Understanding Spreads, Fees & Commissions in Forex Trading – Rabab Markets
Forex trading involves various costs, including spreads, fees, and commissions, which can impact your profitability. At Rabab Markets, we believe in transparency, so let’s break down these costs to help you trade smarter.
1. What is a Spread?
The spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of a currency pair. It’s how most brokers, including Rabab Markets, make their revenue.
- Tighter Spreads = Lower Costs
- Major pairs like EUR/USD usually have tighter spreads
- Exotic pairs may have wider spreads due to lower liquidity
At Rabab Markets, we offer competitive spreads starting from 0.0 pips on RAW ECN accounts.
2. Types of Fees in Forex Trading
A. Commission Fees
- Charged per lot traded (common in ECN/STP accounts)
- Example: $3.5 per lot (round turn)
B. Swap Fees (Overnight Financing)
- Applied if you hold a position overnight
- Depends on interest rate differences between currencies
