On the Ultra Low Standard or Ultra Low Micro Account, the average EURUSD spread is approximately 1.0 pip. Spreads are variable and fluctuate with market liquidity \u2014 they are typically tightest during the London and New York overlap session (13:00\u201317:00 GMT) and widest during low-liquidity periods such as the Sydney open and around the New York close.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Does XM charge commission on trades?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"XM charges no commission on Standard, Micro, Ultra Low Standard, or Ultra Low Micro account trades. The spread is the only trading cost on these accounts. The XM Shares Account is the exception \u2014 commission applies at rates of $0.04 per share for US stocks (minimum $1), 0.10% for UK shares (minimum $9), and 0.10% for German shares (minimum $5).\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"How do I calculate the spread cost in dollars for an XM trade?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Spread cost in dollars = Spread in pips \u00d7 Pip value \u00d7 Number of lots. For EURUSD on a Standard Account at 0.1 lot: pip value is $1 (since 1 pip on 0.01 lot = $0.10, so 0.1 lot = $1 per pip). A 2.0-pip spread costs $2.00 per 0.1-lot trade.

These periods reduce the depth of available liquidity from XM's providers, which results in wider bid-ask spreads.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Is the XM Ultra Low account spread worth choosing over Standard?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For active traders placing multiple trades per day, the Ultra Low account's tighter spreads \u2014 approximately half of Standard \u2014 produce meaningfully lower total trading costs over time. For traders who place a small number of trades per week, the difference is minimal in dollar terms. The Ultra Low account does not support the same range of base currencies as Standard (6 vs 10) and is not eligible for deposit bonuses in some regions.\" }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Does XM use fixed or variable spreads?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"XM uses a variable (floating) spread system across all account types.

When you open a trade, you buy at the ask. When you close it, you sell at the bid. The spread is the gap between those two prices \u2014 and it represents the cost you pay every time you enter a position, regardless of which direction the market moves.<\/p>\r\n <p>At XM, the spread is the <strong>only<\/strong> cost on Standard, Micro, Ultra Low Standard, and Ultra Low Micro accounts. There is no per-trade commission added on top. This makes cost calculation straightforward: the wider the spread, the more the market needs to move in your favour before your trade becomes profitable. A 2-pip spread means the market must move 2 pips in your direction just to break even.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>Spread vs commission:<\/strong> Some brokers offer very tight spreads (close to 0 pips) but charge a separate per-lot commission \u2014 often $3 to $7 per side per standard lot. XM's commission-free model embeds the cost in the spread. Whether commission or spread is cheaper depends on trade volume and account type. For XM's Standard and Ultra Low accounts, no commission means the spread is the entire cost of every trade.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n <!-- SECTION 2 -->\r\n <h2 id=\"xm-spread-table\">XM Spread Comparison \u2014 Standard Account vs Ultra Low Account on Major Instruments<\/h2>\r\n <p>The Ultra Low account consistently offers spreads approximately half those of the Standard account across major instruments.

The same trader on an Ultra Low account pays 20 \u00d7 $1.00 = $20 per day. Over 20 trading days per month, that difference is $400 versus $200 \u2014 $200 per month in additional costs just from account type choice.<\/p>\r\n <p>For a swing trader who holds positions for days and places 5 trades per month, the difference is 5 \u00d7 $2.00 = $10 vs 5 \u00d7 $1.00 = $5 \u2014 a $5 monthly difference that is unlikely to be a deciding factor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n <!-- SECTION 4 -->\r\n <h2 id=\"when-spreads-widen\">When XM Spreads Widen \u2014 Trading Sessions and Market Events That Affect Spread Width<\/h2>\r\n <p>XM uses a variable spread system that reflects live liquidity conditions from its providers.

However, the variable spread will be wider \u2014 and slippage from fast market moves is possible. This is normal market behaviour, not a broker restriction.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n <!-- SECTION 5 -->\r\n <h2 id=\"fractional-pip\">Fractional Pip Pricing \u2014 How XM Quotes Prices Below 1 Pip<\/h2>\r\n <p>XM uses fractional pip pricing, displaying quotes with three decimal places for most JPY pairs and five decimal places for other pairs. A standard pip for EURUSD is the fourth decimal place (0.0001), but XM shows the fifth decimal place as well \u2014 meaning a spread of 1.0 pip might actually display as 10 in the fifth decimal, or a spread narrower than 1 pip shows as something like 0.8 (8 in the fifth decimal).<\/p>\r\n <p>This precision allows XM's pricing to reflect the finest available quotes from its liquidity providers without rounding up to the nearest full pip. The practical benefit is that actual executed costs can be marginally lower than they would be with a broker that rounds all quotes to full pips. For high-frequency or high-volume traders, these fractional differences accumulate across many trades.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>How to check live spreads in MT4 or MT5:<\/strong> Log in to MT4 or MT5 \u2192 right-click anywhere in the Market Watch panel \u2192 click \"Spread\".

The widest spreads typically occur around the New York market close (22:00 GMT), during early Sydney session hours, at the Sunday evening market open, and around high-impact economic releases such as US Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC decisions, and ECB press conferences.
