Forex Trading Costs & Fees

Our only cost to execute a forex trade is the spread, starting at just 0.8 pips, thanks to our $0 commission1 model. If you’re holding a position overnight, our competitive rollover rates include some of the lowest overnight funding fees in the US.

  • Overnight funding fees 
    When you trade forex with us, you trade on margin. This means you provide a deposit to open a position, and we, in effect, lend you the rest of the money required. There is no funding fee if you close your position on the same day. If you keep it overnight, we charge a small fee to cover the cost of the money you've effectively borrowed. The fee is calculated as the tom-next rate plus a small admin fee. 
  • Currency conversion charges 
    Trading forex pairs with a quote currency that isn't US dollar may incur a currency conversion charge. When a qualifying position is closed, the profit or loss is converted to US dollars with a 0.5% charge included.

What is a spread in forex and how is it calculated?

The forex spread is the difference between the bid and ask prices, calculated: (ask price) – (bid price). At tastyfx, the spread is your only cost to execute a trade thanks to our $0 commission1 model. Spreads often depend on liquidity and volatility; for example, the highly liquid EUR/USD market can have as low a spread as 0.8 during active trading hours.

What is margin in forex and how does it work?

Forex markets are leveraged, meaning you pay a fraction of the position’s total value to open the trade. This opening amount is called margin. Since your profits and losses on forex positions are calculated on the full position size, you can lose or gain more than the amount you paid at the position’s opening.

Forex Volume Based Rebates

Our most active traders get even lower costs, including cashback forex rebates up to 15% on our already-competitive spreads. Find out if your forex trading would qualify for volume-based rebates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No, the only cost to enter a forex trade is the bid-ask spread. However, holding positions overnight can be subject to overnight funding charges. Learn more about overnight funding here.

A pip, or percentage in point, is the smallest whole unit used to measure movement in a forex pair. A forex pip usually refers to a movement in the fourth decimal place of a currency pair. So, if EUR/USD moves from $1.0736 to $1.0737, then it has moved a single pip. The decimal places that are shown after the pip are called micro pips, or sometimes pipettes, and represent a fraction of a pip.

All forex pairs are available to trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. Markets open at 4 pm on Sunday and close at 5 pm on Friday (EST).

SPREADS

Our forex spreads vary depending on underlying market liquidity. The more liquid the market, the narrower our spread – as low as 0.8 pips. As the underlying market spread widens, so can ours.

FOREX OVERNIGHT CHARGES

The overnight funding fee is calculated using the tom-next rate. These rates change daily, varying the funding fee each day. Mini and micro forex contracts are subject to a higher funding rate. Find more info on costs and charges here.

Tom-next is the rate used to calculate the funding adjustment when a forex position is held overnight. It is an industry-standard rate, derived from the interest rate differentials of the pair’s currencies and market expectations of interest rate change. Find more info on costs and charges here.

The spread is the difference between the bid price (where you can sell) and ask price (where you can buy) for a currency pair. This difference represents your cost to enter any forex trade, as you'll always buy at the slightly higher ask price or sell at the slightly lower bid price. Spreads can be as tight as 0.8 pips for major currency pairs during normal market conditions.
