Most cost questions start the same way: the trade closed where you expected it to, but the account moved by more than the figure you had in your head. Almost every one of those gaps has one of five explanations, and they are not equally common — the wrong account assumed, a commission counted once instead of twice, a fill taken in a minute when the spread was wide, a size or contract the estimate never used, and an overnight charge that belongs to holding rather than to trading. The pricing itself is simple enough to check against: on the spread-only Standard account a EUR/USD trade costs about 1.2 pips, roughly $12 per standard lot, with no commission line anywhere; on Raw+ the same trade is a raw spread from 0.0 pips plus $3.50 per lot per side, so $7.00 round turn, and Raw+ works out cheaper once the spread saving beats that commission — about 0.7 pips on a $10-per-pip major. Work down the five before deciding something is broken, because four of them are arithmetic and only the fifth is worth a message to support.

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:

Instrument	Median spread	All-in / lot	All-in (pips)	vs reference
EUR/USD	0.2 pips	$9.00	0.9 pips	−0.1 pips
GBP/USD	0.6 pips	$13.00	1.3 pips	0 pips
AUD/USD	0.4 pips	$11.00	1.1 pips	−0.5 pips
USD/CAD	0.4 pips	$9.88	1.37 pips	−0.7 pips
USD/JPY	0.3 pips	$8.88	1.41 pips	0 pips
XAU/USD (Gold)	15 pips	$22.00	22 pips	−43.9 pips

‘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 $78 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+

Instrument	Standard spread	Standard cost	Raw+ spread	Raw+ cost + comm	Cheaper
EUR/USD	1.2 pips	$12.00	0.2 pips	$9.00	Raw+
GBP/USD	1.5 pips	$15.00	0.4 pips	$11.00	Raw+
USD/CAD	1.6 pips	$12.00	0.5 pips	$10.75	Raw+
USD/JPY	1.3 pips	$9.10	0.3 pips	$9.10	About equal

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 2026-06-21.

Which account is cheaper for you

Raw+ replaces a wider spread with a tighter spread plus a $7 round-turn commission, so it only pays off once the spread saving beats that commission — about 0.7 pips on a $10-per-pip major such as EUR/USD. If the Standard spread is more than roughly 0.7 pips wider than the raw spread, Raw+ is cheaper; if the gap is smaller (or you trade rarely), the Standard all-in spread can win. As a rule of thumb, frequent traders on liquid majors save with Raw+, while occasional traders often prefer Standard.

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.

Five explanations, in the order they actually turn up

The first and by far the most common is that the estimate and the ticket are not on the same account. Standard and Raw+ price an identical trade in different places — one inside the fill, one as a separate charge — so a figure carried over from the wrong account is already wrong before the market has done anything.

Second is the round turn. A commission of $3.50 per lot per side is charged when the position opens and again when it closes; halve that by accident and every trade looks cheaper on paper than it was in the account.

Third is the minute. Spreads are variable, and the same pair does not cost the same at the daily rollover as in the middle of the London session — the hourly shape is on our live spreads page.

Fourth is size and contract. A standard lot is 100,000 units on an FX major, the smallest order the platform accepts is 0.01 lot, and a metal uses a different contract altogether, so an estimate built on one and a ticket sent on another cannot agree. Fifth, and the one that surprises people most, is that part of the difference was never a trading cost at all — it was the overnight charge for keeping the position past the daily rollover.

Which half of the cost can move and which cannot

A useful test needs no arithmetic. Decide first whether the component that disagrees is deterministic or variable. Commission is deterministic: it does not depend on liquidity, on the hour, or on how the fill went. If the commission on a completed round turn is not twice the per-side charge for the size you traded, that is a real discrepancy and worth raising.

The spread is the opposite. It is a distance between two live prices, it widens and narrows through the day, and no two fills are obliged to match. A spread-side difference becomes interesting only when it sits outside the busy-market figure for that instrument, on an ordinary hour, with nothing scheduled — and even then the honest first assumption is timing.

Sorting a gap into those two buckets usually ends the investigation on the spot, because the deterministic half either matches exactly or points straight at the cause.

Where each explanation gets settled

Each of the five has a page where the check is quick. Account type and commission belong on our Raw+ account page, where the per-side charge and the round turn are set out. Timing belongs on live spreads, where the hourly profile shows which hours run wide.

Size, contract and symbol belong on trading conditions, together with the short list of fields that makes a question answerable. Anything that appeared while the position simply sat open belongs on swap rates. If a gap survives all four, it is a genuine discrepancy — send it with the deal ticket, the time in server time and the instrument attached, and it can be answered.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my trade cost more than I estimated?

Five things explain almost all of it, in rough order of how often they turn up: the estimate assumed the wrong account, the commission was counted for one side instead of two, the fill landed in a wide-spread minute, the order size or contract was not the one the estimate used, or part of the difference is an overnight charge for holding rather than a cost of trading. Only once all five are ruled out is the gap worth reporting.

How do I tell a normal cost difference from a real error?

Split the cost into the part that can move and the part that cannot. Commission is fixed at $3.50 per lot per side, so it either matches or something is wrong. The spread is variable and depends on the minute your order was filled, so a difference there is ordinary unless it falls outside the range published on our live spreads page for that instrument.

Did I count the FxPro commission correctly?

Commission on Raw+ is charged per side, so a completed round turn is charged twice: $3.50 to open and $3.50 to close, $7.00 in total per standard lot. An estimate that counted a single side is short by exactly half. Standard accounts carry no separate commission at all.

How do I know which account my trade was priced on?

Look for a separate commission figure against the deal. Raw+ prices the trade as a raw spread from 0.0 pips with the commission written down separately; the Standard account shows nothing separately, because its roughly 1.2 pips on EUR/USD is already inside the price you were filled at.

Are FxPro spreads fixed or variable?

Variable — they move with market liquidity, which is why two fills on the same pair on the same day can cost differently. Standard accounts use all-in spreads, while raw accounts show spreads from 0.0 pips plus a commission.

What should I have ready before asking about a cost?

The deal ticket number, the exact time of the fill in server time, the instrument symbol, the order size and the account type. Without those five nobody can check a cost question, including you.

How much does one EUR/USD trade cost at FxPro?

About $12 per standard lot on the Standard account (1.2 pips, no commission), or a raw spread plus the $7.00 round-turn commission on Raw+. The measured all-in figure per instrument is published on our live spreads page and moves with the market.

Is the Standard or Raw+ account cheaper at FxPro?

Raw+ is cheaper once the spread saving beats the $7 round-turn commission — roughly 0.7 pips on a $10-per-pip major such as EUR/USD. On tighter or lower-value instruments the Standard all-in spread can win. For a cost check the point is that an estimate made for one account does not transfer to the other.

Reviews

Spreads get a thumbs up on the majors and oil — traders call them competitive and reckon orders fill fast. Gold's the sore spot: a few clock it swinging 30–45 pips, way wider than they'd like. The ECN account trades tighter but the commission stings, 'on the higher side.' Fine if you stick to majors — just eyeball the metals spread before you load up.
