What is a Raw Spread account?

The Raw Spread account combines raw or tighter spreads with a separate trading commission. It is intended for customers who prefer to see the spread and commission as separate parts of the trading cost.

How is the trading cost calculated?

The total trading cost can include:

  • the spread between the bid and ask prices;

  • a commission based on the instrument and position volume;

  • currency conversion when the charge is converted into the account currency; and

  • overnight financing or other product charges when applicable.

The exact commission and contract conditions can vary by instrument. Check the current contract specification before placing a trade.

Which instruments and platforms are available?

Use the account-creation flow and trading platform to confirm the platforms, instruments and account currencies currently available for a Raw Spread account. Product availability can depend on your legal entity and profile.

What are the activation and deposit requirements?

Review the activation information displayed for the new account. The account-activation requirement is separate from the minimum amount accepted by a deposit method.

How do I create a Raw Spread account?

  1. Sign in to the FXTRADING.com Client Portal.

  2. Start the live trading-account creation flow.

  3. Select Raw Spread if it is available for your profile.

  6. Create the account and keep the account number and server information shown.

How do I sign in to the account?

Use the complete account number, server and trading password shown for the account. Add a suffix only when it appears in those sign-in details.

If the account is visible but trading controls remain unavailable, check whether the account is activated and whether you signed in with the trading password rather than the investor/read-only password.

How do I check the current commission?
