What Makes Alpari ECN Different from FxPro Raw+?

Before comparing the numbers, it is important to understand the purpose of each account and the conditions that may make it suitable for different traders.

Alpari ECN

The Alpari ECN account marks a clear transition from the spread-only Standard structure to tighter recorded spreads with a separate commission. According to Broker Alarab data, spreads range from 0.4–0.9 pips with a recorded average of 0.6 pips, commission is $3 per lot, the minimum deposit is $300 and orders use Market Execution. We categorize the account for experienced traders.

FxPro Raw+

The FxPro Raw+ account is a tight-spread option within the FxPro account lineup and is categorized by Broker Alarab for beginners. Spreads range from 0.0–0.3 pips, commission is $7 per lot, the minimum deposit is $100 and orders use Market Execution. This makes Raw+ particularly relevant to traders researching FxPro Raw pricing or comparing Raw+ directly with the commission-free Standard account.

Broker Alarab's Assessment

We see Alpari ECN as providing an important balance for experienced traders seeking tighter spreads than Standard without moving to the Pro ECN requirements. Recorded spreads are 0.4–0.9 pips with a 0.6-pip average, commission is $3 per lot and the minimum deposit is $300. A proper evaluation should therefore focus on total cost at the trader’s volume rather than the tighter spread alone.

Broker Alarab's Assessment

We see FxPro Raw+ as a clear option for traders who place greater importance on tight spreads and accept a separate commission. Its 0.0–0.3 pip range differentiates it clearly from Standard, but the $7-per-lot commission should not be overlooked. Raw+ is best evaluated by calculating total cost and comparing it with Standard at the trader’s actual volume and frequency.

  • ✓Recorded average spread is 0.6 pips
  • ✓Tighter recorded spread range than Micro and Standard

  • !A spread starting at 0.0 does not mean zero trading cost
  • !Beginners need to understand how spread and commission combine when calculating costs

Detailed Account Analysis

What Are the Alpari ECN Spread and Commission?

According to Broker Alarab data, recorded spreads range from 0.4–0.9 pips with a 0.6-pip average and commission is $3 per lot. The account should therefore not be evaluated using the 0.4-pip starting figure alone. A more meaningful cost calculation combines the spread encountered during trading with the commission generated by the traded lot volume.

Alpari ECN vs Standard: How Does the Pricing Model Differ?

Standard has recorded spreads of 1.2–1.7 pips, a $0 separate commission and a $100 minimum deposit. ECN has 0.4–0.9 pip spreads with a $3 per-lot commission and a $300 minimum deposit. ECN therefore shifts the pricing structure from primarily spread-based pricing toward tighter spreads combined with a separate commission.

Alpari ECN vs Pro ECN: Is Pro Always Cheaper?

Pro ECN has a tighter recorded range of 0.0–0.3 pips but increases commission to $4 per lot and the minimum deposit to $500. ECN has 0.4–0.9 pip spreads, a $3 commission and a $300 minimum. Pro cannot therefore be assumed to be automatically cheaper without considering spread and commission at the trader’s actual volume.

Detailed Account Analysis

FxPro Raw+ vs Standard: Which Account Fits Your Trading Style?

According to Broker Alarab data, Raw+ uses 0.0–0.3 pip spreads with a $7-per-lot commission, while Standard uses a 1.2–1.5 pip range without a separate commission. Both accounts start at $100 and use Market Execution. The comparison is therefore not simply between an expensive and inexpensive account but between two different pricing models. Traders should estimate spread and commission effects at their expected lot size and transaction frequency to determine which structure better fits their activity.

Does the FxPro Raw+ Spread Starting at 0.0 Mean Zero Trading Cost?

No. According to Broker Alarab data, the Raw+ spread range starts at 0.0 and extends to 0.3 pips, but the account carries a $7-per-lot commission. The minimum spread should therefore not be used alone as a measure of trading cost. Effective cost depends on the spread at execution together with commission linked to trade size. This distinction is particularly important when comparing Raw+ with Standard, which has no separate commission in our data.

Is the FxPro Raw+ Account Good for Beginners?

Broker Alarab categorizes Raw+ for beginners in our account data, but new traders need to understand the pricing model before choosing it. Unlike Standard, where cost is placed primarily within the spread, Raw+ separates pricing into a tighter spread and a separate commission. The structure is straightforward once understood, but it requires traders to evaluate complete transaction cost rather than focusing on spread alone. Beginners can therefore compare the accounts using expected transaction frequency and lot size.

Important details about the Alpari ECN account

The recorded commission is $3 per lot

Commission is a separate ECN cost component and should be calculated together with the spread rather than comparing accounts on spreads alone.

The recorded average spread is 0.6 pips

Spreads range from 0.4–0.9 pips, so 0.4 represents the beginning of the recorded range rather than the complete account cost.

The minimum deposit is $300

This is the account requirement recorded by Broker Alarab, higher than Standard and lower than Pro ECN, and it is not a recommendation for suitable capital.

Important details about the FxPro Raw+ account

Raw+ commission is listed at $7 per lot in our data

Broker Alarab data lists a $7-per-lot commission for Raw+. Commission should therefore be combined with the spread effect when calculating total trading cost.

The 0.0–0.3 pip range is not the complete cost

The ability for spreads to reach 0.0 does not mean a transaction is cost-free because the separate commission remains part of the account pricing model.

Raw+ and Standard both start at $100 in our data

Since the minimum deposit is the same for both accounts, comparison should focus more heavily on spread, commission, trading volume and transaction frequency.
