Understanding Forex Fees

What is the spread and why does it matter?

The spread is the gap between the buy (ask) and sell (bid) price quoted by your broker. It represents your immediate cost on entry — a wider spread means a bigger hurdle before a trade becomes profitable.

What counts as "total trading cost" for a forex trade?

Total cost = spread cost + commission (if applicable) + overnight swap fee (if held past 5pm NY). This calculator shows all three so you can compare true costs, not just advertised spreads.

Why do some brokers show 0 pips spread?

Raw or ECN accounts route orders directly to liquidity providers, so spreads can drop near zero. However these accounts always charge a commission per lot — typically $3–7 round-trip — which is often more transparent than a marked-up spread.

How are swap fees calculated?

Swap (or rollover) is the interest differential between the two currencies in a pair, applied daily at market close. Long positions pay or earn depending on the rate differential; short positions are the opposite.
