Fees and costs
GKFX offers low spreads starting from 0.1 pips for major forex pairs. Commission fees may apply to certain account types, especially the ECN accounts, but these commissions are competitive and provide value for active traders. Swap rates are charged on overnight positions and vary depending on the currency pair and market conditions. Traders should check the current swap rates in their platform before holding positions overnight. GKFX charges an inactivity fee for accounts that remain dormant for a period of time. This fee ensures that inactive accounts are maintained efficiently and that the platform remains active for those who need it.
