FP Markets Standard Account: Is It Right for You?

The FP Markets Standard account is the standard option for traders who prefer spread-only pricing without a separate trading commission. According to Broker Alarab data, spreads range from 1.0–1.5 pips with a recorded average of 1.2 pips, commission is $0, the minimum deposit is $100 and orders use Market Execution. It differs clearly from the Raw account, which offers tighter spreads in exchange for a per-lot commission.

What is the Standard account at FP Markets?

The FP Markets Standard account uses a relatively straightforward pricing model in which there is no separate trading commission and the recorded cost is primarily incorporated into the spread. According to Broker Alarab data, spreads range from 1.0–1.5 pips with a recorded average of 1.2 pips, the separate commission is $0, the minimum deposit is $100 and orders use Market Execution. We categorize the account for traders who prefer spread-only pricing. The key point when evaluating the Standard account is that commission-free pricing does not mean cost-free trading. The spread remains the main listed cost component. Its 1.0–1.5 pip range and 1.2-pip recorded average provide more context than the minimum spread alone, particularly when comparing Standard with the Raw pricing model. FP Markets Standard vs Raw presents a clear trade-off. Both accounts have a $100 minimum deposit and use Market Execution, but their pricing structures differ. Standard has 1.0–1.5 pip spreads with no separate commission, while Raw has 0.0–0.3 pip spreads with a $6 per-lot commission. The lower-cost account therefore cannot be determined from the spread alone; spread, commission and expected trading volume should be considered together.
Broker Alarab Analysis

Our verdict

We see FP Markets Standard as suitable for traders who prefer a straightforward cost structure without a separate per-lot commission. Its listed 1.0–1.5 pip spread range is wider than Raw, but Standard removes the $6 per-lot separate commission attached to the other account. The choice therefore depends on trading style and volume rather than the lowest spread alone.

Account analysis

Important details before choosing the Standard account

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

FP Markets Standard vs Raw: What Is the Cost Difference?

The primary difference is how trading costs are structured. Standard has listed spreads of 1.0–1.5 pips with a $0 separate commission, while Raw has 0.0–0.3 pip spreads with a $6 per-lot commission. Both require a $100 minimum deposit and use Market Execution, so the meaningful comparison centers on spreads, commission and expected trading volume.

Is the FP Markets Standard Account Commission-Free?

Yes. The separate commission recorded for FP Markets Standard by Broker Alarab is $0. However, commission-free pricing does not mean trading cost is zero because the listed 1.0–1.5 pip spread remains a key cost component. The spread should therefore be considered when comparing Standard with the tighter-spread Raw account and its separate commission.

How Should Traders Read the FP Markets Standard Spread?

Broker Alarab data records a 1.0–1.5 pip spread range and a 1.2-pip average for the Standard account. The average provides additional context compared with looking only at the 1.0-pip minimum. Traders comparing FP Markets account types should evaluate these figures together with the $0 commission and contrast them with the different pricing structure of Raw.
