FxPro Raw+ Account | FxPro Kenya
The FxPro Raw+ account: raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus a commission, built for active traders and scalpers.
Open FxPro Account →Two demo windows settle in an afternoon what a comparison table can only assert: quote the same instrument on a Standard account and on a Raw+ account in the same second, and the pricing argument turns into a pair of numbers. According to FxPro, Raw+ shows spreads from 0.0 pips on major pairs and charges a commission of $3.50 per lot per side instead of building the cost into a wider spread; it runs on MetaTrader 4, a similar raw-pricing model is available on cTrader, and the Standard account it is usually held against has no separate commission but wider all-in spreads. Raw pricing is aimed at active traders and scalpers, where a small per-trade saving repeats often enough to matter. What the paired test adds to that description is timing: two quotes taken in the same second are comparable, while a Raw+ quote from this morning and a Standard quote from yesterday afternoon are two different markets and prove nothing about either account.
What Raw+ actually delivers (measured)
What the Raw+ account actually delivered when we measured it on FxPro’s own MT5 feed:
- EUR/USD measured at a 0.2-pip median spread and about $9.00 all-in per standard lot.
- That breaks even in 0.9 pips, and the spread measured perfectly stable (stability ratio 1) — tight and steady enough to scalp.
- Across the majors the measured spread sat at or below an independent interbank reference feed (EUR/USD −0.09, AUD/USD −0.16, USD/CAD −0.54 pips).
- Market orders in our test filled in about 78 to 99 milliseconds with near-zero slippage and no rejects.
- Raw+ commission is tiered by order size, with a minimum on the smallest size:
| Order size | Commission (Raw+) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 lot | $4.00 per side |
| 0.1 lot | $3.50 per side |
| 1.0 lot | $3.50 per side |

Two accounts, one clock
The comparison most people make is a memory against a table. The comparison worth making is two windows open at once: the same instrument quoted on a Standard demo and on a Raw+ demo, read at the same second, written into the same row of the same sheet.
Record the pair, not the two readings. What you are measuring is the gap between them, and the gap only means something when both halves share a timestamp — which is why the sheet wants one row per moment rather than one row per account.
Then add the commission to the Raw+ side and nothing to the Standard side. On Raw+ that is $3.50 per lot per side, so twice that for a round turn, against a wider spread with no separate charge on Standard. Only after that step are the two columns comparable as money.
Sampling choices that quietly pick a winner
Three habits will decide the outcome before the data does. Reading only in the quiet hours favours the raw model, because that is when the spread saving is largest relative to a fixed commission. Reading only at the minimum order size favours the all-in model, because the commission measured there is a minimum ticket charge and works out dearer per lot than the $3.50 per side you pay at normal sizes.
The third is stopping early. A comparison that ends the moment one column looks better is not a measurement. Fix the number of readings and the hours before you begin, and finish the set even when the answer seems obvious after the first few pairs.
None of this needs special tooling. It needs the rules written at the top of the sheet before the first reading, where they can embarrass you later if you break them.
Reading stability, not just tightness
A tight average with a wide tail is worse to trade than a slightly wider average that never moves. That is the property the stability figure on this page describes: on the measured Raw+ feed the EUR/USD spread came out perfectly stable, with the tightest, the typical and the busy-market readings all landing on the same figure.
Your own sample can show the same thing without any statistics. Sort your readings and look at the worst tenth of them. If the worst tenth looks like the middle, the instrument is steady; if it is several times wider, your average is describing a market you will not always be given.
The markup column on this site holds the measured Raw+ spread up against an independent interbank reference feed over the same hours, and on several majors it came out at or below that reference. That is a comparison against an outside yardstick rather than against a marketing claim — and an outside yardstick is exactly what your own log is missing until you add one.
Running the paired test
- Open a Standard demo and a Raw+ demo and put the same instrument on screen in both.
- Decide in advance how many readings you will take and at which hours, and write that rule at the top of the sheet before the first reading.
- Take both quotes at the same moment and enter them in one row, with the time and its zone beside them.
- Convert each side into money for the lot size you actually trade, adding $3.50 per lot per side to the Raw+ column and nothing to the Standard one.
- Finish the set even once one column starts to look better, then compare the totals rather than your favourite row.
Commission is tiered at the small end — the minimum ticket charge at 0.01 lot works out dearer per lot than the $3.50 per side charged at 0.1 and 1.0 lots — so run the test at the size you intend to trade rather than the smallest one on offer.
What a paired quote test can and cannot settle
| Question | Settled by paired quotes? | What it would take instead |
|---|---|---|
| Which account quotes tighter right now | Yes | Nothing more — that is exactly what the pair measures |
| Which account is cheaper for your trading | Partly | The same pairs collected across your own hours and sizes |
| How steady the spread is | Partly | Enough readings to look at the worst tenth rather than the average |
| How quickly orders fill | No | Timed market orders, which is a separate test |
| What holding a position costs | No | Overnight readings, which belong on the swap rates page |
A test that answers one question properly is worth more than one that gestures at five. The rest of this list has its own pages on this site.

What traders report
The commission is what these traders argue about. One calls $3.50 per side fair and still stops at four stars; another says he does not care about it at all, because near-zero spreads are what his strategy needs; a futures trader says he barely feels the cost trading intraday. The dissent is about spreads that are not always near zero — an older review recalls GBP/USD widening far past what he expected, and one more trader was tripped up less by cost than by how much leverage was available to him.
With the Raw account, you pay commission $3.5/side, well, it’s quite fair but still…
Raw account is an ideal choice for trading on the forex cuz there are zero spreads. I doesn't even care if I have to pay a 3$ commission per trade. The trading conditions suit my strategy ideally.
Not bad, floating spread on GBPUSD was way to high. Other than that most of the time spreads are very competitive.
Even though I was confused a bit with leverage here, I understood that it could be... very big! :D Spreads are below 2 pips on trading liquid assets - commendable.
Trading futures is just a pleasure with fxpro. The spreads are almost zero, i can not feel them when i trade intraday es. In addition there are low commimssions on trades as welll.
