FxPro Spreads & Trading Costs — FxPro Thailand

Real measured Raw+ spreads and cost

The median spread, all-in cost and how the spread compares with an independent interbank reference feed, measured on FxPro’s own MT5 Raw+ feed — first-hand, not advertised:

‘All-in (pips)’ is also your break-even — the move needed to cover spread plus commission. ‘vs reference’ compares our measured spread with an independent interbank reference feed over the same hours; a negative number means FxPro’s spread was tighter. The round-turn cost is about $77.3 per $1,000,000 traded on EUR/USD. This page is the Standard-vs-Raw+ cost overview; for the live, hour-by-hour measured spread feed see our live spreads page.

How much a trade costs: Standard vs Raw+

Approximate cost for a round-turn standard lot (100,000 units), in USD. Raw+ / cTrader commission is $3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 round turn) on Raw+ and cTrader accounts. Pip values and spreads are variable — confirm live figures in your platform. Last updated 2026-06-20.

Typical FxPro spreads (all instruments)

Indicative spreads. Metals and indices use different contract sizes — see our gold page for XAU/USD costs.

How a spread becomes a cost

The spread is the gap between the buy and sell price of a contract for difference (CFD). You pay it on entry: spread (in pips) × the pip value of one lot equals your cost. On a Standard account that spread is your whole trading cost; on Raw+ you pay a tighter raw spread plus the $7 round-turn commission. Compare the two on our Raw+ account, MT4 and MT5 pages.

The record you can only take with you before you go

The thing a broker change destroys quietly is evidence. While the old account is open you can still see which instruments you traded, in what sizes and how often; once it closes you are left with an impression. An impression is exactly what produces a bad comparison, because it keeps the trades that stood out and drops the ones that merely repeated. Take the list before the switch, not after it.

Three columns are enough and not one of them is a price: the instruments you actually opened positions on, the size you most often used, and how many times each name appeared. Prices you can read here whenever you like; your own behaviour you cannot. Traders who skip this step end up comparing a new broker against a memory of the previous one at its best, which is a comparison nobody can win and nobody can lose.

A headline pair is everybody's pair and nobody's basket

Cost arguments are almost always settled on EUR/USD, because it is the instrument every broker quotes tightest and therefore the one everybody advertises. If the list from the previous section is mostly majors, that argument is close enough to yours to be useful. If it holds metals, indices or minor crosses, the headline tells you very little: an account that looks dearer on the busiest pair in the world can be the cheaper one across the instruments you personally hold.

The per-instrument rows above are meant to be read selectively. Take the three or four names off your own list, read their rows, and add the commission wherever the account charges one, at $3.50 per lot per side and so $7.00 across a round turn on Raw+ and cTrader, or read the all-in figure straight from the table where it is given. A verdict assembled from your own four rows survives contact with your first month. A verdict assembled from one famous row usually does not.

A number you can recite is a number without a date

Most traders can quote their own spread from memory, and that number is the most portable thing in a broker change, which is precisely the problem, because it is also the least transferable. It was an average of one broker's conditions over one period, and it is usually remembered from the calm end of the range. Carried into a new account it becomes a standard the new account is silently measured against, and every ordinary widening starts to read as evidence that something here is wrong.

The habit worth breaking in the first weeks is recital. Read the figure rather than recall it, and let the account build a record of its own before you form a view. Spreads are variable everywhere, so what you are looking for is not a constant but a shape: which of your instruments sit tight and stay tight, which of them widen when the market thins, and whether that pattern is one your method can live with. That question only has a forward-looking answer.

Check the names before you plan around the prices

The assumption that quietly wastes the most time in a first week is that an instrument you traded for years exists here in the form you remember. Naming conventions are a house style. The same underlying market can appear under a different symbol, sit in a different class, or be quoted against a different second currency, and none of that is visible from a name you recognise at a glance.

So the order is names first, then prices. Take your own list, find each name here, and check the contract behind it rather than the label on it - a standard lot of an FX major is 100,000 units and a lot of gold is 100 ounces, and a class change is what turns a familiar size into an unfamiliar amount of money. An instrument that turns out to be absent, or to be a different contract than you assumed, is worth knowing on day one. It is a poor discovery to make with a position already open.

Where the money went at the old broker is a question with an expiry date

There is a short window, while the previous account is still readable, when a genuinely useful question can be answered: how much of last year actually went on the cost of getting in and out. Not an estimate and not a rate - the real total, taken from your own record. Once the account closes that number becomes unavailable permanently, and every later conversation about whether the move was worth it has to be conducted on impressions.

It is also the number that tells you how much any of this deserves to matter. A trader whose entry costs were a rounding error against everything else that happened to the balance has just learned that the pricing model is not their live problem, and can choose an account here in a couple of minutes with a clear conscience. A trader for whom it was a substantial line has learned the opposite, and now knows which instruments to read first in the tables above. Either answer is worth having, and only one of them is available after the move.

When an instrument you traded is not here

Sooner or later a name off your list will not appear, or will appear as something that is not quite the same contract. This is an ordinary outcome of any move and it has a procedure rather than a verdict. Find the closest thing that is quoted, then compare the three fields that decide whether it is a substitute at all: what one lot represents, what the second name in the pair is, and which class the contract belongs to. A standard lot of an FX major is 100,000 units and a lot of gold is 100 ounces, so a change of class is a change of quantity even when the ticker looks familiar.

The three outcomes are worth naming in advance, because the decision is much harder to take with a position already open. Either the contract matches and your sizing carries across unchanged; or it is the same market on a different contract, in which case the size has to be recomputed before anything else is decided; or there is no equivalent, and the instrument is simply dropped from the list. Dropping one is not a failure of the move. A list of three instruments you understand is worth more than a list of six you inherited.

A day-one cost check, in the order that saves the most time

1. Take the list off the old account first: the instruments you actually traded, the size you usually used, and how often each name appeared. This is the only step that stops being possible later.
2. Find those names here and confirm the contract behind each one, not just the label. A different class means the same size is a different amount of exposure.
3. Read the rows above for those names only. The rest of the table describes instruments you do not trade, and reading it will not make the decision any better informed.
4. Put both sides of any comparison into the same shape before comparing them: a quote that carries its cost inside against another all-in quote, or a raw quote plus $3.50 per lot per side against another raw quote plus its own charge.
5. Leave the verdict open for a month. Spreads are variable, and a first fortnight can be flattering or unlucky without either being informative.

Every step above is a reading or a note taken before the first order; none of them commits you to an account.

What carries over from the old account and what does not

Indicative structure rather than a quote: the measured figures are in the tables above and are rebuilt as new readings arrive.

Five ways a broker comparison goes wrong

None of these framings is dishonest. They are simply the four or five questions that cannot be answered, asked in place of the one that can.
