Exness Raw Spread Trading in New Zealand

Understanding Raw Spread Account Structure

Our company offers Raw Spread accounts tailored for traders aiming for direct market access and minimal spread markups on forex and CFD instruments. This account type removes traditional spread markups, charging only the interbank spread plus a fixed commission per trade. Active traders benefit from predictable trading costs, unaffected by market volatility.

Raw Spread accounts utilize an advanced liquidity aggregation system connecting to over 50 tier-1 banks and prime brokers. Spreads start from 0.0 pips on major pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY. Commissions range from $3.50 to $7.00 per standard lot, depending on the chosen instrument and account balance.

Our platform operates through servers in London, New York, and Hong Kong, ensuring execution speeds averaging 0.3 milliseconds. Over 99.9% of orders execute at requested prices under normal market conditions. Separate liquidity pools serve forex, precious metals, energy commodities, and stock indices.

This account type is ideal for scalping, high-frequency trading, and institutional position management. Traders can monitor real-time spreads via our platforms before order placement.

Spread Analysis and Market Conditions

Raw spreads reflect interbank pricing and fluctuate between 0.0 and 0.5 pips on major pairs during active sessions. Historical spread data is available for analysis. Real-time spread monitoring assists traders in timing their trades for cost efficiency.

EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY maintain the tightest spreads, especially during London and New York overlaps. Exotic and minor pairs have wider spreads due to liquidity differences.

• EUR/USD: 0.0-0.3 pips during main sessions
• GBP/USD: 0.1-0.4 pips with occasional volatility spikes
• USD/JPY: Consistently 0.0-0.2 pips across Asian and London hours
• AUD/USD: 0.2-0.5 pips due to regional market activity
• NZD/USD: 0.3-0.8 pips, tighter near Wellington trading hours

Our liquidity aggregation ensures the best bid/ask prices by sourcing from banks, central banks, and ECNs. Pricing feeds are optimized for New Zealand trading hours.

Commission Structure and Cost Calculation

Commissions on Raw Spread accounts depend on instrument categories. Forex majors incur $3.50 per standard lot, minors and exotics $5.00. Metals like gold and silver charge $4.00, and energy commodities $6.00 per lot.

Volume-Based Commission Discounts

Monthly trading volume discounts start at 500 lots: 5% reduction for 500-999 lots, 10% for 1,000-4,999 lots, and 15% for volumes exceeding 5,000 lots. Volume is calculated using standard lot equivalents across mini and micro lots.

Cost Comparison Analysis

Traders executing over 10 lots monthly typically save costs using Raw Spread accounts. For instance, 50 lots on EUR/USD would incur approximately $175 in commissions versus $300-400 in spread costs on standard accounts. The platform features a cost calculator to compare account expenses based on individual trading patterns.
