FundYourFX offers highly competitive trading conditions across all programs and account sizes. Here’s a full breakdown of spreads, commissions, and what to expect on different instruments.
Spreads
Raw spreads start from zero across all major instruments and all account levels. There is no difference in spread conditions between small and large funded accounts.
| Instrument Type | Spread |
|---|---|
| Forex (major pairs) | From 0.0 pips |
| Forex (minor & exotic pairs) | Variable — wider than majors |
| Indices (US30, NAS100, SPX500) | From 0.0 |
| Gold (XAUUSD) | From 0.0 |
| Silver (XAGUSD) | Variable |
| Oil (WTI, Brent) | From 0.0 |
| Natural Gas | Variable |
| Platinum & Palladium | Variable |
| Cryptocurrencies | From 0.0 |
Commissions
Commission structures vary by instrument and program. For the most current commission details specific to your account type, check the instrument specification within your MatchTrader platform — this shows the exact spread and commission for each instrument in real time.
Spread Widening — What to Expect
Spreads are variable and will widen significantly during:
- High-impact news events — NFP, CPI, central bank announcements, geopolitical events
- Low-liquidity periods — Late Friday afternoon, Sunday market open, public holidays
- Extreme volatility — Flash crashes, major market dislocations
This is standard across all prop firms and retail brokers — it mirrors real institutional market conditions. Traders should be aware of upcoming news events and manage risk accordingly, particularly around the daily loss limit.
Why Do Spreads Matter for Prop Trading?
Spreads directly affect your P&L and drawdown in a prop trading environment. Lower spreads mean:
- Less cost per trade — critical for high-frequency traders and scalpers
- More breathing room within your drawdown limits
- Better breakeven levels on every trade
- More accurate backtesting of your strategy against live conditions
Zero raw spreads on FX majors and gold means FundYourFX accounts are genuinely suitable for scalping and news trading — strategies that would be impractical with wider spread conditions.
Swap (Overnight Financing)
Swap charges apply when positions are held overnight. Swap rates vary by instrument and direction (long vs short). All swap rates are visible directly in the MatchTrader platform under instrument specifications. FundYourFX accounts allow overnight and weekend holding — there is no restriction on carrying trades past the daily close.
