Conclusion
Especially for beginner traders, it is recommended to trade on a sub-account of FBS, as it allows you to experience real trading with minimal risk。Seeing a $1 balance converted to 100 cents may make you feel like you're trading a regular account。However, the profit you can make from the sub-account is relatively small。If you are a professional trader and want to make a decent profit, then sub-accounts are only suitable for testing strategies。
Nevertheless, FBS's sub-accounts have many advantages, such as high leverage, no commissions, low deposits and Islamic account options。This can help you increase your profit opportunities。
