Introduction
As we close out the year and prepare for new market opportunities ahead, we want to share an optional trading account upgrade that can enhance your trading experience—especially for clients using our martingale EA strategy.
This update is designed to improve capital efficiency, margin safety, and long-term trading stability, while also unlocking exclusive benefits for our clients.
Why Consider an FBS Standard Account?
1. Optimised for Our Martingale EA
Our martingale EA is designed to perform best with an adequate capital buffer.
For this reason, we recommend a minimum capital of USD 2,000, which aligns naturally with the FBS Standard account structure.
This helps:
- Improve trade execution
- Reduce stress during drawdowns
- Enhance overall strategy stability
2. Higher Leverage = More Margin Flexibility
With an FBS Standard account, clients can access leverage up to 1:2000 when the account balance is below USD 5,000. Compared with the Cent Account, now we only get leverage of 1:1000.
Another thing to take note of is the standard account leverage change when the account balance changes. You can refer to the FBS Account Leverage for more info.
Higher leverage does not mean higher risk by default. When used correctly, it provides:
- More available margin
- Greater buffer before margin call
- Better resilience during volatile market phases
This additional runway is especially valuable for grid and martingale-based strategies.
3. Free Account Change (No License Reset)
If your EA license is still valid, you may:
- Apply to move to a new FBS Standard account through this License Change Form
- Transfer your EA license for free
- Keep the same license expiry date
There is no additional charge for this change.
Exclusive Benefit for Standard Account Clients
As with the New Year promotion till the end of Jan 2026, for those clients who have their license already expired and would like to purchase a new license, Clients who purchase new license with an FBS Standard account attached to us will enjoy:
🎁 40% discount on the EA purchases
For those with a still valid license, and you submitted a license change to the FBS standard account by the end of Jan 2026. You will be entitled for 40% discount on your next license renewal.
This promotion only applies to FBS accounts and customers.

- The standard account is attached to our account.
- The trading account remains a Standard account under FBS
