Raw Spread vs Standard
What is a Standard Account?
Key Features of Standard Accounts
1. No Commissions: Brokers make their profit by marking up the spread, so traders don’t pay a separate commission per trade.
2. Wider Spreads: Spreads are generally higher, starting from 1.0 pips or more, depending on the broker and market conditions.
Advantages of Standard Accounts
Beginner-Friendly: The lack of commissions simplifies cost calculations, making it easier for new traders to manage their expenses.
Lower Minimum Deposits: Standard accounts are more accessible, with some brokers allowing deposits as low as $10-$100.
