BROKER COMPARISON / 01

THE DETAILS MATTER.

Compare trading conditions side by side.

These are snapshots of the cited public pages, not personalised offers. Countries, legal entities, account types, instruments and market conditions affect availability and costs. A group licence does not establish which entity will contract with you. Confirm that entity and its account documents before deciding.

RESEARCH NOTES

XM

Exness

“From” spreads are advertised starting levels, not average spreads or guaranteed execution prices. “Check official broker terms” means no dependable applicable value was established here.

ACCOUNT STRUCTURES / 02

FIND YOUR ACCOUNT STRUCTURE.

Understand how different account models affect trading costs.

Spread-based pricing

The bid–ask spread is a trading cost. No separate trading commission does not mean trading is free.

Commission-based pricing

Compare the spread plus any per-side commission for opening and closing the position.

Total cost, not one number

Include overnight charges, currency conversion and relevant funding fees. Check execution rules and platform access too.

The lowest advertised spread does not necessarily mean the lowest overall trading cost.

Do not assume each broker offers every model or that a model's name describes its total costs. Confirm minimum funding, swap terms, execution and instrument specifications with your actual contracting entity. Educational information, not a broker recommendation.

SOURCES & LIMITATIONS / 03

Trace the details.

Official pages checked: 25 October 2026. Conditions can change after this date. Links beside individual comparison values identify their sources; unavailable values are not estimated.

Platform pages can be served by a different regional entity from an account page. Platform listings here do not transfer account or regulatory terms between entities. This page does not establish your eligibility, country-specific promotions or complete charges; read the broker's applicable agreement.

RISK WARNING

Forex and CFD trading involve significant risk. Leverage amplifies losses as well as gains, and you may lose your invested funds or more where the applicable terms allow. Broker availability and protections depend on your jurisdiction and legal entity. Inner Turtle Trader provides educational research, not financial advice or a guarantee of results.

Broker registration is optional. It is not required for Premium membership or access to educational content. No broker ranking, endorsement or guaranteed outcome is implied.
