What the Raw+ Account Label Actually Covers · South Africa
The FxPro Raw+ account: raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus a commission, built for active traders and scalpers.
Open FxPro Account →Raw+ is a label on an account, and it is worth reading as a statement about which entries exist rather than as a slogan. According to FxPro it prices trades with raw spreads from 0.0 pips on major pairs and a commission of $3.50 per lot per side, so the account carries a commission entry that a Standard account simply does not have. The Standard label states the opposite arrangement: no commission entry, and the cost carried inside a wider all-in spread. Very little else moves with the label — a contract specification belongs to the instrument rather than to the account, so lot sizes, steps and contract values read the same either way. Raw+ runs on MetaTrader 4, and a similar raw-pricing model is available on cTrader. Look the label up before reading any cost figure anywhere on this site, because it decides which of the two cost entries you should be looking for.
What Raw+ actually delivers (measured)
What the Raw+ account actually delivered when we measured it on FxPro’s own MT5 feed:
- EUR/USD measured at a 0.2-pip median spread and about $9.00 all-in per standard lot.
- That breaks even in 0.9 pips, and the spread measured perfectly stable (stability ratio 1) — tight and steady enough to scalp.
- Across the majors the measured spread sat at or below an independent interbank reference feed (EUR/USD −0.09, AUD/USD −0.16, USD/CAD −0.54 pips).
- Market orders in our test filled in about 78 to 99 milliseconds with near-zero slippage and no rejects.
- Raw+ commission is tiered by order size, with a minimum on the smallest size:
| Order size | Commission (Raw+) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 lot | $4.00 per side |
| 0.1 lot | $3.50 per side |
| 1.0 lot | $3.50 per side |

What the label states, entry by entry
The spread entry. Passed through rather than widened, from 0.0 pips on major pairs. The number itself still comes from the market and still moves; what the label states is that no markup is added to it on the way to your screen.
The commission entry. Present, and carrying a published rate of $3.50 per lot per side. This is the entry that does not exist at all on a Standard account, and its presence is the single clearest way to tell which model an account is on.
The platform entry. MetaTrader 4 for Raw+ itself, with a similar raw-pricing model available on cTrader. The label travels with the pricing, not with the software.
Words that are not the account name
Raw spread. A description of a price, not of an account. Any quote passed through without a markup is a raw spread; Raw+ is the arrangement under which you are given them and charged a commission instead.
Zero spread. A floor rather than a reading. From 0.0 pips states the best case that has been seen on majors, and the measured medians we publish on our live spreads page state the ordinary case. Both are true and they are not the same claim.
Commission-free. A property of the Standard model, and one that says nothing about total cost — a missing commission entry means the cost has been moved into the spread, not removed. Our spreads and costs page keeps both entries side by side for that reason.
What does not move with the label
The specification. Minimum and maximum lot, lot step, contract size and tick value belong to the instrument. They are identical on either account model, which is why a specification is looked up per symbol rather than per account.
The instrument universe. The catalogue is the broker's, not the account model's. Switching label does not add or remove symbols; it changes how the trades in them are priced.
The overnight entries. Swap long, swap short and the three-day swap are read from the instrument specification too, so they are the same lookup on either model — our swap rates page covers them field by field.
Account words, one line each
| Word | What it names | Where it is written | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw+ | An account model: raw spread plus a per-lot commission | The account header | Read it before any cost figure on this site |
| Standard | An account model with no commission entry | The same account header | Expect the cost inside the spread instead |
| Raw spread | A price passed through without a markup | Quoted live in the platform | Compare it with the measured medians we publish |
| Zero spread | A best-case floor of 0.0 pips on majors | Marketing copy, not an entry | Treat it as a floor, never as a typical reading |
| Commission | A charge of $3.50 per lot per side | Its own entry on a Raw+ deal | Count it on both sides of the trade |
| Specification | The instrument's own numbers | Per symbol, not per account | Expect it to read the same on either model |
The account model decides which cost entries exist. Everything counted per instrument reads the same on both.

What traders report
Not everyone quoted here is on Raw+, and that is what makes the set worth reading: one trader settled on Standard because the entry was affordable and the spreads still felt reasonable, another judges cost from an Elite tier with rebates behind him. Two are unconvinced — a three-star review calls spreads and overnight interest still too high, and a four-star one blames wide spreads for repeated stop-outs while praising the app and the bank coverage on withdrawals. Only the two shortest reviews call spreads on majors plainly tight.
Fxpro standard account is the golden mean for me cause minimum deposti is affordable while spreads aren't big at all. I thught they would be biting! But no. It was just a misconception,,
Spreads are tight on major curerncies and trading is cost-effective here.
Good intuitive handling Spreads and interest still too high
The app works Great, "withdraws"i can access almost 90% of the banks in Kenya,, but now the problem is that your spreads are too wide, i almost get stopped out everytime, please review the spreads, otherwise everything is quiet fine 🙏🙏
Those rebates is the theme, works like a cashback, not very needed, but glad to have this term on my elite account. Also, spreads are quite reasonable there, as well the leverage:)
