How much does it cost to trade on RoboForex?

The cost of trading on Roboforex varies depending on a few factors, even though it provides cutting-edge technologies, expert support, and competitive trading fees. These include spreads, swaps, and commissions.

  • 1

    Spreads

    The difference between the asking (buying) and bidding (selling) prices is known as a spread

  • 2

    Swaps

    Swaps, also known as rollover rates or overnight financing fees, can influence the cost of trading in both the Forex and stock markets. Swaps are the interest rate differentials between the two currencies (Forex) or the underlying assets (stocks) involved in a trade. In Forex trading, when you hold a position overnight, you may either receive or pay interest, depending on the interest rate differentials between the two currencies. If the swap fee is high, then your profits are affected.

  • 3

    Commission

    Stock traders typically have to pay a commission for each transaction when purchasing and selling assets. While some forex brokers offer commission-free trading, others offer commission-based accounts, where traders must pay a fixed commission per trade on top of the spread.

Note:

The spreads, swaps, and commissions on RoboForex vary depending on the account type.

RoboForex account types Spread Commissions

ProCent Account

from 1.3 pips

no commissions

Pro-Standard Account

from 1.3 pips

no commissions

Prime Account

$15 per 1 million USD trade

ECN Account

from 0.0 pips

$20 commission per 1 million USD trade

R StockTrader Account

from 0.01 pips

$1.5 minimum commission

The swap charge for rolling over a position overnight is determined by the length of the position and the interest rates of the underlying currencies involved in the trade. For example, on the Roboforex Pro-Standard account, when you go short on the EUR/USD and GBP/USD, the swap is 0,19 and 0,1, respectively. When you go long, the swap is “EUR/USD: -0,76, GBP/USD: -0,41.”
