What is the Raw Spread (cTrader) account at IC Markets?

The IC Markets Raw Spread (cTrader) account combines tight Raw pricing with the cTrader-focused option among the five IC Markets accounts in Broker Alarab data. Spreads range from 0.0–0.3 pips, commission is $3 per lot, the minimum deposit is $200 and orders use Market Execution. We categorize the account for advanced traders. Its most important comparison is with the regular Raw Spread account. Raw Spread (cTrader) and Raw Spread share the same 0.0–0.3 pip spread range and $200 minimum deposit in our data, but their commissions differ. The cTrader account is listed at $3 per lot compared with $7 per lot on Raw Spread. Traders should therefore not assume that every account carrying the Raw Spread name has an identical cost structure. The account also differs clearly from Standard. Standard has no separate commission but uses a 0.8–1.0 pip spread range, while Raw Spread (cTrader) narrows that range to 0.0–0.3 pips in exchange for a $3-per-lot commission. For traders specifically researching an IC Markets cTrader account, platform preference, pricing structure and trading volume should therefore be evaluated together rather than selecting an account based only on its lowest listed spread.
