What is the Raw account at FP Markets?

The FP Markets Raw account uses a pricing model that combines tight spreads with a separate per-lot commission. According to Broker Alarab data, spreads range from 0.0–0.3 pips with a recorded average of 0.1 pip, commission is $6 per lot, the minimum deposit is $100 and orders use Market Execution. We categorize the account for scalpers and active traders. The 0.0-pip minimum is one of the most notable figures associated with the Raw account, but it does not mean trading is cost-free. The $6 per-lot commission represents a separate part of the pricing structure, so transaction costs should be evaluated using both spread and commission. The recorded 0.1-pip average spread also provides additional context compared with looking only at the 0.0 minimum. Comparing Raw with Standard makes the pricing model clearer. Raw offers 0.0–0.3 pip spreads with a $6 per-lot commission, while Standard offers 1.0–1.5 pip spreads without a separate commission. Both start with a $100 minimum deposit and use Market Execution. For scalping or active trading, evaluating total cost becomes especially important because greater trading frequency and total lot volume increase the cumulative effect of commission.
Broker Alarab Analysis

Our verdict

We see FP Markets Raw as particularly relevant to traders prioritizing tight spreads, with its listed 0.0–0.3 pip range and 0.1-pip recorded average. However, the $6 per-lot commission is an essential cost component and should not be ignored. Evaluating Raw, especially against Standard, should therefore focus on expected total cost and trading volume rather than the spread figure alone.

Account analysis

Important details before choosing the Raw account

Key points to help you understand the important differences before choosing this account.

Does the FP Markets Raw Spread Start From 0.0 Pips?

Yes. The recorded minimum spread for FP Markets Raw is 0.0 pips, while the full listed range is 0.0–0.3 pips and the recorded average is 0.1 pip according to Broker Alarab data. The 0.0 figure does not mean trading is cost-free, however, because the account carries a $6 per-lot commission. Spread figures should therefore be read together with commission when evaluating costs.

FP Markets Raw vs Standard: Tighter Spreads or No Commission?

Raw and Standard use different pricing models. Raw has listed spreads of 0.0–0.3 pips with a $6 per-lot commission, while Standard has 1.0–1.5 pip spreads without a separate commission. Both accounts have a $100 minimum deposit. The comparison therefore centers on whether tighter spreads plus commission are more suitable for the trader’s expected volume and frequency than wider spreads without a separate commission.

Why Does Trading Volume Matter for FP Markets Raw Commission?

The recorded Raw commission is $6 per lot, making total traded lots an important factor when estimating costs. As cumulative trading volume increases, the commission component has a larger impact on total transaction costs. This is particularly relevant because the account is categorized for scalpers and active traders, trading styles that may involve greater transaction frequency than less active approaches.

Important notes

Important details about the FP Markets Raw account

Commission is $6 per lot

This commission is a core component of the Raw pricing model according to Broker Alarab data and should be evaluated alongside the spread when comparing Raw with Standard.

0.0 pips is the start of the spread range, not zero cost

The listed spread ranges from 0.0–0.3 pips with a 0.1-pip recorded average, but the separate commission means trading cost is not zero even when the spread reaches 0.0.

The minimum deposit is $100

Raw and Standard have the same recorded $100 minimum deposit. This figure represents an account requirement rather than a recommendation for appropriate trading capital.
