Account Types

There are three categories of live trading accounts at Prodigy Markets: Basic, Elite, and Pro. All accounts use MT5, facilitate market execution, and let you use Expert Advisors (EAs). The broker also offers service 24 hours a day, five days a week, although the site doesn't clearly say anything about demo accounts or Islamic (swap-free) accounts.

Leverage

On its Basic account, Prodigy gives you leverage of up to 1:400. On its Elite and Pro accounts, you may get up to 1:300. High leverage can make returns bigger, but it also makes danger much higher. Leverage makes both gains and losses bigger. If you don't limit your risks properly, it might quickly drain your account.

Prodigy Fees

Compared to other companies in the same field, Prodigy's trading fees are ordinary to a little high. The Basic and Elite accounts don't charge any commissions, although their spreads are rather large. The Pro account has spreads that are almost nothing, but it charges $10 each lot.
