Fee summary
FXCM offers competitive spreads, starting from as low as 0.1 pips on major currency pairs for Active Trader accounts. Standard accounts have slightly higher spreads but do not charge commissions, making them ideal for less frequent traders. Swap rates apply to positions held overnight. These rates are calculated based on the interest rate differential between two currencies and can vary depending on the instrument and market conditions. FXCM charges an inactivity fee after 12 months of no trading activity. Traders should ensure that they maintain regular trading activity to avoid any additional charges.

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.
