What one standard lot costs, by broker

On EUR/USD, Fusion Markets’ Zero account costs about $5.50 per round-turn lot. That is roughly 21–31% less than IC Markets ($7.00 on cTrader, $8.00 on MT5).

All-in cost per standard lot, round turn, EUR/USD
Data as of 15 Oct 2026, all six brokers on a verified basis. All-in = average spread (pips) × $10 + round-turn commission.
