On a practice account the cost of a trade is visible and weightless at the same time: the number is right there on the ticket, and it comes out of a balance that was never yours. That is why beginners can rehearse for weeks and still be surprised by the first live month - not by the size of the cost, which is measured and published above, but by the fact that they now notice it. The habit worth building while still practising is small: read the cost line before you confirm the order, and write what you expected to pay into the journal at entry. A month later that one line is what lets you say whether cost ever changed a decision, or whether you simply learned to look at it.

This is the live, hour-by-hour measured spread feed (refreshed daily). For the Standard vs Raw+ cost comparison and fees, see our spreads & costs page.

Best = the tightest quiet-market quote we saw; Typical = the median you usually trade; Busy market = the wider spread to expect about 10% of the time (news, rollover, thin liquidity). ‘At capture’ is the live spread at the last reading. Metals such as XAU/USD use a different contract size, so their cash cost is on our gold page. Server FxPro-MT5 Demo, feed 2026.08.07 23:59:35.

Spread through the trading day (measured, last 24h)

Best hours to trade EUR/USD: the hours with the most price range for the spread you pay (measured tradability score — movement divided by spread): 03:30 IST (range 25.1p), 04:30 IST (range 21.4p), 02:30 IST (range 17.3p). The thinnest hours, where range barely covers the spread, are around 12:30 IST, 09:30 IST, 10:30 IST. Times are shown in IST.

Table hours are FxPro server time (about UTC+3 / EET); the highlighted guidance above is shown in IST. Average pip spread by hour over the last 24 hours, with the worst single-tick spike. Spreads run tightest in the peak London–New York overlap and widen around the 00:00 server rollover and the thinner Asian hours — the sparkline is each instrument’s daily shape.

All-in round-turn cost for one standard lot (100,000 units): typical spread × pip value, plus the $7 Raw+ commission ($3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 round turn) on Raw+ and cTrader accounts). On a Standard account you pay a wider spread instead of that commission — see the full spreads and costs page.

Advertised ‘from 0.0’ vs what we measured

FxPro markets Raw+ as spreads ‘from 0.0 pips’ — a best-case floor. Across our sample the tightest EUR/USD quote we recorded was 0.2 pips and the typical was 0.2 pips. That is normal: the ‘from’ figure is a floor you rarely trade on, so judge a Raw+ account by its typical spread and how far it widens under load (the p90 column), not the headline number.

How we measured this

Spreads are variable and widen around high-impact news and the daily rollover. Past readings do not guarantee future spreads. Last updated 2026-08-09.

Reading the cost line while it still costs nothing

The measured figures above come from the same feed a funded account trades on, so there is no version of this you have to wait for. What practice gives you is the chance to build the reading habit before it carries any weight - glance at the spread, decide whether the idea still makes sense at that number, then confirm the order.

Do it on every practice order, including the ones where the answer is obviously yes. A habit that only appears on difficult trades is not a habit; it is a reaction, and reactions are the first thing to go when the account is real.

One caveat worth checking early: know which pricing model your practice account uses. If the cost line looks nothing like the one you will meet on a funded account, the habit still transfers but the numbers in your journal will not compare. The cost breakdown lays out how the two models price the same trade.

The journal line that makes cost reviewable

Write the cost you expected to pay, at entry, before the outcome is known. It takes three seconds and it is the only version of that number that has not been edited by hindsight.

Add a second line only when the cost changed something - a size you trimmed, an entry you skipped, an hour you waited for. Those lines are rare in a first month, and their rarity is itself the finding.

What you are building is a record of attention rather than of arithmetic. The all-in figures above are already accurate; nothing you write improves them. What is missing from the platform, and only from the platform, is whether the number in front of you was doing any work at the moment you pressed the button.

Cost problems that arrive disguised as something else

The most common one looks like impatience. A trader who enters, exits and re-enters the same idea three times in a session has paid to be in that market three times, and the history shows the round trips even though nothing in the journal mentions cost at all.

The second looks like variety. Entries scattered across unfamiliar instruments usually mean the cost of each was never checked, because checking implies knowing what normal looks like on that symbol. Narrowing down to one instrument for a month fixes both problems at once, which is what the single-pair page is for.

The third looks like timing, and it is the one to be careful about diagnosing. Entering when the market is thin costs more than entering when it is not, but that is only a mistake if the hour was accidental. The journal line at entry is what separates a deliberate choice from a habit built around when you happen to be free - and the hours page is where that question belongs.

Building the cost habit before it costs anything

  1. Read the spread on the ticket before confirming every practice order, without exception, until the glance is automatic.
  2. Write the cost you expected to pay into the journal at entry, in the same wording each time.
  3. Add a second line only on the trades where cost actually changed what you did, and leave it blank otherwise - blanks are data too.
  4. Once live, keep both lines running unchanged for a full month, so the first live record compares directly with the practice one.
  5. At the weekly review, count how many entries mention cost at all, and read what those few decisions had in common.

Nothing here improves the measured numbers above. All of it improves whether they were in the room when you decided.

What practice teaches about cost, and what it cannot

Aspect of costLearned in practice?What the first live month adds
Where the number appears on the ticketYes - identical layoutNothing; this part transfers whole
Roughly what normal looks like on a symbolYes, with repetitionOnly that you now check it
Whether the number changes a decisionNoThe rare entries where it plainly did
Whether you re-enter the same idea repeatedlyVisible, but painlessThe same pattern, now paid for
Whether the cost was worth the tradeNot answerableA month of entries read back together

The reading habit is free to build and transfers intact. The noticing is the part that only starts when the balance is yours.

Journal lines about cost and what each one is for

LineWritten whenWhat it answers at review
Cost I expected to payAt entry, every tradeWhether the number was even looked at
Cost changed my decisionAt entry, only when trueHow often cost does any work at all
Instrument and why this oneAt entryWhether unfamiliar symbols are being priced blind
Re-entry on the same ideaAt entry, when it appliesHow much of the month was paid for twice
Hour chosen or hour availableAt entryWhether timing is a decision or a schedule

Five lines, all written before the outcome. Read a week later they describe the month far better than the balance does.

Frequently asked questions

Does a practice account show the same cost as a funded one?
It shows the same feed, so the reading habit transfers directly. Check which pricing model the practice account uses before comparing journal lines across the two, because an all-in spread and a raw spread with commission put the cost in different places.
What is worth writing about cost at the moment of entry?
One line: what you expected to pay to get in. Written at entry it is evidence. Written after the position closed it becomes part of the story about the result.
How do I practise reading the spread before it matters?
Glance at it before confirming every practice order, including the obvious ones, until the glance needs no prompting. A habit that only shows up on hard trades is a reaction rather than a habit.
Which first-month mistake is really a cost problem in disguise?
Re-entering the same idea several times in a session. The history shows the round trips plainly, while the journal usually blames patience, and the two together are the finding.
Should a beginner think about cost at all in the first month?
Enough to notice it, not enough to optimise around it. The useful outcome of a first month is knowing whether cost ever entered a decision - a question that needs one written line per trade to answer.
How does the weekly review use the measured table above?
As a reference point rather than a target. Compare what you wrote you expected against what the measured figures actually say, and treat a persistent gap as a sign you are trading a symbol you have not learned yet.
