FxPro Raw+ Account: One Fixed Line, One Moving Line · FxPro Bangladesh
The commission does not change with the instrument. The spread does — so the account that costs you less is settled by what is on your list and by the size of the orders that carry it.
Open FxPro Account →On the FxPro Raw+ account a trade arrives as two separate cost lines, and they do not behave the same way. According to FxPro the commission is $3.50 per lot per side, and that figure is quoted against the lot rather than against the market — it does not move when you switch from one instrument to another. The spread does move: it is expressed in each instrument's own unit, it changes with the depth of the book and with the hour of the day. The Standard account folds both lines into a single wider spread and charges no separate commission. So the account that leaves more in your balance is settled less by how many trades you place than by what sits on your instrument list, and by the order size that carries them — the commission is tiered, with a minimum at the smallest size. Raw+ runs on MetaTrader 4, and a comparable raw-pricing model is offered on cTrader.
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 +0.18, AUD/USD +0.04, USD/CAD −0.4 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 |

The two cost lines at a glance
- Raw spreads from 0.0 pips on major pairs
- Commission of $3.50 per lot per side, quoted against the lot
- That figure does not change when you switch instrument — the spread does
- Commission tiered by order size, with a minimum on the smallest size
- Runs on MetaTrader 4; cTrader offers a comparable raw-pricing model
- Standard folds both lines into one wider all-in spread, with no commission
One line moves with the instrument, the other does not
Put the two pricing models side by side and the difference is not a discount — it is a split. Standard collects the whole cost through the spread. Raw+ pulls the execution charge out into a line of its own and leaves the spread to carry the rest. Nothing is removed from the bill; the same trade is billed through different columns.
The consequence is easy to miss. A per-lot charge is indifferent to what you trade: it is the same figure against a currency pair and against a metal contract. The spread is indifferent to nothing. It is quoted in pips on one instrument and in points on another, it widens through the news minutes and it narrows when the book is deep. One column is a constant and the other is a variable, and the arithmetic of the pair behaves accordingly.
Where the fixed line weighs most
Because the charge stays put while the spread travels, its weight inside the total is not the same everywhere. On an instrument whose measured spread is already very tight, the per-lot charge is the larger part of what you pay. On an instrument whose spread is wide once converted into cost, that same charge is a minor entry beside it.
This is why a single verdict on which account costs less does not survive contact with a real instrument list. The honest answer is per-instrument: read the spread for the instruments you actually hold, express it as cost per standard lot so everything is in one unit, and see which column dominates before you decide. Our measured spreads and trading conditions pages publish those readings off the live feed rather than off a rate card.
Order size sets the effective rate
The second variable is the size of the order that carries the position. The commission table above is tiered and the smallest size carries a minimum, which means a fraction of a lot does not pay a proportional fraction of the charge. Below that threshold the effective rate per lot is higher than the headline figure, and it climbs the smaller you go.
Two traders with the same monthly volume can therefore close the month with different bills. The one who carried the volume in a handful of full-size orders paid close to the quoted rate; the one who fragmented the same volume into many small orders met the minimum over and over. Under this pricing model, sizing is not only a risk decision — it is a pricing decision.
Fit the account to your instrument list, in four steps
- Write down the three or four instruments you actually trade — not the ones you follow.
- For each of them take the spread from our measured feed and express it as cost per standard lot, so every instrument is finally in the same unit.
- Add the Raw+ commission for the order size you normally send, reading it off the tiered table on this page rather than off the headline figure.
- Compare that total against the Standard all-in spread for the same instrument. If the answer splits across your list, the split itself is the finding — it tells you which half of the list this pricing model was built for.
Every input here is either published on this page from the live feed we record, or set by your own order ticket. Nothing in the comparison has to be taken on trust.
Which cost line dominates, and what to check first
| What you trade | Line that dominates | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Tight major FX pairs | The fixed per-lot commission | Whether your usual order size clears the smallest tier |
| Wider FX crosses | The spread | The measured spread at the hours you actually trade |
| Gold and other metals | The spread, quoted in points | How the point value converts into cost per lot |
| Index and energy CFDs | The spread, quoted in index points | Whether raw pricing is offered on that instrument at all |
| Fractions of a lot | The commission minimum | The tiered table above, not the headline rate |
Directional, not a quotation: the ordering follows from a charge fixed per lot meeting a spread that is not fixed at all.

What traders report
The traders who are happy with Raw+ describe it the same way the arithmetic does: a fixed charge per lot next to a spread that is close to nothing, and it lands well when the instrument list and the order size fit that shape. The complaints cluster on the other side of the same point — on minimum order size, where a fixed charge weighs hardest.
I gotta agree with the opinion that commission-based trading is better for lower-timeframe trading styles. FxPro not only provides zero-spread accounts, but also charges only $3.5 per side.
If I just focus on my trading, stuff seems to start working. I just go raw, on a raw account. Works fine, with metals especially.
Trading futures is just a pleasure with FxPro. The spreads are almost zero, I cannot feel them when I trade intraday ES. In addition there are low commissions on trades as well.
Trading gold here and the spreads are super tight on it.
Your lot is too high, it should be like others 0.001 minimum.
