Raw+ in Qatar: One Account, Two Prices, One Separate Fee
The FxPro Raw+ account: raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus a commission, built for active traders and scalpers.
Open FxPro Account →Raw+ charges for a trade with a deduction instead of a wider quote: $3.50 per lot per side, $7.00 across a round turn, taken from the balance as a line of its own. The part people miss is what a deduction cannot do. It is charged on volume and on nothing else, so it does not answer to the hour, to which instrument the lots were traded in, or to how the trade turned out — and because it comes out of the balance rather than being written into the price, it cannot move where an order is executed. FxPro states that Raw+ quotes major pairs from 0.0 pips. A Standard account has no such line and carries the charge in the quote instead, from 1.2 pips on MT4.
What Raw+ actually delivers (measured)
What the Raw+ account actually delivered when we measured it on FxPro’s own MT5 feed:
- EUR/USD measured at a 0.2-pip median spread and about $9.00 all-in per standard lot.
- That breaks even in 0.9 pips, and the spread measured perfectly stable (stability ratio 1) — tight and steady enough to scalp.
- Across the majors the measured spread sat at or below an independent interbank reference feed (EUR/USD +0.18, AUD/USD +0.04, USD/CAD −0.4 pips).
- Market orders in our test filled in about 78 to 99 milliseconds with near-zero slippage and no rejects.
- Raw+ commission is tiered by order size, with a minimum on the smallest size:
| Order size | Commission (Raw+) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 lot | $4.00 per side |
| 0.1 lot | $3.50 per side |
| 1.0 lot | $3.50 per side |

What the deduction answers to
A commission is charged on volume. Send twice the lots and it is twice the amount; send the smallest ticket the account accepts and it is a hundredth of the rate on each side. Nothing else is one of its inputs. Not the hour, not whether the trade worked, not which instrument the lots were traded in, not how busy the market was when the order went in. That is unusual enough on a trading account to be worth saying plainly, because nearly every other figure attached to a position answers to at least two things at once.
It also means the amount exists before the trade does. Take the size you are about to send, multiply by $3.50, and that is one side of it; double it for the full round turn. There is nothing to look up and nothing to wait for. On an account that has no such line the same question has no answer in advance at all, because the charge has not been quoted yet — it will be whatever the quote turns out to be at the moment the order is executed.
What the deduction cannot reach
Because the charge comes out of the balance rather than being written into the price, it has no effect on where an order is executed. A resting instruction is triggered at the price the market reaches, and a position is reported at the price it could be closed at; the commission arrives afterwards, as an entry of its own, and changes neither of those. Two accounts can be filled at exactly the same prices all day and finish with different balances, and the whole of the difference will sit in a line rather than in a price.
What it cannot reach on your own side is the decision. Since the amount is settled by volume alone, it is the same whether an order was placed after an hour of thought or on impulse, the same on the trade you were sure about and the one you were not, and the same on the day everything worked and the day nothing did. Almost nothing else attached to a position behaves like that. This one line stands outside all of it and answers to a single number that you set yourself when you choose the size.
A quote with nothing left to carry
The other half of the arrangement is what the deduction leaves behind. Once the charge has been taken out separately, the quote has nothing of the account's to carry, and FxPro states that Raw+ quotes major pairs from 0.0 pips. Read structurally, that is a statement about what the arrangement permits rather than about any particular second: a quote that has to carry a charge cannot go below what it is carrying, and a quote carrying nothing has no such floor beneath it.
At the narrow end that produces the one case in which what a trade will cost is known exactly in advance: with the quote at its floor there is nothing left for the market to charge, and the whole bill is the deduction — $3.50 per lot per side, $7.00 across the round turn. Everything else lies between that case and a wide one. It is also the reason the deduction is simply known while the other part of the bill is read at the moment of acting: one of them was agreed when the account was opened, the other is made by the market while you watch.
What each part of the bill answers to
| Part of the bill | What it is charged on | What it does not answer to |
|---|---|---|
| The commission on Raw+ | Volume in lots, on each side of the trade | The hour, the instrument, how the trade turned out |
| The quoted spread | The market for that symbol at that second | Anything the account decides |
| An all-in quote with no commission line | Both at once, in a single number | Nothing: on that account the two are not separate quantities |
On Raw+ the deduction is $3.50 per lot per side and $7.00 across a round turn, whatever the market happens to be doing at the time.

What traders report
Raw+ users like the trade-off they came for: near-zero spreads with a fixed commission of around US$3.50 per side. Several say it suits forex majors, and some who started on the Standard account moved to Raw+ once they preferred paying commission for tighter spreads.
0 spreads on a raw account, plus a not expensive $3.5 fee, wasn't bad at all, for my wallet. Seemed to be exclusive for forex, luck for me, cuz I trade only majors.
Raw account is an ideal choice for trading on the forex cuz there are zero spreads. The trading conditions suit my strategy ideally.
Spreads are really tight, especially with the raw account.
I have tested the platform with the raw+ account, works decent, fees are lower than others I used, even considering the trading commissions.
I do prefer a raw account. When I started I liked the spreads in the standard account too, but over time liked the idea of commission and near to zero spreads better.
FxPro expects a min deposit of $100 before you start, but other than that, a raw account coupled with MT5 works without troubles.
