The agreement determines which company provides your account, which instruments you can trade and the applicable protections. Do not assume that every entity in a broker group offers identical terms.

Costs worth checking

Compare spreads, commission, overnight financing and conversion costs together. Check whether a commission is per side or round turn and whether inactivity or withdrawal charges apply. An advertised minimum spread is not a measured average.
