Trading Costs

Two traders take the same setup and both catch the same move on gold. At the end of the month one is up, the other is flat. The difference isn’t the setup. It’s the fees.

What one gold trade really costs

• 1 lot of XAUUSD is 100 ounces. A 0.20 spread means you pay $20 per lot the moment you enter.
• Add a $7 round-turn commission: $27 per lot before price moves a single tick.
• Scalp 5 lots a day for 20 trading days and that’s 100 lots: $2,700 in costs every month.

That number never shows up on your P&L summary, but your account pays every cent of it. Cut part of it and your profits grow without taking a single extra trade.

Trade through FXScalpers, pay less

• Raw broker spreads. Accounts opened through FXScalpers carry no added markup.
• A rebate on every lot. Part of your fees comes back regularly, scaling with your volume.
• The right account for your volume. Raw or Standard depends on how many lots you trade a month (here’s the math). We run it for you before you open.
