Raw Spread and Zero accounts are classified as Professional account types, and come with a few key differences to be aware of.
Spread
The minimum spread on Zero accounts is 0.0 for the top 30 instruments for almost the entire duration of a trading period, while Raw Spread accounts have ultra-low spreads. Essentially how much you value the cost of spread will determine which of these accounts are more preferable.
Commission
Both Zero and Raw Spread accounts feature spreads as low as 0.0 points; a basic commission rate of USD 3.5 per lot in one direction is used to compensate these low spreads, i.e. USD 7 for both open and close actions.
