Total cost of a 1 lot EUR/USD round turn
The only cost comparison that matters is spread plus commission, measured together:
- eToro — 1.0 pips plus Spread-only, $5 withdrawal fee
- FxPro — 0.3 pips (Raw+) plus $3.50 per side per lot (Raw+)
- Vantage — 0.0 pips (Raw ECN) plus $3 per side per lot (Raw ECN) (the lowest commission of the raw ECN group)
