Fee summary
Deriv provides provisions for a very exploitable and very copious spread starting from zero pips for MT5 Financial STP accounts, as the Standard Account has its commission cost. There are going to be overnight swaps for most post-trading. Nothing is exchanged between the two parties-except for automatic Islamic deposits. Subject to terms and conditions, inactivity fees remain current per applying through Societe Generale's standard regulations regarding Deliv.

Cost checklist

  1. 1Open the broker's current fee schedule and save the URL.
  2. 2Check spreads, commissions, swaps, withdrawal fees, inactivity fees and FX conversion fees.
  3. 3Match costs to the account type and platform you would actually use.
  4. 4Confirm whether advertised zero-commission terms are offset by spreads or other charges.
  5. 5Use InvestorTrip's cost calculator as a scenario tool, not as live broker pricing.
