When does FOREX.com charge commissions?
We charge commissions on our RAW Spread accounts, but do not charge commissions on our Standard (spread only) accounts (except for stocks CFD). For our RAW Spread accounts, we charge $5 USD per $100k USD traded.
For example, if you bought 200,000 USD/JPY, you are buying 200,000 worth of USD, thus you would have a commission of $10 (200,000 *$5 / 100,000).
What platforms can I trade a RAW Spread Account on?
RAW Spread is available on our FOREX.com platforms, as well as MetaTrader 5.
Are the spreads different between Standard and RAW Spread Accounts?
