Cost model: spread + round-turn commission, EUR / USD reference pair, pip value $10 / lot. Real cost varies with quote currency, slippage and overnight swap. Numbers from broker MDX frontmatter sourced from public account-type sheets.
How the cost model works
Cost per trade equals the spread in pips times the pip value in your quote currency, plus the round-turn commission on commission-based accounts. The default reference pair is EUR / USD with pip value $10 per standard lot. Annual cost is weekly cost times 52, monthly cost is weekly cost times 4.33.
Real cost varies with quote currency, slippage, overnight swap fees and account-currency conversion. The calculator gives you the static fee floor — the cost you pay even when the market moves in your favour.
Why this matters
A 1-pip spread difference on 10 trades a week at 1 lot costs you roughly $5,200 a year. Most retail traders never run this number on their broker before opening an account. Once you do, the spread chart on a broker's own homepage stops looking like marketing and starts looking like rent.
