro over three months and your returns justify moving to Standard-size positions<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"cta-inline\">\r\n <h3>Open your XM Micro Account \u2014 start with $5, risk $0.01 per pip<\/h3>\r\n <p>Same platforms and instruments as Standard.

The only instrument category not available on Micro is individual share trading, which requires the Shares Account (MT5 only, $10,000 minimum).<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n <span>Does the XM Micro Account have a higher minimum deposit than Standard?<\/span>\r\n <svg class=\"faq-ico\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No. Both the Micro and Standard Accounts require the same minimum deposit of $5 (or equivalent in your base currency). There is no premium for the smaller lot sizes \u2014 the Micro Account costs the same to open as any other XM account type except the Shares Account ($10,000 minimum).<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n <span>What is the maximum trade size on the XM Micro Account?<\/span>\r\n <svg class=\"faq-ico\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">The Micro Account allows a maximum of 100 lots per ticket and a maximum total open volume of 20,000 lots. Because Micro lots are 100 times smaller than Standard lots, 100 Micro lots represents the same notional size as 1 Standard lot. The higher lot number ceiling simply reflects the smaller unit size.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n <h2>Related guides<\/h2>\r\n <div class=\"related-grid\">\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/xemsignup.com\/xm-standard-account\" class=\"related-card\">\r\n <div class=\"rl\">Account Types<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"rt\">XM Standard Account \u2014 Full Guide<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"ra\">Read guide \u2192<\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/xemsignup.com\/xm-account-types-comparison\" class=\"related-card\">\r\n <div class=\"rl\">Comparison<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"rt\">All XM Account Types Compared<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"ra\">Read guide \u2192<\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/xemsignup.com\/xm-open-demo-account\" class=\"related-card\">\r\n <div class=\"rl\">Demo First<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"rt\">Open a Free XM Demo Account<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"ra\">Read guide \u2192<\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/xemsignup.com\/xm-leverage\" class=\"related-card\">\r\n <div class=\"rl\">Leverage<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"rt\">XM Leverage Up to 1:1,000<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"ra\">Read guide \u2192<\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/main>\r\n\r\n<footer>\r\n <div class=\"container-wide\">\r\n <div class=\"footer-inner\">\r\n <div>\r\n <div class=\"footer-brand\">xemsignup.com<\/div>\r\n <p class=\"footer-note\">Independent affiliate website.
