Commission Structures and Calculations
Raw+ Account Commissions
Raw+ accounts charge a commission of $3.50 per side on standard lots (100,000 units). This results in total round-trip fees of $7.00 per trade, often lower than spread-only costs for active traders. Commissions scale proportionally with position size, with micro lots incurring $0.035 per side.
cTrader Platform Fees
The cTrader account uses the same commission rates as Raw+ while offering enhanced order types and execution features. Commissions remain the principal cost, as deposits and withdrawals are free. Traders see commission fees clearly during order entry on the platform.
| Position Size | Commission Per Side | Round-Trip Cost | Equivalent Spread Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.01 lots (1,000 units) | $0.035 | $0.07 | 0.7 pips |
| 0.1 lots (10,000 units) | $0.35 | $0.70 | 0.7 pips |
| 1.0 lots (100,000 units) | $3.50 | $7.00 | 0.7 pips |
Overnight Swap Charges
Interest Rate Calculations
Swap fees apply to positions held past the daily rollover time at 5 PM EST. These fees reflect interest rate differences between currencies. Positive swaps add credit, while negative swaps incur charges. Rates update daily to factor in monetary policy changes.
Swap Optimization Strategies
Traders can reduce swap costs by closing positions before rollover or selecting pairs with favorable swap rates. Wednesday swaps charge triple fees due to weekend coverage. Monitoring swap rates and rollover times helps Kenyan traders minimize overnight expenses.

Fee Optimization Strategies for Kenyan Traders
Account Selection Guidelines
Kenyan traders should align account choice with trading frequency. We advise starting with demo accounts to test fee impacts without risk. Standard accounts are suitable for beginners; Raw+ accounts benefit regular traders. Our support team assists in selecting appropriate accounts based on trading profiles.
