One Tick on Your Phone vs a Recorded Day of Raw+ Spreads · Australia
Real spreads we recorded on FxPro’s own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ feed — 6 instruments, 3,714,831 ticks sampled, last captured 2026-09-18. The spread you actually trade on, not a marketing ‘from 0.0’.
Open FxPro Account →Your phone shows the spread on one instrument at one moment — the gap between the two prices on the quote screen, true at that second and gone by the next. What it cannot show is the shape behind that number: the tightest quote of a quiet session, the level you usually trade at, the wider figure that turns up roughly a tenth of the time, and the way all three move through the trading day. Those are recorded here from FxPro's own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ feed. Read the page as the context your app leaves out: a live reading tells you what the market is doing right now, the hourly tables tell you whether right now is a good time to be doing it, and the cost table adds the Raw+ commission of $3.50 per lot per side, which no quote screen on any device carries.
This is the live, hour-by-hour measured spread feed (refreshed daily). For the Standard vs Raw+ cost comparison and fees, see our spreads & costs page.
Measured Raw+ spreads (pips)
| Instrument | Best (min) | Typical (median) | Busy market (p90) | At capture | Ticks sampled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 457,098 |
| GBP/USD | 0.6 | 0.6 | 0.6 | 0.6 | 590,492 |
| AUD/USD | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.8 | 0.4 | 511,715 |
| USD/CAD | 0.1 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 465,429 |
| USD/JPY | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 717,421 |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 15 | 15 | 19 | 15 | 972,676 |
Best = the tightest quiet-market quote we saw; Typical = the median you usually trade; Busy market = the wider spread to expect about 10% of the time (news, rollover, thin liquidity). ‘At capture’ is the live spread at the last reading. Metals such as XAU/USD use a different contract size, so their cash cost is on our gold page. Server FxPro-MT5 Demo, feed 2026.09.15 14:10:41.

Table hours are FxPro server time (about UTC+3 / EET); the highlighted guidance above follows your selected zone. Average pip spread by hour over the last 24 hours, with the worst single-tick spike. Spreads run tightest in the peak London–New York overlap and widen around the 00:00 server rollover and the thinner Asian hours — the sparkline is each instrument’s daily shape.
What it costs you per lot (Raw+)
| Instrument | Typical spread | Spread cost / lot | Commission (round turn) | All-in / lot | All-in (pips) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 0.2 pips | $2.00 | $7.00 | $9.00 | 0.9 pips |
| GBP/USD | 0.6 pips | $6.00 | $7.00 | $13.00 | 1.3 pips |
| AUD/USD | 0.4 pips | $4.00 | $7.00 | $11.00 | 1.1 pips |
| USD/CAD | 0.4 pips | $2.87 | $7.00 | $9.87 | 1.37 pips |
| USD/JPY | 0.3 pips | $1.94 | $7.00 | $8.94 | 1.38 pips |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 15 pips | $15.00 | $7.00 | $22.00 | 22 pips |
All-in round-turn cost for one standard lot (100,000 units): typical spread × pip value, plus the $7 Raw+ commission ($3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 round turn) on Raw+ and cTrader accounts). On a Standard account you pay a wider spread instead of that commission — see the full spreads and costs page.
Open FxPro Account →Advertised ‘from 0.0’ vs what we measured
FxPro markets Raw+ as spreads ‘from 0.0 pips’ — a best-case floor. Across our sample the tightest EUR/USD quote we recorded was 0.1 pips and the typical was 0.2 pips. That is normal: the ‘from’ figure is a floor you rarely trade on, so judge a Raw+ account by its typical spread and how far it widens under load (the p90 column), not the headline number.
How we measured this
- Recorded on FxPro's own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ account — the broker's real pricing feed, not a third-party estimate.
- Captured in-terminal by an MQL5 expert advisor that logs every tick's bid and ask, so the spread is exactly what the platform shows.
- 3,714,831 ticks across 6 instruments; the figures refresh on a schedule.
- Demo and live Raw+ share the same pricing feed, so these spreads are representative of a funded account.
Spreads are variable and widen around high-impact news and the daily rollover. Past readings do not guarantee future spreads. Last updated 2026-09-18.
One quote against a recorded distribution
A live quote and a measured distribution answer different questions, and a phone can only supply the first. The quote answers what it costs to trade this instrument at this instant. The distribution answers what it usually costs, how good the best moments are, how bad the routine bad ones are, and when in the day each of them tends to happen. No single reading produces that, however often it is refreshed.
That is why a tight number in the app is reassuring rather than informative. Held against the recorded typical and busy-market columns, the same number becomes usable: either you are looking at an ordinary moment, or at an unusually good or bad one, and the two call for different decisions.
Wide tables, narrow screens
Everything on this page is deliberately in table form, because a distribution does not survive being summarised into one figure. On a phone the tables scroll sideways rather than dropping columns, and the hour tables can be switched into the Australian zone your terminal runs in, so the times line up with the hours you actually trade.
The practical way to use a wide table on a small screen is to stop trying to read all of it. Take the row for the instrument you trade and two columns from it — the typical spread and the all-in cost per lot — and leave the rest for when you are at a desk.
What you carry back to the app
Two things travel well: one cost figure per instrument, and the knowledge of which hours are routinely wide. With those in your head the phone has one job left, which is confirming that this second looks like the moments the table describes.
If the live quote is far wider than the typical column, that is information rather than an error: it is the same widening the hourly table records around the rollover and in the thin hours. What holding a position overnight adds on top is on our swap rates page; how the two account types price the same instrument is on spreads and costs.
