ECN / Raw account
Updated 2026-09-20
Definition
An account with very low spreads in exchange for a fixed commission per lot traded.
Why it matters
It suits those who trade often. Compare the total cost (spread + commission) against a standard commission-free account.
Practical example
Spread 0.2 pips + $7 per lot: a cost of about $9 per lot of EUR/USD.
