Spread cost = average spread in pips × value of one pip for your lot size, converted to your account currency at a daily mid rate. Figures are from published April 2026 averages, not live quotes.

At TabTrade, we've always believed average spreads matter more than minimum spreads. Traders don't trade marketing numbers for a few seconds a day, they trade real market conditions over time.
The result is a 0.04-pip average across seven major forex pairs, measured by Datalyst in April 2026.

A zero spread account is a trading account where the quoted spread on major pairs sits at or near zero and the broker charges a fixed commission per trade instead. TabTrade's version is the Edge account, with raw spreads from 0.0 pips and a $3.50 commission per side.
A zero spread account suits traders whose cost per lot is dominated by the spread, because the spread is passed through and the commission stays fixed at $3.50 per side. Occasional traders placing few lots may find a commission-free Standard account simpler to cost.
Zero commission means the broker's cost is built into a wider spread. Raw spread means the underlying market spread passes through unchanged and a fixed commission is charged separately. The two describe where the cost sits, not whether it exists.
The Edge account charges $3.50 USD per side, applied on opening and on closing. One standard lot therefore costs $7.00 round turn plus the raw spread. Standard accounts carry no commission.
Datalyst, a third-party pricing analytics provider, measured average spreads for eight brokers across the seven major pairs in April 2026. TabTrade's Edge account averaged 0.04 pips in that sample.
