Which is Better, Raw Spread or Standard Trading Account?

Yes, that is correct. I see most traders who prefer raw spread accounts are professionals.

Aisha: I just got here and am a bit confused as to why the ECN account is similar to the Raw Spread account. Meanwhile the Raw Spread account itself offers lower spreads than the Standard account. And what surprised me is that standard accounts have higher spreads, which may be a burden for some traders. In the meantime, of course, as a beginner, you should trade wisely and trade with a little less commission that you may incur while trading. And of course, with slightly lower fees, you can trade with a little peace of mind

What is the reason that most novice traders trade on standard accounts instead of raw spread accounts? Thank you very much! 

Torima: In my opinion, the ECN account especially at commission can be higher than standard account. Since it is very normal for broker to charge higher commission if they offered lowest spread. I think they do that in order to balance their profit after giving very low spread.

About the ECN itself, I do admit that spread in there can be very low and stabil. but if you don`t trade carefully at there, and especially traders who open more higher volume, may suffer the commissions. Though want to avoid some spread, you need to face the big commission too

Since the ECN acccount more prefered by pro especially scalper and EA trading, standard account may offer most simple trading condition that may suitable for novice 

Dakota Ross: Agree! Believe it or not, if you can manage your risk management, a demo account will help you learn all about Forex and be ready to trade live. If a trader with little money had more success in trading that could lead to limited profits, if he had a lot of money and could use it wisely, what would forex trading look like? it will be freer to open position without need to be fear about the floating loss either. Because forex itself requires more money to trade more freely. If you have $100,000 and trade 0.01 lots with leverage of 1:100; Trade Forex with as little as $100 and you'll feel a really different trade. 

Roger: It seems the information from this website needs to be updated because on the Peppertone website it is explained that they accept PAMM or MAM accounts. You can check it via this link.

Anita: No, I think you need to read more. I do agree about the PAMM explanation, which is very completed and clear. But I want to say that basically, a managed account is an account type that allows another trader to manage your trades. In fact, one of the types of managed accounts is the PAMM account.

So basically, PAMM and any other type of account can be managed by someone else, most of them are manager money or normally you can call it Managed Account.

And I think the post needs editing about the X in the managed account. 

John: I totally disagree. In fact, many STP type brokers can offer functionality similar to ECN accounts. Some of them may have advanced servers that can process orders faster and may even offer lower spreads than standard STP accounts. Eve, the brokers also call the account with Raw Zero Spread or Raw Spread account, but the spread can be slightly higher than the ECN account.

Aside from that, the fees charged seem to be similar. The best thing about an ECN account is that it offers features such as Depth of Market that allow you to see the actual state of the market which STP broker cannot provide.

Hey, I can break down your queries for you:

• 1. Do standard accounts typically have higher prices?
  Totally, it's pretty standard for standard accounts to jack up their prices a bit. They often throw in extra fees, which might not sit well with everyone. And just so you know, even those raw accounts aren't entirely fee-free; they sometimes hit you with commission fees.
• 2. What's up with that market price the article talks about?
  The article's market price is basically the standard rate for the item or asset you're dealing with. But here's the catch: in standard accounts, they might pad that price with some extra costs. For instance, imagine you're into stock trading, and a single share's market price is $100. In a standard account, they could slap on extra charges, like commissions, pushing that price up to, let's say, $105. (read : How To Choose Broker's Fees)
• 3. Can brokers legally inflate their prices if they're under regulation?
  Well, brokers usually operate under some regulations, keeping them in check. But it's essential to dive into the specific guidelines of the regulatory body overseeing them. While some price increases might be permissible, they can't be up to any sketchy business.
