Ask for the Spread with an Hour Attached — FxPro Raw+ in Uganda
Real spreads we recorded on FxPro’s own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ feed — 0 instruments, 0 ticks sampled, last captured 2026-07-24. The spread you actually trade on, not a marketing ‘from 0.0’.
Open FxPro Account →Some questions on a pre-deposit list have no single answer, and the price of a spread is the clearest example: it is not one number but a shape that changes through the day. That is why the measured table on this page reports the tightest quiet-market quote, the typical figure and the busy-market one side by side instead of a headline. Asked properly, the question carries an instrument, an account type and an hour — what does this pair cost on Raw+ during the hours I would actually be trading. Read that way the page closes three items in advance: what the ordinary cost looks like, how much wider it gets when the market is busy, and where in the day the widening tends to sit.
This is the live, hour-by-hour measured spread feed (refreshed daily). For the Standard vs Raw+ cost comparison and fees, see our spreads & costs page.
Measured Raw+ spreads (pips)
| Instrument | Best (min) | Typical (median) | Busy market (p90) | At capture | Ticks sampled |
|---|
Best = the tightest quiet-market quote we saw; Typical = the median you usually trade; Busy market = the wider spread to expect about 10% of the time (news, rollover, thin liquidity). ‘At capture’ is the live spread at the last reading. Metals such as XAU/USD use a different contract size, so their cash cost is on our gold page. Server FxPro-MT5, feed .
What it costs you per lot (Raw+)
| Instrument | Typical spread | Spread cost / lot | Commission (round turn) | All-in / lot | All-in (pips) |
|---|
All-in round-turn cost for one standard lot (100,000 units): typical spread × pip value, plus the $7 Raw+ commission ($3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 round turn) on Raw+ and cTrader accounts). On a Standard account you pay a wider spread instead of that commission — see the full spreads and costs page.
Open FxPro Account →Advertised ‘from 0.0’ vs what we measured
FxPro markets Raw+ as spreads ‘from 0.0 pips’ — a best-case floor. Across our sample the tightest EUR/USD quote we recorded was 0 pips and the typical was 0 pips. That is normal: the ‘from’ figure is a floor you rarely trade on, so judge a Raw+ account by its typical spread and how far it widens under load (the p90 column), not the headline number.
How we measured this
- Recorded on FxPro's own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ account — the broker's real pricing feed, not a third-party estimate.
- Captured in-terminal by an MQL5 expert advisor that logs every tick's bid and ask, so the spread is exactly what the platform shows.
- 0 ticks across 0 instruments; the figures refresh on a schedule.
- Demo and live Raw+ share the same pricing feed, so these spreads are representative of a funded account.
Spreads are variable and widen around high-impact news and the daily rollover. Past readings do not guarantee future spreads. Last updated 2026-07-24.
Questions that need an hour attached
Asked without a time, the spread question invites a floor figure in reply, and a floor is the one value you are least likely to trade on. Attach the hour and it becomes answerable: the same instrument prices one way during the peak London and New York overlap and another way around the daily 00:00 server rollover or in thin conditions.
That makes the hour part of your plan rather than a detail. Before funding, the useful form of the question is what this instrument costs during the hours I can actually sit at a screen — which is a question this page can answer, unlike the general one.
Ask for two numbers, not one
A single figure hides the property that matters most: how far the cost moves when conditions turn against you. The pair of numbers to ask for is the typical one and the busy-market one, and the distance between them is the answer to a question most lists never contain — how much worse than usual can this get.
The tightest quote seen in quiet conditions belongs in the same picture, but as a boundary rather than an expectation. Treated as a price it is misleading; treated as the edge of a range it tells you where the range starts.
What this page closes, and what it hands on
Closed here: the ordinary and busy-market cost of the pairs listed, and the times of day those figures belong to. Handed on: the choice between account types, which is priced on our spreads page, and the cost of keeping anything open past the rollover, which is on swap rates.
Also handed on, and worth asking before either of those: whether the size you intend to trade is one the account accepts at all. That belongs on our trading conditions page, and a no there makes every cost figure on this one irrelevant.
Two ways this question gets answered badly
The first is a floor. A best-case figure answers how good the quote can get, which is almost never what anybody wanted to know, and it sounds like a price because it is expressed as one. The second is a lone middle figure with nothing beside it: accurate, unhelpful, and silent about the end of the range where the surprises live.
Both go away when the question asks for a pair of numbers and names the hours it cares about. That is also the form in which an answer stays useful later — a typical figure and a busy-market figure for the pairs you actually hold, tied to the sessions you are actually at a screen for, rather than one number that describes neither.
Questions with no answer, and their answerable versions
| Asked this way | Why it has no answer | Asked this way instead |
|---|---|---|
| What is the spread at FxPro? | No instrument, no account, no hour | What is the typical spread on this pair, on Raw+, during the hours I would trade? |
| Is the spread tight? | Tight against what | How far apart are the typical and the busy-market figures on this pair? |
| Is a floor of 0.0 pips real? | A floor is a boundary, not a price | How much wider than the floor does the quote usually sit? |
| When is it cheapest to trade? | Cheapest differs by instrument | Which hours carry the widest readings on the pairs I hold? |
Every version in the third column names an instrument, an account type and a time. That is the whole difference between a question that gets a slogan back and one that gets a number.
What each column of the measured table answers
| Column | Question it answers | Question it does not answer |
|---|---|---|
| Best (min) | How tight has the quote ever been in quiet conditions? | What you will normally pay |
| Typical (median) | What does an ordinary trade on this pair cost? | What the worst minutes cost |
| Busy market (p90) | How wide does it get when the market is loaded? | How often those minutes arrive |
| At capture | What was the quote at the last reading? | Anything about other hours |
Read across a row and the pair of figures answers the cost question; read one cell on its own and it answers a narrower question than the one you asked.
