FxPro Spreads & Trading Costs | FxPro Kenya
What does trading actually cost at FxPro — and is the Standard or Raw+ account cheaper for you? Spreads, commission and the all-in cost per trade.
Open FxPro Account →Every cost figure on this page can be re-taken in your own terminal, and that is the only way to know it holds for the hours you actually trade. The arithmetic is short: read the spread for the instrument, multiply it by the pip value of your lot size, then add the commission if your account charges one. At FxPro that comes to about 1.2 pips — roughly $12 per standard lot — on the spread-only Standard account with no commission, or about 0.2 pips plus a $3.50-per-side commission (about $9 per round-turn lot) on the Raw+ account. What a re-take gives you that a published table cannot is the spread of readings: spreads are variable, so one number is a snapshot and a set of readings taken across a session is a measurement. Raw+ overtakes Standard once the spread saving beats the commission — about 0.7 pips on a $10-per-pip major — and whether that happens on your instruments at your hours is a question only your own log answers.
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 | −0.09 pips |
| GBP/USD | 0.6 pips | $13.00 | 1.3 pips | +0.03 pips |
| AUD/USD | 0.4 pips | $11.00 | 1.1 pips | −0.16 pips |
| USD/CAD | 0.4 pips | $9.89 | 1.37 pips | −0.54 pips |
| USD/JPY | 0.3 pips | $8.92 | 1.39 pips | +0.04 pips |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 15 pips | $22.00 | 22 pips | −42.2 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 $77.5 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 2026-06-20.
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.

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.
Re-taking these numbers in your own terminal
Nothing here needs to be taken on trust. Open the account type you want to price, put the spread on screen next to the instrument, and you are looking at the same quantity this page publishes. The only discipline the exercise asks for is writing each reading down together with the moment it was taken, because a number without a timestamp cannot be compared with anything later.
Convert each reading into money as you record it, so that the log holds costs rather than pips: spread in pips times the pip value of your lot, plus the commission if you are on Raw+. Do it on both account types and you rebuild the comparison this page opens with — the Standard all-in spread on one side, the tighter Raw+ spread plus $3.50 per lot per side on the other.
Do it across several separate sittings rather than one. Ten readings taken in the same five minutes describe one market condition; the same ten spread across a working week describe your trading week. If your figures and ours disagree, the first two suspects are the account type and the hour: a Standard quote held up against a Raw+ table will always look wide. The measured feed lists the same instruments hour by hour if you want a row to compare against.
Why one screenshot proves less than it looks
A screenshot has one property that makes it weak evidence: it is chosen. Whoever took it decided which second to keep, and the second that gets kept is almost never the ordinary one. That is as true of a marketing capture as it is of your own lucky one.
The honest replacement is unglamorous — a set of readings taken on a schedule you fixed before you started looking. Decide the times first, record whatever the screen shows at those times, and keep the inconvenient readings. A sample you are allowed to prune is not a sample.
Then report the middle rather than the best. On EUR/USD the tightest reading and the typical one happen to be the same number, but they are not the same number on every pair: on AUD/USD the tightest quote we saw sits well below the median you would usually trade. The gap between those two figures is exactly what a single screenshot hides.
What a usable reading log contains
Five columns are enough, and the sixth is for anything unusual you noticed at that moment — left blank when nothing happened. Filling it in honestly matters more than filling it in often: the blank rows are what make the odd ones believable.
Keep the log for a few weeks and it starts answering questions no published table can. What your own typical cost is, rather than the measured one. Which hours you personally trade, rather than the ones you assume. And whether the account you are on is the cheaper one for your pattern — a question this page can only answer in general terms, while the Raw+ page explains how the two pricing models differ.
A reading log template
| Column | What goes in it | Why it is there |
|---|---|---|
| Time and zone | e.g. 14:35 EAT | Two readings are only comparable when both carry a clock |
| Instrument | EUR/USD, XAU/USD… | Spread profiles differ per instrument, not per broker |
| Account type | Standard or Raw+ | A Standard quote against a Raw+ table always looks wide |
| Spread as shown | in pips | The raw observation, before any arithmetic |
| Cost for your lot | spread x pip value + commission | Turns the observation into the number you care about |
| Note | rollover, thin hours, blank | Context you will not reconstruct a week later |
Six columns, filled at the moment of the reading. The template is the method: it is what turns a handful of screenshots into something you can average.

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.
Worst withdrawal experience bad spread and it really messing with my stop loss I don't recommend them honestly not just to spoil there name but they should do something
I have to claim that I MAINLY satisfied with the services offered by the FxPro broker, but not completely.
Mixed feelings, supposedly top tier broker, but some spreads are rather high and within days of opening account message about dormant account fees.
Fast orders, fair spreads. Easy withdrawals. Stable fxpro platform. commissions for ecn account is on a higher side:-s
Awesome trading platform with unmatched speed of orders execution and tight spreads. I believe this combination is what helps traders earn profits.
I do prefer a raw account’ why! See spreads. Although when I started I liked the spreads in the standard account too but over time liked the idea of commission and near to zero spreads…
