Key facts
Fees and spreads
The Spread-Only account builds the cost into the spread and charges no commission. The RAW Pricing account has tighter spreads, which FOREX.com says go as low as 0.2 pips on EUR/USD, plus a commission of $7 per $100,000 traded. FOREX.com does not publish a single typical spread for the Spread-Only account, so check the live quote before you trade.
High-volume traders can join the FOREX.com VIP programme, which FOREX.com says pays cash rebates of up to $10 per million traded.
Platforms
You can trade on FOREX.com's own web and mobile platforms, MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or by connecting your account to TradingView. Demo and MetaTrader 4 accounts use Spread-Only pricing. See MT4 vs MT5.
