FXGT's spreads vary depending on the account type (list by account type)
FXGToffers six account types, andspreads vary depending on the account, even for the same currency pair. Only the ECN Zero account incurs fees.
| Account type | USD/JPY | EURUSD | Transaction fees | Minimum spread display on account page | Minimum account balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECN Zero | 0.2 pips | 0.1 pips | Yes (FX is a flat rate of $6) | 0.0 pips ~ | $100 |
| PRO | 0.8 pips | 0.7 pips | none | 0.5 pips ~ | $100 |
| Optimus | 1.3 pips | 1.0 pips | none | 0.8 pips ~ | $0 |
| Standard | 1.8 pips | 1.6 pips | none | 1.3 pips ~ | $0 |
| Mini | 1.9 pips | 1.8 pips | none | 1.5 pips ~ | $0 |
| CryptoX | — (For crypto assets only) | — | none | 100 points and up | $100 |
The "Minimum Spread" on the account page is an estimate for the entire account and differs slightly from the values in the stock chart (the actual minimum values for each stock). This article uses the values in the stock chart that can be compared for each stock. Differences in leverage and stop-loss levels for each account are explained in " FXGTAccount Type Comparison " and " FXGTLeverage Restrictions "
ECN Zero is compared based on its actual cost including fees
According to the official website, the fees for an ECN Zero account are: "Total FX assets: a flat rate of $6", "Precious metals: $7 at the start of trading (one-time payment)", and "Crypto assets: 0.04% at the start of trading (one-time payment)" (the instrument list shows that crypto assets other than BTC are charged 0.1%). Since it is not stated whether the $6 for FX is for a round trip or a one-way transaction for one lot, this article calculates the effective cost for the eight major pairs assuming a round trip of $6 (or a one-way transaction)
| currency pair | ECN Zero (spread + commission) | PRO | Optimus | Cheap account |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 0.1＋0.6＝0.7 | 0.7 | 1.0 | ECN Zero and PRO are the same |
| GBPUSD | 0.2＋0.6＝0.8 | 0.8 | 1.2 | ECN Zero and PRO are the same |
| AUDUSD | 0.5＋0.6＝1.1 | 1.3 | 1.4 | ECN Zero |
| NZDUSD | 0.8＋0.6＝1.4 | 1.4 | 1.6 | ECN Zero and PRO are the same |
| USD/JPY | 0.2＋0.9＝1.1 | 0.8 | 1.3 | PRO |
| EURJPY | 1.0＋0.9＝1.9 | 1.7 | 1.7 | PRO・Optimus |
| GBPJPY | 1.1＋0.9＝2.0 | 1.7 | 2.0 | PRO |
| AUDJPY | 0.2＋0.9＝1.1 | 1.1 | 1.3 | ECN Zero and PRO are the same |
When comparing the eight major currency pairs including fees,the ECN Zero account is either the same as or cheaper than the PRO account for dollar-denominated currency pairs, while for yen-denominated pairs such as USD/JPY, the ECN Zero account is either the same as or cheaper than the PRO account. However, when the same calculation is performed on the 16 currency pairs, the ECN Zero account is cheaper for CAD/JPY and CHF/JPY even in yen. Since the ECN Zero account's fees are determined in dollars, the weaker the yen becomes, the higher the pip-converted fee will be for yen-denominated currency pairs. If the fee is $6 one way ($12 round trip), the ECN Zero account will be more expensive than the PRO account for all eight major currency pairs. If you want an account with no fees and narrow spreads, the PRO account should be your first choice.
