Cent accounts: what are they actually for?

A cent account measures balances in cents, so a $10 deposit behaves like a $1,000 account and 0.01 lots like a standard lot. It's a bridge between demo and live for very small budgets — with its own quirks.

Have you used one?

• the broker and how the pricing worked
• whether it felt like demo or like real trading
• what you'd warn a beginner about

Cent accounts aren't offered everywhere, and the psychological realism is the point, not the profit.
