PrimeXBT, a global multi-asset broker serving over 150 countries, announced on 11 August 2026 the launch of a Cent Account for its MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform. This new account is denominated in US cents instead of US dollars, enabling traders to engage in live markets with much smaller position sizes and reduced financial risk. This addition completes PrimeXBT’s MT5 account offerings, which now include Cent, Standard, ZeroStop, and Pro accounts. The Cent Account is designed to support traders transitioning from demo environments to live trading.
Key Points
- PrimeXBT (FNEWS) — a global multi-asset broker and crypto asset service provider established in 2018
- Launch of MT5 Cent Account denominated in US cents (USC) to minimize financial exposure per trade
- Supports leverage up to 1:1000 and offers trading in Forex Majors and Minors, Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin and Ethereum CFDs
- Market observers will track how the expanded MT5 account range impacts client acquisition across PrimeXBT’s user base spanning 150 countries
Understanding PrimeXBT’s MT5 Cent Account Denomination
With the Cent Account, balances and positions are displayed in US cents within the MT5 platform. For example, a $10 deposit appears as 1,000 USC on MT5, while the client’s Personal Area still shows the balance in US dollars for clarity. Lot sizes are adjusted accordingly; one lot on the Cent Account equals roughly 0.01 of a Standard lot or 100,000 cents. This setup allows traders to participate in authentic live market conditions while maintaining significantly smaller position sizes compared to Standard accounts.
Assets and Features Accessible via the Cent Account
The Cent Account grants access to Forex Majors and Minors, Gold, Silver, and CFDs on Bitcoin and Ethereum. It supports leverage up to 1:1000, includes swap-free options, and qualifies for bonus programs under the same conditions as other MT5 accounts offered by PrimeXBT. This account caters to beginners, cautious traders, and experienced traders testing new strategies by providing live market exposure with lower position sizes than Standard, ZeroStop, or Pro accounts.
Jonatan Randin Highlights the Psychological Transition from Demo to Live Trading
Jonatan Randin, Senior Market Analyst at PrimeXBT, emphasized that shifting from demo to live trading is one of the biggest psychological challenges traders face. He stated that the Cent Account serves as an effective intermediate step, allowing traders to experience real market dynamics with reduced position sizes. Randin noted that traders can gradually advance through PrimeXBT’s MT5 account types as their confidence and skills grow, positioning the Cent Account as a transitional tool rather than a permanent solution.
PrimeXBT’s Expanding MT5 Ecosystem and Multi-Asset Platform Approach
Operating both its native PXTrader 2.0 platform and MetaTrader 5, PrimeXBT offers trading in Forex, CFDs on indices, commodities, shares, crypto, crypto futures, and direct cryptocurrency buying, storage, and exchange. Since its 2018 inception, the broker has served clients across more than 150 countries. The Cent Account launch reflects PrimeXBT’s ongoing commitment to broadening its trading ecosystem with flexible account options. Investors will be watching to see if the expanded MT5 account lineup drives increased active trader growth on the platform.
