When traders talk about “trading conditions” at a Forex broker, they mean the practical rules that shape every trade: which account types you can open, what spread you pay, whether there is a commission, how leverage and margin work, when a broker issues a margin call, how a stop out is triggered, and what limits apply to order size and order count.
With FBS, trading conditions are published across its official pages and differ by the FBS entity you register with. In simple terms: FBS provides a global-style setup with high maximum leverage and broad CFD access, and it also operates a regulated European setup where leverage is capped for retail clients and the account lineup is presented as Standard, Cent, demo versions, and Islamic (swap-free) options.
The two layers you must separate: broker profile vs trading account rules
Most traders judge conditions by spread and leverage alone, but the full picture has two layers:
- Entity-level rules: leverage caps, client categories (retail/professional), and platform availability can change based on the regulated company behind your account.
- Account-level rules: order volume limits, maximum open orders, execution method, spreads, swaps, and any special options like swap-free.
This is why you will see one set of conditions on FBS’s global pages (for example, leverage up to 1:3000 and margin call/stop out levels like 40% and 20%), while FBS Europe pages show leverage up to 1:30 for retail and a separate path for professional clients.
Account types at FBS: what they are and who they fit
Standard account: the main “spread-only” style account
The Standard account is positioned as the normal live trading format where costs are built mainly into the spread, rather than charged as a per-lot commission. On FBS Europe’s Standard account page, the conditions are listed as floating spreads from 0.7 pips and leverage up to 1:30 for retail clients, with an upgrade path to professional leverage up to 1:500. It also lists limits like up to 400 open positions and pending orders and an order volume range up to 500 lots, with market execution.
On FBS’s global Forex account page, the message is consistent with a spread-first pricing model: “No commission to open or close positions,” spreads from 0.7 pips, and a low entry deposit level.
Who it fits in Forex trading
- Traders who want simple pricing (spread cost is visible directly on the chart/quote).
- Traders who manage trades manually or with expert advisors and prefer not to track a separate commission line item.
Cent account: small contract sizing for lower exposure per trade
The Cent account is designed around smaller lot logic. FBS describes Cent-lot sizing as a way to trade very small volumes: “1 lot on the Cent account equals 0.01 Standard lot,” allowing positions as small as 0.0001 standard lots.
On FBS Europe’s Cent account page, the broker also explains the contract sizing in practical units: 0.01 cent lot equals 10 units, and the maximum order volume is expressed in cent lots and as standard-lot equivalents.
What Cent account pricing looks like
- Floating spread (not fixed).
- No commission is stated for Cent account in FBS Help Center content.
Important availability rule
FBS’s Trading Conditions PDF states that a Cent Account can only be opened through a partner referral link. That means the Cent account may not appear for every registration route or every region.
Who it fits in Forex trading
- Traders who want to place live-market trades while keeping exposure per trade very small.
- Strategy testing with real spreads and execution, without sizing into standard-lot exposure immediately.
Demo accounts: practice conditions without real funds
FBS states that demo options are available (including “Demo and Swap Free options available” in its instrument specs pages). A demo account is primarily about platform workflow: quotes, charting, order placement, and basic trade management.
Swap-free (Islamic) option: removing overnight interest charges
FBS offers a Swap Free option intended for Muslim clients, describing it as interest-free overnight handling aligned with Islamic rules.
FBS also specifies a key detail for this option: it is available for all trading instruments, but when trading Forex Exotic, a commission is charged once a week instead of swap.
Spread at FBS: what “floating from 0.7 pips” really means
Across FBS’s published conditions, the core statement you’ll see is floating spreads from 0.7 pips. This appears directly on FBS’s Forex instrument specification page.
Floating spread basics (practical, not theoretical)
A floating spread is not a single number. It is a live bid/ask difference that changes with market conditions. What matters to Forex traders is how spread behavior affects:
- Entry cost (you start a trade in a small unrealized loss equal to the spread)
- Scalping and very short-term trading (spread is a larger share of the move)
- News volatility (spreads can widen during sharp liquidity shifts)
FBS points traders to instrument-specific pages and the trading platform/app for “current trading conditions and spreads for all instruments,” which is how floating pricing is normally presented for CFD Forex trading.
Spread vs “no commission” pricing
FBS’s global account page explicitly states no commission to open or close positions, which signals a spread-focused pricing structure for its standard-style offering.
However, swap-free Forex Exotic handling introduces a different weekly commission mechanic when swaps are not used, so “no commission” and “swap-free” can coexist with special instrument rules.
Leverage at FBS: global maximums vs European caps
Leverage is one of the most searched Forex topics because it determines how much margin is required to open a position.
Global-style leverage (up to 1:3000)
FBS states that it offers leverage up to 1:3000 on its global-focused pages, including the Forex account page and the Forex instrument specs page.
This high leverage framework is paired with published risk controls like:
- Margin call at 40%
- Stop out at 20%
European retail leverage (up to 1:30) and professional (up to 1:500)
On FBS Europe account pages, leverage is listed as:
- Up to 1:30 for retail clients
- Up to 1:500 after an update to professional status
This is a major difference in real Forex trading behavior. With 1:30 leverage, margin requirements are far larger than with 1:3000 leverage, so position sizing must be planned differently.
Cent account leverage values
FBS Help Center content states the maximum available leverage on the Cent account as 1:1000.
The right way to interpret this is simple: leverage limits depend on the account type and the entity’s rules. You choose leverage within the allowed range for your account and jurisdiction.
Margin at FBS: how your platform tracks it
FBS Europe’s educational guide explains margin in platform terms and gives a practical definition:
- Margin is the amount of money committed to maintain open leveraged trades.
- The platform shows Balance, Equity, Margin, and Free margin.
- Free margin is calculated as Equity minus Margin.
This matters in Forex trading because your ability to open additional positions (or survive drawdown) depends on free margin, not just balance.
A clean way to think about margin in Forex
- Leverage reduces required margin for the same position size.
- A larger position size consumes more margin.
- Drawdown reduces equity, which reduces free margin.
- Low free margin increases the chance of margin call/stop out events.
Margin call and stop out: the levels that force action
Margin call and stop out rules are not optional details. They determine when a broker warns you or automatically closes positions.
Global-style levels: margin call 40%, stop out 20%
FBS’s global Forex account page and Forex specs page list:
- Margin call at 40%
- Stop out at 20%
This is a tight risk-control structure often used by brokers offering high maximum leverage, because leverage increases the speed at which equity can fall toward margin levels.
European guide levels: margin call 80%, stop out 50%
FBS Europe’s guidebook states:
- Margin call is at 80% and lower
- Stop out equals 50%
These two sets of numbers can both be true because they are tied to different entities, client categories, or platform rule sets.
One more rule traders overlook: these levels can change
FBS’s Trading Conditions PDF states the broker may vary margin percentage, margin call level, and stop out level, and that reduced leverage rules can apply retroactively to existing positions.
Order execution, order types, and trade limits
Execution speed and execution method
FBS’s Forex specs page states order execution from 0.01 seconds.
FBS Europe pages list Market Execution and provide an execution time figure (for example, from 0.03 seconds for Standard and Cent pages).
Order types supported
FBS Europe’s execution policy page lists access to:
- Market orders
- Limit orders
- Stop orders
These cover the practical set most Forex traders use: immediate execution and pending orders for entries and risk control.
Maximum number of open orders
On the FBS global Forex specs page, open positions are listed as up to 500, including 200 pending orders.
On the FBS Europe execution policy page and the account pages, the maximum is shown as up to 400 orders (open + pending) for Standard accounts, with similar figures on the Standard and Cent trading condition lists.
Order volume limits
FBS’s global Forex specs page lists order volume from 0.01 to 500 lots.
FBS Europe lists similar large upper limits on Standard accounts and clarifies that Cent accounts are measured differently (cent-lot sizing), including explicit unit equivalents.
Instruments and market coverage: what you can trade
FBS describes its product range as CFD-based instruments including:
- Forex
- Stocks
- Indices
- Metals
- Energies
On FBS Europe’s account pages, the supported instrument categories are also listed (currency pairs, Forex exotics, metals, indices, energies), and the accounts are described as available on MT5 in that setup.
This matters for trading conditions because spreads, leverage limits, and swap rules can differ by asset class even inside the same broker.
Costs beyond the spread: swaps, conversions, and special charges
Swap (overnight financing)
FBS defines swap-free in relation to swaps: swaps are interest charges (or credits) linked to holding positions overnight, and swap-free removes those swap charges.
Swap-free rules you must know
FBS Help Center explains that swap-free is available across instruments, but Forex Exotic trades use a weekly commission instead of swap.
FBS’s agreement content also states swap-free accounts are provided under specific eligibility terms (Muslim clients).
Commission fees as a category
FBS Europe’s Costs and Charges Policy defines commission fees as fees for opening or closing positions, calculated based on traded volume, and also describes currency conversion fees when profits/losses/fees are in a different currency from the account base currency.
Even if a specific account advertises “commission from zero,” these policy definitions still matter because they describe what fee types can exist inside the trading framework.
Deposits, withdrawals, and protections that affect trading conditions
Trading conditions are not only about charts and spreads. Funding rules affect how you manage margin and risk.
FBS’s Forex account page states:
- Initial deposit from $5
- Instant withdrawals available
- 200+ deposit and withdrawal methods
- Unlimited transactions after full verification
- Negative balance protection
- Swap-free accounts available
On FBS Europe’s Standard and Cent pages, FBS also states that negative balance protection applies in that setup.
For Forex traders, negative balance protection is a key safety rule: it limits the risk of owing money to the broker after extreme market movement, even though it does not prevent losses up to the account balance.
How to choose the right FBS setup for your Forex style
Because FBS conditions vary by entity and account type, your decision should follow a strict trading logic rather than marketing language.
If you want very small position sizing
Choose a Cent account if it is available in your registration route and entity. Cent-lot sizing lets you control exposure and test live execution with smaller trade sizes.
If you want simple pricing and broad access
A Standard account fits traders who prefer spread-based pricing and want normal lot sizing for Forex trading.
If you hold positions overnight and need interest-free handling
Use swap-free if you qualify and want overnight trades without swap charges, while remembering the Forex Exotic weekly commission rule under swap-free.
If you trade with high leverage
High leverage (such as up to 1:3000) increases flexibility but also increases how quickly drawdown can reach margin call and stop out levels. FBS publishes margin call and stop out levels in its global conditions, and it also explains margin mechanics in its educational content.
- FBS offers Standard and Cent-style trading structures, plus demo and swap-free options, with different availability depending on the entity.
- Spreads are floating and can start from 0.7 pips on published Forex specs.
- Global leverage can be listed up to 1:3000, while European retail leverage is shown up to 1:30, with professional up to 1:500 on those pages.
- Margin call and stop out levels are published and differ across setups: global pages show 40% / 20%, while an FBS Europe guide shows 80% / 50%.
- FBS publishes execution and trading limits like execution speed, maximum open orders, and order volume ranges, and these limits also vary by setup.
- Swap-free removes swaps, but Forex Exotic under swap-free can use a weekly commission rule.
How to Open an FBS Account Step by Step for Forex Trading
Opening a Forex trading account with FBS follows a clear sequence: you register your profile, verify your identity so the account can fully operate, create a trading account for MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, fund it through the Personal Area, and then log in to your platform using the broker credentials.
FBS presents account opening as a simple flow—register, verify, deposit, and start trading—but each stage includes a few details that matter if you want your account ready for deposits, withdrawals, and live trading without interruptions.
Step one: register your FBS profile
Choose your registration path
You can open your FBS profile using either:
- The FBS website in a browser
- The FBS app on your phone
Both paths create the same core thing: access to your Personal Area (also called Trader Area), where you manage verification, deposits, withdrawals, and trading accounts.
Complete the registration form
During registration, you provide the basic account identifiers used to access your Personal Area (such as email and other required profile details, depending on the registration form you see). The most important rule at this stage is simple: the profile data must match your identity documents, because verification later is built around document matching.
After registration, you can log in to your Personal Area and move to verification and trading account creation.
Step two: verify your Trader Area so the account can fully operate
Verification is not a side step. FBS links verification directly to account safety, protection of personal data and funds, and smooth withdrawals.
What verification includes at FBS
FBS describes a verification flow built around:
- Identity document verification (passport, ID card, or driving license)
- A liveness check using your camera
- Verified status shown on your dashboard when approved
Start verification from the Personal Area
FBS lists a guided process to verify the Trader Area, beginning from the Personal Area interface and using a “Get verified” entry point in the funding flow. The steps include selecting your identity document type and issuing country, then continuing through the identity checks.
Why the liveness check matters
The liveness check is designed to confirm the real account owner is completing verification. This protects your Forex account from being opened or controlled by someone using copied documents.
What “verified” changes for Forex trading
Once your profile is verified, the account is ready for normal operations: funding, withdrawals, and full access to account features that brokers typically restrict for unverified profiles. FBS ties verification to smooth withdrawal handling in its own process description.
Step three: create your trading account for MetaTrader
Your FBS profile is your control center, but your trading account is what you use inside MetaTrader to place and manage Forex trades. This is where you get the login credentials that connect your platform to FBS servers.
Choose MT4 or MT5 based on how you trade
FBS supports both:
- MetaTrader 4 for classic Forex trading workflows
- MetaTrader 5 for a newer MetaTrader setup with additional features and structure
The platform choice does not change your Personal Area, but it does determine where you log in and which server entry you select in the terminal.
Get your trading credentials (login, password, server)
FBS explains that when you create a trading account, you receive a login and password, and the password can be shown immediately after account creation in a pop-up window for MT5-related onboarding.
FBS also explains the password handling logic for MetaTrader onboarding: the trading password is provided during trading account registration, and if you did not save it, you can create a new password inside your Personal Area.
Store trading credentials correctly
For Forex trading, treat these as separate access layers:
- Personal Area password controls deposits, withdrawals, verification actions, and account management
- Trading account password controls trading access inside MT4/MT5 (placing orders)
Keeping them separate is part of good security practice, and it also prevents confusion when logging in.
Step four: install MetaTrader and log in to your FBS trading account
Once the trading account exists, the next step is logging in on the trading platform.
Log in on MetaTrader desktop
FBS Help Center describes the desktop login path in MetaTrader:
- Go to File
- Select Login to Trade Account
- Enter the account number in the Login field
- Enter the trading password (or investor password for read-only access)
- Select the correct server name from the list
This is the exact step that connects your Forex terminal to the broker server.
If you see “Invalid Account”
FBS describes a common cause: entering incorrect credentials or selecting the wrong server. It also states you can find credentials in the confirmation email or on your account card in the Trader Area.
The practical point: server selection matters as much as the login and password.
Step five: deposit funds into your FBS trading account
Your trading account can exist with zero balance, but Forex trading with real orders requires margin, and margin comes from deposited funds.
FBS describes deposits through the Personal Area using the Finances section.
Deposit via the FBS Personal Area
FBS provides a clear deposit sequence:
- Click Finances
- Choose Deposit
- Select a payment method
- Select the trading account you want to deposit to
- Provide the required information
- Enter the amount
- Select the currency
- Confirm the deposit
FBS also states deposits can be made in the FBS app, using a similar flow.
Minimum deposit used in FBS onboarding
FBS states that the minimum amount you can deposit is $5.
That makes account funding accessible, but it also means risk management must be tight, because small balances can hit margin pressure faster.
What happens after the deposit
After your deposit is credited, that balance becomes the funds your platform uses for:
- Opening positions
- Covering margin requirements
- Handling floating profit and loss while trades are open
Step six: confirm your account is ready for withdrawals
Many traders focus on opening and funding, then only think about withdrawals later. In practice, withdrawal readiness is part of correct account opening, because it depends on verification and correct payment-method handling.
FBS describes withdrawals through the same Personal Area menu:
- Click Finances
- Choose Withdrawal
- Select a payment method
- Select the trading account you want to withdraw from
- Provide the required information
- Enter the withdrawal amount
- Confirm the withdrawal
Card withdrawals can require card images
FBS states that for withdrawal via card, you upload the back and front sides of your card copy in the withdrawal process.
This is part of the broker’s payment verification controls, and it is normal in Forex brokerage operations.
Step seven: create the right structure if you plan to trade more than one strategy
Many Forex traders do not use only one trading style. You might want one account for manual intraday trades and another for longer-term positions, or one account for a specific expert advisor and another for discretionary trading.
Because FBS separates your Personal Area from your trading accounts, you can hold multiple trading accounts under one profile and fund them through the Finances menu by selecting the specific account for each deposit.
A clean structure looks like this:
- One verified profile (Personal Area)
- Separate trading accounts (MT4 and/or MT5), each with its own login, password, and server
- Funding directed to the specific trading account you plan to trade
This keeps trade history, risk, and margin organized by account.
A complete step-by-step checklist for opening an FBS Forex account
Here is the full process in a single practical checklist, from start to trading:
Create your profile
- Register on the FBS website or in the FBS app
- Log in to your Personal Area
Verify your profile
- Start verification from your Trader Area flow
- Submit your identity document details (passport, ID card, or driving license)
- Complete the camera-based liveness check
- Confirm verified status on the dashboard when approved
Create a trading account
- Create an MT4 or MT5 trading account
- Save the login, password, and server
- If you did not save the password, reset it from the Personal Area
Install MetaTrader and log in
- Open MetaTrader and use Login to Trade Account
- Enter login, trading password, and select the correct server
Deposit funds
- Go to Finances → Deposit
- Select method, account, amount, currency, then confirm
- Minimum deposit can be $5
Start Forex trading
- Confirm live quotes are streaming
- Add the Forex symbols you want to trade
- Place your first order and monitor margin and free margin in the platform
Prepare for withdrawals
- Use Finances → Withdrawal when needed
- If withdrawing to a card, upload the required card images inside the withdrawal flow
Practical notes that keep your account opening smooth
Use matching personal details from the start
Verification is built around matching your profile details to your documents and liveness check. Enter your personal data accurately during registration so you do not create avoidable friction later.
Save your trading password immediately
FBS explains that trading passwords are presented during account creation and can be time-limited in visibility in the onboarding flow, and that the Personal Area can be used to create a new password if you did not store the original.
Keep the server name with your login details
MetaTrader login is not only login and password. The server selection must match your account. FBS highlights credential and server checks as a key fix for login errors.
Treat deposits as part of your risk plan
The deposit is not just “money added.” It defines your usable margin. FBS explains that deposits are the funds used for trading in the app and MetaTrader.
If you plan to trade Forex with leverage, your balance must be sized to handle normal drawdowns without triggering margin pressure.
Opening a Forex account with FBS is complete only when all operational pieces are in place:
- Your profile is created and accessible in the Personal Area
- Verification is completed with document checks and liveness confirmation
- A trading account is created for MT4 or MT5, with saved credentials
- Funds are deposited through Finances so you can trade with margin
- MetaTrader is connected using login, password, and correct server
- Withdrawal flow is understood, including card-document upload when required
Follow these steps in order and your FBS account is properly opened for Forex trading, funded, and ready for normal deposits and withdrawals.
