What the $100 Minimum Buys on a Raw+ Account · FxPro India

What Raw+ actually delivers (measured)

What the Raw+ account actually delivered when we measured it on FxPro’s own MT5 feed:

• EUR/USD measured at a 0.2-pip median spread and about $9.00 all-in per standard lot.
• That breaks even in 0.9 pips, and the spread measured perfectly stable (stability ratio 1.5) — tight and steady enough to scalp.
• Across the majors the measured spread sat at or below an independent interbank reference feed (EUR/USD −0.1, AUD/USD +0, USD/CAD −0.5 pips).
• Market orders in our test filled in about 78 to 99 milliseconds with near-zero slippage and no rejects.
• Raw+ commission is tiered by order size, with a minimum on the smallest size:

A per-lot price list, met by a hundredth-of-a-lot ticket

Raw+ splits the cost of a trade into a spread you can see quoted and a commission you can see charged. Both are published per standard lot, and a small account sends 0.01 lot. One of the two survives the division intact: spread cost is strictly proportional to volume, so a hundredth of the size pays a hundredth of the spread, exactly. The other does not.

A hundredth of the quoted $3.50 per lot per side is three and a half cents, and a ticket settles in whole cents — so the smallest order pays a slightly higher effective rate per lot than the price list suggests. The measured commission table above shows what our round-trips actually paid at 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 lot, and the smallest row is the outlier. It is a small absolute number and a real structural one: it is the only part of Raw+ pricing that gets worse as the ticket gets smaller.

The floor, counted in cents

Put two order sizes side by side and the floor becomes visible. A 0.1-lot round-turn pays a tenth of the quoted per-lot rate on each side — the commission table above prints what it actually settled — plus a tenth of the per-lot spread cost. Shrink the order to 0.01 lot and the spread element falls by a clean factor of ten again, while the commission element falls by less than that. The bill gets smaller and the share of it taken by the commission gets bigger.

This is also why breaking one order into several does not help. Ten 0.01-lot round-turns carry ten roundings; one 0.1-lot round-turn carries the quoted rate once, for identical volume and identical spread cost. If the ticket is going to be small, it is worth sending it as one ticket rather than as a handful — the measured order rules allow any size from 0.01 lot up in 0.01-lot steps, so the choice is entirely yours.

What the $100 minimum actually buys

The minimum deposit is $100 and the price list above is written in dollars per lot. Translating one into the other is the whole exercise for a small account: take the all-in figure for the instrument, divide it by a hundred for a 0.01-lot ticket, and read the result as a share of the balance rather than as an amount of money. On a hundred-dollar account the majors come to a fraction of one percent per round-turn.

What the arithmetic does not do is continue below the floor. A hundredth of a lot is the smallest order the platform accepts, and there is no fractional tier underneath it — no half-cent of spread, no partial commission. So a small account works with two fixed points: the cheapest ticket it can send is 0.01 lot, and on that ticket the commission is the one line that does not shrink in proportion. Everything else on the bill is proportional. Those two facts, set next to the balance, are the whole of the small-account cost picture; the measured spread feed supplies the variable half.
