FxPro spreads in Kenya: what one round turn carries

Measured Raw+ spreads on the MT5 feed

Measured first-hand on FxPro's MT5 Raw+ feed over the same hours as an independent interbank reference feed, these are not advertised rates. The all-in column adds commission, and its pip value is also the break-even move.

A negative reference figure means FxPro's spread was tighter over the measured hours. EUR/USD's round-turn cost is about $78 per $1,000,000 traded.

• EUR/USD: 0.2 pips median; $9.00 all-in; 0.9 pips; +0.18 pips vs reference
• GBP/USD: 0.6 pips; $13.00; 1.3 pips; +0.45 pips
• AUD/USD: 0.4 pips; $11.00; 1.1 pips; +0.04 pips
• USD/CAD: 0.4 pips; $9.87; 1.37 pips; −0.4 pips
• USD/JPY: 0.3 pips; $8.94; 1.38 pips; +0.67 pips
• XAU/USD (Gold): 15 pips; $22.00; 22 pips; −34.67 pips

Standard against Raw+ on a round-turn lot

• GBP/USD: Standard 1.5 pips, $15.00; Raw+ 0.4 pips, $11.00; Raw+ cheaper
• USD/CAD: Standard 1.6 pips, $12.00; Raw+ 0.5 pips, $10.75; Raw+ cheaper
• USD/JPY: Standard 1.3 pips, $9.10; Raw+ 0.3 pips, $9.10; about equal

When the tighter Raw+ quote covers the commission

Raw+ swaps a wider spread for a narrower one plus $7.00 commission, so the saving must beat that charge. On a $10-per-pip major such as EUR/USD, break-even is about 0.7 pips: a Standard spread more than roughly 0.7 pips wider makes Raw+ cost less, and a smaller gap can leave Standard costing less.

As a rule of thumb, frequent traders on liquid majors save with Raw+, while occasional traders often prefer Standard. Indicative spreads elsewhere put gold (XAU/USD) at 2.5 pips Standard and 1.0 pips Raw, and US 500 (S&P) at 0.4 pts on both. Metals and indices use different contract sizes.

What a series of entries costs on Raw+

Each entry and exit is its own round turn, and no pricing element recognises a repeat. On Raw+ and cTrader the $3.50 per lot per side falls on both sides of each attempt, minutes or a week later.

The rows assume the same size on every attempt and 1 standard lot of 100,000 units. A Standard account pays its all-in spread once per attempt instead, inside the quote.

• 1 attempt: 1 round turn; $7.00; carries its own entry cost
• 2 attempts: 2 round turns; $14.00; carries its own cost plus 1 abandoned entry
• 3 attempts: 3 round turns; $21.00; carries its own cost plus 2 abandoned entries
• 4 attempts: 4 round turns; $28.00; carries its own cost plus 3 abandoned entries

Fixing the entry count before the first ticket

Because pricing is per attempt, a limit written in attempts binds what an idea costs. The spread may be quoted afresh on a later try, while the commission rate stays per lot per side.

The contract specification sets 0.01 lots as the floor, 0.01 increments and up to 500 lots, identical on every attempt. Exposure stays at the single position open at a time; turnover is the sum of attempts.

• Give the idea 2 or 3 entries before the first ticket.
• Multiply its single round-turn cost from the all-in column by that entry budget.
• On Raw+ and cTrader, count $3.50 per lot per side on both sides of every attempt; on Standard, count the all-in spread once per attempt.
• Set the product against the move being traded; if the series total is a large share of it, the idea is worth 1 attempt.
