FxPro Raw+ Account [Malaysia]
The FxPro Raw+ account: raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus a commission, built for active traders and scalpers.
Open FxPro Account →The FxPro Raw+ account splits your trading cost into a part the calendar can move and a part it cannot. According to FxPro, it shows spreads from 0.0 pips on major pairs and charges a commission of $3.50 per lot per side instead of building the cost into a wider spread, so when a scheduled release widens quotes only the spread half of the bill reacts while the commission stays exactly where it was. On the Standard account there is no separate line at all: the whole cost lives inside the spread, and a release moves all of it. Raw+ is a raw-spread account aimed at active traders who want the tightest possible spreads, which suits frequent traders and scalpers where small per-trade savings add up, and it runs on MetaTrader 4 with a similar raw-pricing model available on cTrader. Which account fits still depends on how often you trade, but around the calendar the more useful question is how much of your cost you can know before you click.
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) — tight and steady enough to scalp.
- Across the majors the measured spread sat at or below an independent interbank reference feed (EUR/USD +0.18, AUD/USD +0.04, USD/CAD −0.4 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:
| Order size | Commission (Raw+) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 lot | $4.00 per side |
| 0.1 lot | $3.50 per side |
| 1.0 lot | $3.50 per side |

The half of the cost the calendar cannot move
Every cost on a Raw+ ticket falls into one of two buckets. The commission is fixed at $3.50 per lot per side and scales only with volume, so whatever the market is doing at that second, one lot costs the same to open. The spread is variable by design, and a scheduled release is the sharpest thing that happens to it all session.
Splitting the bill this way is the practical advantage of a raw account around the calendar. Not that the total is always smaller, but that a known part of it stays known. On an all-in account the same trade has one number instead of two, and that number is the one the release acts on.
Predictability, not just tightness
Raw pricing is usually sold on how small the spread is. In a release window the more interesting property is how much of the cost could have been written down beforehand. A trader who knows the commission line can plan the trade as a fixed fee plus a spread discovered at the moment of entry, and can decide in advance how much of that unknown to accept.
That framing also sets the limit of the idea. A fixed commission shelters nobody from a widened spread; it only stops the whole cost from being unknown at once.
What to check on the account before a scheduled release
Three things are worth confirming before an event, and none of them needs a forecast. The commission tier for the size you intend to trade, because that is the part you are locking in. The instrument, because a release in one currency does nothing to a pair that does not hold it. And the platform, since Raw+ runs on MetaTrader 4 while cTrader offers a similar raw model, so the ticket in front of you should be the one you rehearsed on.
Our minute-by-minute measurements of recent release windows are on the news spread page, and the ordinary daily spread profile behind them is on live spreads.
A release-day checklist for a Raw+ ticket
- Read the calendar entry and its importance, and note which currency the figure belongs to.
- Confirm the instrument on your ticket actually holds that currency: a release in one currency does nothing to a pair without it.
- Look up the commission tier for the size you intend to trade. That part of the bill is fixed at $3.50 per lot per side and will not move.
- Decide how much spread you are prepared to pay on entry, because that is the only cost you will discover at the moment you click.
- Decide in advance whether you are entering before the print, after quotes settle, or not at all, and set the stop distance against a release-width spread rather than a quiet one.
None of these steps requires a view on what the number will be.

What traders report
Gold is where this set splits. One trader does the arithmetic and finds the per-side fee reasonable once the metal's small markup on the spread is added in; the three-star review flatly disagrees, calling the gold spread too wide for scalping and unworkable at size, and reporting unfavourable movement when positions are closed. The third voice never leaves forex, where what he singles out is execution speed and payout time rather than pricing.
Only 3.5$ for a side of a trade is actually good pricing, when fx majors start from 0️⃣ pips... the same goes to gold plus a little of 10 cents on the spread, and this is reasonble.
The gold spread is very high and is not suitable for scalping at all. In addition, when closing positions, the profit and loss change unfavorably, which makes it unsuitable for trading with large volumes.
