Trading Commissions on cTrader
On FXPro cTrader, you can trade with its raw-spread(no mark up spread by FXPro) as it is provided from FXPro’s liquidity providers.
That is why the spread starts from 0.2 pips minimum.
And there is an extra trading commission charged from FXPro, which is $45 per 1 million units traded, which is $4.5 per 1 lot traded per side, and $9 per 1 round turn lot.
The raw-spread provided by FXPro is a great environment for “scalpers” though, you don’t want to forget about the commissions charged every time you execute an order.
