Understanding Trading Costs

Trading costs consist of three components:

• Spread — The difference between bid and ask prices (main cost for most brokers)
• Commission — Fixed fee per lot charged by some brokers
• Swap/Overnight — Financing fee for positions held overnight

Cost Optimization Tips

• Trade during high liquidity — Spreads are tightest during London/New York overlap
• Choose low-spread brokers — UZFX offers competitive spreads starting from 0.8 pips
• Avoid holding overnight when possible — Swap fees add up over time
• Compare total cost — A broker with lower spread but higher commission may cost more
