Skilling: EU accounts, platform connections, funding and conversion costs

The CFD menu covers forex, shares, indices, commodities and crypto. Standard’s commission-free description applies to its FX and spot-metal pricing; crypto has a separate schedule. Premium can be qualified for through trading volume as an alternative to the larger deposit, so the two entry criteria should not be combined into a single requirement.[3][8]

A USD-denominated account trading EUR/USD does not need to convert a USD trading result into another account currency. An EUR account trading the same pair does. Skilling’s conversion example adjusts the exchange rate used at closure, so the fee should not be described as 2% of the whole position value. The separate unleveraged crypto schedule also means that removing leverage does not remove every recurring charge.[6][4]

MT4 requires a separate trading account: an existing MT4 account cannot be linked to Skilling Trader. A new MT4 account can be created from the account menu. This differs from the explicitly shared Trader/cTrader arrangement and from TradingView, which connects after support activation.[20][7][9]

Withdrawals are made in the account’s base currency and normally return through the funding method. Card profits above the deposited amount use a bank transfer or another previously used payment route. For inactivity, the current agreement allows a fee to be introduced after six months without deposits, withdrawals or trading, following notification; it does not set a standing monthly amount.[12][11][13]

Skilling acts as principal and remains the counterparty even when it sends orders to external liquidity providers. Its execution policy names Skilling as the sole execution venue and permits market-price liquidation at the 50% stop-out level. Client funds are segregated, and the retail terms provide negative balance protection. Eligible ICF claims use the lower of 90% of covered claims and €20,000 per client.[14][13][18][19]

EU support is advertised Monday to Friday, 07:00–22:00 CET, through live chat, telephone and email. The telephone number is +357 22 276 710 and the email address is [email protected].[15]

Skilling’s February 2026 policy distinguishes an enquiry to [email protected] or live chat from a formal complaint. Support aims to resolve enquiries within five business days. An unresolved enquiry can be reclassified by asking for the complaint form and sending it, with supporting records, to [email protected]. Telephone complaints must subsequently be put in writing.[21]
