At a glance

Cent, Standard and Pro accounts offer different ways to approach trade sizing and costs. This profile is a starting point for comparing the service with your own requirements. It does not replace the company’s current client agreement or product schedule.

Platforms and account choice

MetaTrader 4 · MetaTrader 5 are the platform options covered in this overview. Check that the account you open supports the platform, instrument and trading approach you intend to use. Availability can vary by company and country.

Before funding, use a demo to practise placing and cancelling orders, changing position size and locating the instrument specifications. Check whether the desktop, web and mobile versions provide the order types you need.

Trading costs

Compare spread-based Standard pricing with commission and spread conditions on Pro.

Compare total cost over a complete trade: entry and exit spread, commission and any financing for the expected holding period. Review currency-conversion, payment and inactivity charges separately. Advertised “from” spreads are minimum conditions, not a promise for every trade.

Regulation and the contracting entity

The website identifies JAROCEL PTY LTD, FSCA licence 52108. Check whether this is the company in your agreement.

Confirm the company name, licence number, domain and contact details on the regulator’s register. Check whether client-money rules, negative-balance protection or a compensation scheme apply to your specific account; a group-level licence does not automatically cover every group company.

Funding and withdrawals

Review the payment methods displayed after selecting your country. Confirm minimum amounts, processing times and possible third-party fees. Make sure you understand identity checks and any requirement to withdraw through the original funding method.

Our comparison take

Headway is worth evaluating if cent / standard / pro and MetaTrader 4 · MetaTrader 5 match your requirements. Compare the account’s full cost and local entity against alternatives before deciding. A promotion should be considered only after the underlying account is suitable.

Headway: common questions

Is Headway available in my country?

The requirement can depend on the account and payment method. Confirm the amount shown by the provider for your selected account before transferring funds.
