Spread Structures and Trading Costs
Our XAU/USD spreads vary with market conditions, typically ranging from 0.3 to 1.2 pips. During Philippine market hours (9:00 to 17:00 PHT), spreads tighten due to higher liquidity. Commission-based accounts offer spreads from 0.1 pips plus $7 per lot round-turn commission. Overnight swap rates apply based on interest differentials and storage costs, updated weekly and visible in platform position details.
| Account Type | Typical Spread | Commission | Minimum Deposit |

| Raw Spread | 0.1-0.4 pips | $3.5 per side | $200 |

Cost Calculation Examples
A 1 lot (100 ounces) XAU/USD trade with a 0.5 pip spread costs approximately $5 on a standard account. Commission accounts add $7 round-turn, totaling around $8 to $10 per trade. Philippine peso deposits convert at interbank rates plus a 0.25% fee, credited within 15 minutes of confirmation.

Philippine traders receive detailed margin impact before order placement.
