Best Forex Account for Low Fees: Raw vs VIP vs Standard
Updated 21:55 (UTC+3) — FXPremiere Desk
The Only Formula You Need
All-in cost per lot ≈ (Avg spread (pips) × $10 on EUR/USD) + Commission per lot
For XAU/USD, 1 “pip” (0.01) ≈ $1 per lot (100 oz), so cost ≈ spread×$1 + commission.
Calculate this from your statements (realized spread + commission) to see which account is truly cheapest for you.
Illustrative Cost Scenarios
| Account Type | EUR/USD Example | XAU/USD Example | Who It Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (spread-only) | Spread ~1.1 pips → ~$11/lot | Spread ~30 “pips” (0.30) → ~$30/lot | Beginners, low frequency, simple pricing |
| Raw/ECN (tight + commission) | 0.0–0.1 pips + $6 → ~$6–$7/lot | 10 pips (0.10) + $6 → ~$16/lot | Intermediates needing precision entries |
| VIP/Pro (low spread, often $0 commission) | ~0.3 pips + $0 → ~$3/lot | ~6 pips (0.06) + $0 → ~$6/lot | High-frequency / scalpers / algos |
These are illustrations. Your broker/entity/time-of-day will differ—always test on your pairs.
Breakeven: When Does VIP Beat Raw?
VIP is cheaper than Raw when: VIP spread × $10 < Raw spread × $10 + Raw commission.
With Raw commission ~$6 and Raw spread ~0.1 pips ($1), VIP wins if its spread < 0.7 pips on EUR/USD.
Hidden Costs to Watch
- Swaps: matter for swing trades (especially gold, indices)
- Slippage: test around news; log fills vs quotes
- Funding/withdrawal fees: small but add up monthly
- Entity leverage: EU/UK retail typically up to 1:30
Bottom Line
For most active traders, VIP/Pro or Raw/ECN beats Standard on total cost per lot. If your trade size is small and infrequent, Standard’s simplicity may be fine. Always compute your realized cost per lot from statements, not marketing pages.
