Spread, commission and swap: what you actually pay

By Founder & Lead Broker Reviewer Updated 1 min read

The three costs of a Forex trade explained in plain language, with a worked example.

Spread

The gap between the buy and sell price. You pay it every time you open a trade.

Commission

A fixed fee per lot on raw spread accounts. Add it to the spread to compare accounts fairly.

Swap

An overnight financing charge or credit for positions held past the daily cut-off.
