NextTrade Minimum Deposit: Everything You Need to Know
The minimum deposit at NextTrade is $25$25 USD for a Standard account, $100 USD for a Raw account, and $10,000 USD for VIP accounts. Credit/debit card deposits, cryptocurrency deposits and local payment methods (alternative payment methods, APMs) are currently available; which local payment methods you can use depends on your country and is shown in your client area. Bank wire transfer deposits are coming soon. Your deposit gives you full access to all 130+ tradable instruments on MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and TradeLocker, dynamic leverage up to 1:1000 on major forex pairs on MT5 (TradeLocker up to 1:500), and the ability to trade micro-lots (0.01). VIP accounts additionally offer tighter spreads and dedicated support. Please note that trading with leverage increases both potential profits and losses and may result in the loss of your invested capital.
What $25$25 actually gets you
- All 130+ Instruments
- Full access to every market: forex pairs, indices, commodities, metals and crypto CFDs. Available on all three account types: Standard, Raw, and VIP.
- Micro-Lot Trading (0.01 Lots)
- Trade positions as small as 0.01 lots (1,000 units). This means a 10-pip move on EUR/USD equals roughly $1.00.
- MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker
- Both platforms are included with every account type, with the same spreads and execution on each. MetaTrader 5 brings advanced charting, Expert Advisors and all its order types; TradeLocker brings native TradingView charts, a built-in risk calculator and the Studio bot builder. Both are available from your first deposit.
- Up to 1:1000 Dynamic Leverage on MT5
- Full dynamic leverage tiers are available from $25$25. On MT5, with up to 1:1000 leverage, a $25 deposit gives you up to $25,000 in buying power on major forex pairs (TradeLocker up to 1:500). Please note that trading with leverage increases both potential profits and losses and may result in the loss of your invested capital.
Account Minimums
The minimum deposit is $25$25 for Standard, $100 for Raw, and $10,000 for VIP. Below is a summary of what each minimum applies to. Trading remains subject to market risk and appropriate risk management is important.
- $25$25Standard Minimum
- The minimum deposit for a Standard account. Enough to open micro-lot (0.01) positions and access all 130+ instruments. However, trading with a lower balance may limit your available margin and increase the risk of positions being closed due to market movements. It is important to manage risk appropriately when trading with smaller account balances.
- $100Raw Minimum
- The minimum deposit for a Raw account, which offers tighter raw spreads with a per-lot commission. Like Standard, you can open micro-lot (0.01) positions and access all 130+ instruments. Trading remains subject to market risk and appropriate risk management is important.
- $10,000+VIP Account
- The minimum deposit for VIP accounts, which offer tighter spreads and dedicated support. A higher balance provides additional margin flexibility across instruments and timeframes, but trading remains subject to market risk and appropriate risk management is important.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trade with $25$25?
Yes. A $25$25 deposit on a Standard account gives you access to all 130+ instruments and allows you to open micro-lot (0.01) positions. However, trading with a lower balance may limit your available margin and increase the risk of positions being closed due to market movements. It is important to manage risk appropriately when trading with smaller account balances.
Is there a maximum deposit amount?
The maximum deposit depends on your country and payment method. When you deposit by card, crypto or local payment methods (APMs), check the limits shown in your client portal. Bank wire transfers are coming soon, and your bank may set its own limits on them. For very large deposits (above $50,000), you may want to contact support for priority processing and dedicated account management.
Is the minimum deposit the same for all account types?
No. The minimum deposit is $25$25 for Standard, $100 for Raw, and $10,000 for VIP. All account types provide access to the same 130+ instruments on both platforms, MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker, but Raw accounts offer tighter raw spreads with a per-lot commission, and VIP accounts offer tighter spreads and dedicated support.
Can I deposit in a currency other than USD?
NextTrade accounts are denominated in USD. If you deposit in another currency (e.g., EUR, GBP, AUD via card), the amount will be converted to USD at the prevailing exchange rate. Crypto deposits are credited at the current market price at the time of confirmation.
What happens if my account balance drops below the minimum?
Your account remains fully active even if your balance drops below the deposit minimum ($25$25 for Standard, $100 for Raw). There is no minimum balance requirement to keep your account open. You can continue trading with whatever balance remains or add funds at any time. The minimum only applies to deposits, not account maintenance.
