The All-In Cost Formula
Standard vs Raw vs VIP Black: Which Account Saves More Over 100 Lots?
EUR/USD: Cost per lot ≈ Spread (pips) × $10 + Commission/lot
XAU/USD (100 oz): Cost per lot ≈ Spread (“pips” of 0.01) × $1 + Commission/lot
Multiply the per-lot cost by your volume (e.g., × 100 lots) to see monthly/quarterly totals.

EUR/USD — 100 Lots Cost Comparison
| Account | Per-Lot Cost | 100 Lots | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1.1 pips × $10 = $11 | $1,100 | Simplest, but highest cost at this spread |
| Raw/ECN | (0.1 × $10) + $6 ≈ $7 | $700 | Tighter entries; commission applies |
| VIP Black | 0.3 pips × $10 = $3 | $300 | Often the cheapest if spread stays ~0.3 |
Savings vs Standard (100 lots): VIP ≈ $800 saved; Raw ≈ $400 saved.
Savings vs Raw: VIP saves ≈ $400 if it maintains ~0.3 pips.
XAU/USD (Gold) — 100 Lots Cost Comparison
| Account | Per-Lot Cost (100 oz) | 100 Lots | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ~30 “pips” × $1 = $30 | $3,000 | Spread-only; can spike at news |
| Raw/ECN | (~10 × $1) + $6 = $16 | $1,600 | Good for precision but watch commission |
| VIP Black | ~6 × $1 + $0 = $6 | $600 | Frequently the lowest all-in for gold scalpers |
Savings vs Standard (100 lots): VIP ≈ $2,400; Raw ≈ $1,400.
Savings vs Raw: VIP ≈ $1,000 if it holds ~6 pips.
Breakeven Math (EUR/USD)
VIP beats Raw when: VIP Spread × $10 < Raw Spread × $10 + Raw Commission.
With Raw at ~0.1 pip ($1) + $6 = $7, VIP wins if its spread stays < 0.7 pips.
5-Minute Audit: Your Real Costs
- Export statement (fills, symbol, time, commission).
- Compute average spread at entry (ask−bid) in pips.
- Calculate per-lot cost with the formula above.
- Multiply by your monthly lots; compare across accounts.
Repeat by session (Asia/London/NY) and around news to catch widening.
When Standard Still Makes Sense
- Very low frequency trading (few lots/month)
- Beginner preference for $0 commission simplicity
- Copy-trading tests with micro size
When Raw/ECN Wins
- Precision entries on majors/Gold during liquid hours
- If your VIP spread isn’t reliably ≤0.6–0.7 pips on EUR/USD
- When your broker’s Raw routing shows lower slippage
Bottom Line
Over 100 lots, VIP Black is usually the cheapest if spreads remain tight and commission is $0. Raw/ECN is a strong second, especially when you need ultra-tight entries. Standard is simplest but typically the most expensive at scale. Don’t guess — measure your realized spread, commission, slippage and swaps on your live feed.
