At FXTRADING.com, we offer various trading account types with different commission structures to suit your trading style. This guide explains which accounts charge commissions and how they are calculated.
Commission-Based Accounts
Only two account types at FXTRADING.com charge trading commissions:
Raw Account
Features raw market spreads with an added commission
The full commission amount is charged when you open a position
Ideal for traders who prefer tight spreads with transparent commission costs
Zero Account
Offers zero spread on major instruments with a commission applied
The full commission amount is charged when you close a position
Perfect for traders seeking minimal spread costs
Important: Commission amounts vary depending on the instrument traded. For detailed commission rates, please refer to our contract specifications page.
How Commissions Are Calculated
Commissions apply to your trading volume in both directions (opening and closing positions):
Raw Account: Full commission is deducted at position opening
Zero Account: Full commission is deducted at position closing
Commission-Free Accounts
The following account types do not charge any trading commissions:
Standard Account
Standard Pro Account
Standard Plus Account
These accounts typically feature slightly wider spreads to compensate for the absence of commissions, making them suitable for traders who prefer simplified cost structures.
Choosing the Right Account
Consider your trading strategy when selecting an account type:
High-frequency traders may benefit from commission-based accounts with tighter spreads
Casual traders might prefer commission-free accounts for simpler cost management
