In general.
Cents account could be good for training.
Be it is the most important to find suitable broker and account.
I have wasted many good strategies that would otherwise work great just by using bad cent account with high spread and lot of slippage.
On the other hand if strategy survived even such terrible conditions it was indeed robust one.

I am currently trading with microlots. That's what I need but occasionally I have been thinking of testing with nanolots.

I personally wouldn't use a cent account for my trading. Don't know why, just don't really like them.

Just recently I got closed position 100 pips after stoploss :) on cent account of course

So it is good to use such shit broker to make your strategies robust
it is bad as it kills average strategies

Example.

you have 1000USD on a standard account

and 1000 USD = 10.000 Cent on a Cent account.

if you set your EA with the same settings you will have a much lower DD . Mor Margin and most likely the cent Account will survive in a worst case scenario.

Cent account is good for surviving. If you are a new trader, should try.

Cents account can be a bit confusing I guess. For me, personally, it's much more convenient to trade trditionally with dollars account. Nevertheless, you're not restricted in such ability and if your broker permits trading on a cent account, then you can do it. The maind idea here is to provide you with all conveniences in order to let you be concentrated on trading activity. I think that every trader has a right to trade whatever he/she wants it. To my mind, brokers also should be quite responsible in this case and offer traders a variety of options towards account choices. You're right, that everybody trades according to his/her personal wishes.
