Raw Spread accounts are designed for traders who want maximum control, lower spreads, and a clear cost structure. They're ideal for high-frequency strategies and scalping and for anyone who values precise execution.


Benefits

Ultra-low spreads: Get as close as possible to the real market spread — great for scalpers and intraday traders.

Transparent fees: You only pay a fixed commission per trade, so you always know what you're being charged.

More accurate entries and exits: Tighter spreads reduce slippage and improve execution for short-term trades.

Better for high-volume trading: Lower trading costs can make a difference when placing many trades.

Available on Demo and Real accounts: Test your strategies risk-free on the MT5 Demo account.

Works in all regions (GEOs).

Minimum deposit for real accounts: $200

📌 Tip: You can view the exact commission per instrument directly in the MT5 terminal before placing a trade.


💡 Tips for trading with a Raw Spread account:

  • Use it when trading volatile markets, where lower spreads help reduce costs.

  • Combine it with technical indicators to time precise entries.

  • Ideal for strategies like news trading, scalping, and automated trading (EA) on MT5.

  • Keep track of the commission per instrument — visible before each trade — to manage costs.
