- Raw+: MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5, spread from 0.0 pips, $3.50 per lot per side.
cTrader and Elite account arrangements
cTrader accounts keep the raw-spread model: 0.0 pips as the published floor, with a commission of $3.50 per lot per side. This platform is associated with depth-of-market pricing and cTrader tools. Elite is intended for high-volume traders.
Reading the quoted spread figures
The figures of 1.2 pips on Standard and 0.0 pips on Raw+ and cTrader are minimums, not averages. For the live number, use the quote board: Market Watch in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 shows live bid and ask, with spread as an optional column; cTrader quotes depth-of-market pricing for each symbol. Spreads change with market conditions, so the figure visible when an order goes in matters at that moment.
Swaps and charges outside the trade
A position kept open beyond the close of the trading day incurs a swap; each instrument and each direction has its own rate. The current long and short values appear in the instrument specification in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, in cTrader's symbol information, and in FxPro Direct. According to FxPro, a swap-free version of the account exists.
Deposits and withdrawals are each listed at $0. After 6 months without activity, an inactivity fee applies; the amount is shown in FxPro Direct. A bank or e-wallet may still add a charge of its own when funding.
- Deposits: $0
