Trading financial markets at a glance
- Weltrade gives you 100+ instruments across six asset classes from one account: Forex (37 currency pairs), Metals (gold and silver), Commodities/Energies, Indices, Stocks (traded as CFDs) and 15 cryptocurrencies.
- You trade these markets as CFDs (Contracts for Difference), so you can go long if you expect a price to rise or short if you expect it to fall — without owning the underlying asset.
- CFDs use leverage of up to 1:1000, which magnifies both gains and losses — CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
- Indicative spreads give you a feel for costs: EUR/USD from 0.5 and GBP/USD from 0.8 on the Pro account, XAU/USD (Gold) from 0.2, and US30 from 2.0; commission is $0 on all account types.
- You trade every market on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 (Windows, macOS, web, iOS, Android) or the Weltrade mobile app — one login, one platform, all asset classes side by side.
- Start on a free, unlimited demo to learn how each market moves with virtual funds, then open a live account (Cent from $1, Premium/Pro from $25) when you are ready to trade real money — only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions
What can I trade?
Forex, shares, indices, metals, commodities and crypto as CFDs.
Do I need experience?
No, but practise on a free demo first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
What can I actually trade at Weltrade?
You get 100+ instruments across six asset classes from a single account: Forex (37 currency pairs), Metals (Gold and Silver), Commodities and Energies, Indices, Stocks as CFDs, and 15 cryptocurrencies. You can trade all of them on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, so you don't need a separate account for each market.
What does it mean to trade markets "as CFDs"?
A CFD (Contract for Difference) lets you trade on a price movement without owning the underlying asset. If you expect a price to rise you go long (buy); if you expect it to fall you go short (sell). This is how you can trade shares, indices, gold or crypto with one Weltrade account. CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage, so size your positions carefully.
How does leverage work when I trade these markets?
Leverage up to 1:1000 lets you open a larger position than your deposit alone would allow. It magnifies both profits and losses in equal measure — a small move against you can wipe out a large part of your balance. Start with small positions, understand the risk on each trade, and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
Which account should I choose to start trading?
If you want to start small and learn with real money at low risk, the Cent account opens from $1 (MT4 only). If you want tighter spreads and both platforms, Premium opens from $25 (spread from 1.5) and Pro opens from $25 (spread from 0.5). Commission is $0 on every account, and a swap-free option is available.
How do I know how much a trade will cost?
Your main cost is the spread — the difference between the buy and sell price. As a guide, on the Pro account EUR/USD is from 0.5 and GBP/USD from 0.8, Gold (XAU/USD) is from 0.2, and US30 is from 2.0; BTC/USD uses a floating spread. Spreads vary by account type and market conditions, and commission is $0 on all accounts.
I've never traded before — where should I begin?
Begin on the free, unlimited demo. It uses virtual funds so you can learn how forex, metals, indices, stocks and crypto move, and how to place buy (long) and sell (short) orders in MT4 or MT5, with zero financial risk. When you understand how the markets behave and can manage risk, open a live account and start with a small amount you can afford to lose.
