Minimum Deposit Requirements for Eightcap India

Understanding Eightcap Minimum Deposit Structure

Our company maintains a straightforward minimum deposit requirement of $100 (approximately ₹8,300) for all new trading accounts in India. This deposit threshold applies to both Standard and Raw account types we offer. The minimum amount ensures traders can access our full range of trading instruments while maintaining reasonable capital requirements.

We designed this deposit structure to accommodate various trader profiles in India. New traders benefit from the accessible entry point, while experienced traders appreciate the flexibility. Our minimum deposit covers margin requirements for most currency pairs and CFD instruments available on our platform.

The $100 minimum applies regardless of your chosen funding method. Whether you deposit via bank transfer, credit card, or digital wallet, the same threshold requirement remains consistent. This standardization simplifies the account opening process for Indian traders.

Deposit Methods Available:

• Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards
• Bank wire transfers through Indian banks
• Skrill and Neteller e-wallets
• Cryptocurrency deposits (Bitcoin, Ethereum)
• Local Indian payment processors

We process most deposits instantly, allowing immediate access to trading platforms. Bank transfers typically require 1-2 business days for processing. Our system automatically converts INR deposits to your selected account currency at competitive exchange rates.

Step-by-Step Deposit Process for Indian Traders

Accessing Your Trading Dashboard

Log into your Eightcap account using credentials received during registration. Navigate to the “Funds” section located in the main menu. Select “Deposit” from the available options to begin the funding process.

Our dashboard displays your current account balance in your chosen base currency. You can switch between different account currencies if you maintain multiple trading accounts. The interface shows pending deposits and transaction history for complete transparency.

Selecting Payment Methods

Choose your preferred payment method from the available options. Credit cards offer instant processing but may incur small fees. Bank transfers provide fee-free deposits but require additional processing time.

E-wallet options like Skrill and Neteller offer middle-ground solutions with moderate fees and quick processing. Cryptocurrency deposits provide enhanced privacy but may involve price volatility during processing.

Completing Deposit Transactions

Enter your deposit amount ensuring it meets the $100 minimum requirement. Our system automatically calculates any applicable fees and displays the final amount. Confirm transaction details before proceeding to payment processing.

Follow the secure payment gateway instructions for your chosen method. We use SSL encryption and comply with Indian financial regulations. Transaction confirmations arrive via email within minutes of successful processing.

Account Currency Options and Conversion Rates

We offer multiple base currencies for Indian traders including USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD. Your chosen currency affects minimum deposit calculations and ongoing trading costs. USD accounts provide the most straightforward experience for international trading.

Our system applies real-time exchange rates when converting INR deposits to your account currency. We use interbank rates with minimal spreads to ensure competitive conversion costs. Rate fluctuations during processing are absorbed by our company.

Available Account Currencies:

• US Dollar (USD) – Most popular choice
• Euro (EUR) – European market focus
• British Pound (GBP) – UK market access
• Australian Dollar (AUD) – Asia-Pacific trading

Currency selection impacts your trading costs and profit calculations. USD accounts typically offer tighter spreads on major currency pairs. EUR accounts benefit traders focusing on European markets and instruments.

Leverage Options and Margin Requirements

Our platform offers flexible leverage from 1:10 to 1:500 for Indian traders. Higher leverage reduces required margin but increases risk exposure. We recommend conservative leverage settings for new traders starting with minimum deposits.

The $100 minimum deposit supports various leverage configurations. At 1:100 leverage, you can control positions worth $10,000. Higher leverage ratios allow larger position sizes but require careful risk management.

Margin Calculation Examples

Standard lot trading (100,000 units) requires different margin amounts based on your leverage setting. At 1:100 leverage, EUR/USD positions need approximately $1,000 margin. Lower leverage ratios require proportionally higher margin amounts.

Our platform automatically calculates required margins for each trade. The system prevents order execution if insufficient margin exists. Real-time margin monitoring helps maintain account health and prevents forced liquidations.

Risk Management Tools

We provide built-in risk management features including stop-loss orders and take-profit levels. These tools help protect your capital when trading with minimum deposits. Position sizing calculators ensure appropriate risk per trade.

Our negative balance protection prevents account balances from falling below zero. This feature particularly benefits traders using higher leverage ratios. Margin call notifications alert you when additional funds are needed.
