Raw Spread · MT4/MT5 · instrument-specific quote
Quote needed
Raw Spread commission depends on the instrument. The overview advertises up to USD 3.50 per lot per direction on most instruments; confirm the current EUR/USD rate in your account's contract specifications. The calculator needs the full opening-and-closing amount. Standard, Standard Cent and Pro are separate commission-free accounts, with spreads and other costs still applicable.

Advantage · MT4/MT5 · USD forex illustration
USD 7 round turn

Three differences to check before applying
Compare the total, not a zero-spread headline
An assumed 0.2-pip EUR/USD spread costs USD 2 for one standard lot in a USD account. Add FXTM Advantage's USD 7 round-turn commission for a USD 9 illustration. Exness Raw Spread's headline is not an exact EUR/USD quote: enter the instrument's current full commission before comparing. Use spreads from the same session and add overnight charges separately.
Match the funding requirement to the account
Exness Raw Spread funding starts at USD 200 and depends on region; FXTM Advantage lists USD 500 for a USD account. These are account-specific entry amounts, not universal broker minima or trading fees. Exness Standard, Standard Cent and Pro, and FXTM's current Rewards Plus offering use different pricing. Confirm the account, company and payment method before depositing.
Commission timing does not change the full fee
Exness Raw Spread collects both commission sides when the trade opens. FXTM Advantage on MT4 also collects the full round turn upfront; on MT5 it splits the charge between opening and closing. Compare the complete trade rather than its opening debit. FXTM's forex rate does not establish the commission for gold, indices or other products.
Funding, platforms and source notes
Exness
Raw Spread initial funding starts at USD 200 and varies by geographic region. Check your offered account's threshold and payment-method limit separately; this is not a universal Exness minimum.
Raw Spread supports MT4 and MT5. Both commission sides are charged when the position opens; do not add another closing charge if the opening debit already covers the full trade.

FXTM

Advantage supports MT4 and MT5. FXTM's current public spread-only alternative is named Rewards Plus; its pricing is separate. The sources do not establish an exact small-lot rounding rule, so scaled calculator figures are estimates rather than confirmed small-trade debits.

Before funding: compare how you can withdraw
Check the withdrawal method before funding, especially if you might return money without placing a trade. The policies below allow charges in that situation; neither establishes that every withdrawal is free or arrives instantly.
Exness
Available withdrawal methods depend on your registered region and verification. Your Personal Area lists each method's limits and processing times, and the receiving account must be in your legal name. Exness reserves the right to investigate, cancel or charge fees for withdrawals from accounts without trading activity. Confirm the method and total costs before funding.
Read Exness’s withdrawal policy ↗FXTM
The payment terms allow charges equal to banking fees incurred or 3% of the withdrawal when there has been no trading activity. Initial deposits return to their original funding source; the receiving account must be in your name. Check current method fees and processing times in MyFXTM, including conversion and payment-provider charges. Extra verification can delay processing.
Read FXTM’s withdrawal policy ↗Before choosing either account, confirm the receiving method, expected arrival time, verification status and total charges for your country and legal company. These are published policies, not withdrawal tests. Sources checked .

Common questions

At an assumed 0.2-pip EUR/USD spread, the FXTM example totals USD 9; Exness stays unpriced until its commission is confirmed. Compare the full cost, account funding and withdrawal conditions for the company offered to you.
Which accounts does the cost example compare?
Exness: Raw Spread · MT4/MT5 · instrument-specific quote. FXTM: Advantage · MT4/MT5 · USD forex illustration. This is a USD EUR/USD illustration. Published commissions are scoped to the linked account documents, and the starting spreads are assumptions. Other entities, platforms, account tiers and currencies may price differently.
Does the brand's regulation apply to my account?
The legal company on your agreement determines which regulatory rules apply. Match that company to the official register and check whether it accepts retail clients in your country. A brand-wide score or a licence held by another group company does not settle this.
Can I open an account through Clarytrade?
Clarytrade provides broker research and comparison tools. If you choose to apply, the broker handles your application, identity checks and acceptance. Some outbound links earn Clarytrade commission; others are research-only routes. Country availability and referral availability are separate checks.
