EBC keeps things simple with just two accounts. Here’s how to choose between Standard and Professional.
Step 1: Confirm both accounts share the same product access
Both Standard and Professional carry access to the same 200+ CFD product range, per our EBC overview — you’re choosing a cost profile, not different market access.
Step 2: Calculate your own break-even point
Compare the two accounts’ spread and commission structure against your expected trading volume to find the point where Professional’s tighter pricing actually pays for any added cost — a genuinely calculable number rather than a guess.
Step 3: Default to Standard until that break-even point is clear
Until you’ve actually calculated where Professional pays off for your specific volume, Standard remains the simpler, equally valid choice at EBC.
Putting it together
Since both accounts share identical product access, the decision comes down purely to cost structure at your expected trading volume — calculate the break-even point directly rather than assuming “Professional” is automatically the better choice just because of its name.
