Account types
Four tiers, and the difference between them is narrower than most brokers pretend. What changes is where the cost sits and what you need to open one. Execution, instruments and leverage are identical.

Turbo — the highest leverage we offer
Leverage up to 1:3000 on forex and 1:1000 on gold, with STP execution. It is the newest account and the only one where leverage is set from your equity rather than fixed when you open the account.
1:3000 is the top of a sliding scale, not a flat cap. Leverage is derived from account equity and steps down as equity grows — 1:3000 applies while equity is under $1,000, and by $100,000 it is 1:100. The table is the entire scale. We would rather you saw the steps before opening the account than discover them after a deposit.
Minimum first deposit is $100. Swap-free is available on request, as on any tier. Deposit bonuses do not apply to Turbo.
| Account equity | Forex | Gold |
|---|---|---|
| $10 – $999 | 1:3000 | 1:1000 |
| $1,000 – $2,999 | 1:2000 | 1:500 |
| $3,000 – $4,999 | 1:1000 | 1:500 |
| $5,000 – $49,999 | 1:500 | 1:300 |
| $50,000 – $99,999 | 1:300 | 1:200 |
| $100,000+ | 1:100 | 1:100 |
Standard — the default, and the right one for most people
No commission. The entire cost sits in the spread, which is a little wider than on Zero.
It is the account most of our clients hold, and for a reason: one cost, nothing to calculate, and the result of a trade reads directly off the platform. If you are opening your first account, open this one.
Minimum first deposit is $100.
Cent — the same account with the decimal moved
Balances are denominated in cents, so a $100 deposit shows as 10,000. Position sizes scale down to match, which means the smallest trade you can place risks roughly a hundredth of what it would on a Standard account.
That is its whole purpose: trading with real money at a size where mistakes cost very little. The psychological difference between demo and live is real, and this is the cheapest way to cross it.
Same $100 minimum. Same spreads, same instruments.
Zero — raw pricing with a commission
Spreads start at 0.0 pips and you pay a commission per lot traded instead. When volume is high the total cost is usually lower than Standard, because the saving on spread is multiplied across every trade while the commission stays proportional.
It suits scalping, automated strategies and anyone trading large size. It is worse value if you place a few trades a day, because you take on the mental overhead of two cost components for a saving that never materialises.
Minimum first deposit is $500 — the account does not activate below that, so choose it deliberately rather than discovering the threshold at the deposit screen.
VIP — for size
The tightest pricing we offer, with a $100,000 minimum. It exists for accounts trading at a scale where a fraction of a pip is material.
If you are asking whether you need it, you do not.
What is identical across all of them
Execution, instruments, MT4 and MT5, and our published trading rules — scalping, hedging and Expert Advisors are permitted on every tier. Leverage is the one thing that is not identical: Turbo reaches 1:3000 on forex and 1:1000 on gold, Standard, Cent and Zero reach 1:500, and VIP 1:100.
Swap-free status is available on request on any account type. It is applied to your individual account rather than granted by tier, so ask support to confirm it is active on your account number before holding a position overnight.
There is no hidden premium tier with better pricing reserved for large balances beyond the published ones. The structure is the same for everyone within each type.
Choosing without guessing
Estimate the lots you will trade in a month. Multiply by the Standard spread on your usual pair, then compare against the Zero spread plus commission for the same volume. The cheaper number is your answer.
If you do not have that figure yet because you are starting out, open Standard. You can add a second account of another type under the same profile later and move funds between them.
Common questions
How many account types does TNFX have?
Five: Standard, Cent, Turbo, Zero and VIP. Turbo is the newest and carries the highest leverage. ECN is not one of them — it is a legacy MT5 group, and Zero is the raw-spread account.
What leverage does the Turbo account offer?
Up to 1:3000 on forex and 1:1000 on gold. Other instruments and other account types are lower — 1:500 on Standard, Cent and Zero, 1:100 on VIP, and 1:100 on indices and energy throughout. Higher leverage reduces the margin a position locks and reduces the adverse move it survives, in the same proportion.
What is the minimum deposit for each?
$100 for Standard and Cent, $500 for Zero, $100,000 for VIP. After your first deposit, later top-ups have a $10 minimum on any account.
What is a Cent account for?
Balances are shown in cents, so positions are around a hundred times smaller in real terms. It lets you trade real money at a size where mistakes are cheap.
Is Zero cheaper than Standard?
Only at volume. Spreads from 0.0 plus a per-lot commission beats a wider spread when you trade a lot; below that it is more complexity for no saving.
Can I get a swap-free account on any type?
Yes, on request. It is applied to your individual account rather than by tier, so confirm it is active on your account before holding overnight.
Can I have more than one type?
Yes. Open several accounts under one profile and transfer funds between them.
Do you offer an ECN account?
Zero is the raw-spread account: pricing from 0.0 pips with a commission per lot. Some older references to an 'ECN' account refer to this.
