How is trading commission calculated for Zero accounts?
A trading commission is applied to specific account types and is mainly based on the trading volume in both directions, such as opening and closing an order. Commission will be charged together when a position is opened.
For Zero accounts specifically, the trading commission starts at USD 0.2 for one side per lot, but this can vary depending on the instrument traded. Follow this link to check the Contract Specifications of an instrument and its commission rate.
Here’s an example:
A trader opens a 1 lot position with GBPUSD. The commission charged will be USD 9 as USD 4.5 is the commission rate per lot and direction for this instrument traded on the Zero accounts. No further commission is charged when closing the 1 lot position, as the full amount of USD 9 would’ve occurred at opening the position.
