The FXTM account guide: copy trading and a low-risk cent-account start
FXTM offers copy-trading tools and flexible cent accounts. What to know before you sign up.
What FXTM is
FXTM (ForexTime) is a regulated broker known for its copy-trading tools and cent accounts, which let traders start with small real-money amounts before scaling into standard-sized trading.
Account & verification tiers
- Registration — basic details for demo access.
- Identity verification — government ID and proof of address, required before live deposits and withdrawals.
- Account type — Cent, Standard or ECN, with cent accounts denominated in 1/100th of the standard currency unit for lower-risk practice.
Verification is usually quick once documents show a matching, current address.
Why people choose it
- Copy trading. Follow experienced traders directly through FXTM's copy-trading tools.
- Cent accounts. A genuinely low-stakes way to trade with real money while building experience.
- Regulated status. Overseen by multiple regulators depending on the entity you register with.
Where the friction usually is
Traders new to cent accounts sometimes misread their balance or position sizing since values are shown in cents rather than the standard unit — worth understanding before you deposit. Document mismatches between ID and registration details are the most common verification delay.
Where we help
We handle registration and document verification, explain how cent-account math works before you fund it, and help you set up copy trading if that's part of your plan. Once active, we hand over a short usage guide.
