Commission calculation
1) Instruments with commission “per lot” (Forex, Metals, Commodities, Indices, Crypto)
Commission for opening = Lot size × Commission per 1 lot × Number of sides
Commission for closing = Lot size × Commission per 1 lot × Number of sides
Total commission = Commission for opening + Commission for closing
Note: in calculator, opening and closing are shown separately (one side each). If you need the full round-turn cost, sum both values.
Example (Forex): EURUSD, 1.00 lot, commission $1.5 per lot per side
Opening = 1.00 × 1.5 = $1.50
Closing = 1.00 × 1.5 = $1.50
Total = $3.00
2) Stocks (percentage-based commission)
For stocks, commission is calculated from the trade value:
Trade value = (Bid + Ask) / 2
Commission per side = Trade value × Lot size × 0.05%
Example (stocks): Bid 100.00, Ask 100.10, lot size 2.00
Trade value = (100.00 + 100.10) / 2 = 100.05
Commission per side = 100.05 × 2.00 × 0.0005 = 0.10005 (about $0.10)
Minimum commission rule
If the calculated commission is less than $0.01, the minimum charged commission is $0.01.
