"ECN", "Raw Spread", "Pro", "Standard" — every broker labels هەژمار differently. Strip the marketing and there are essentially two cost structures.
Standard هەژمار
- Wider spread, no کۆمسیۆن.
- Cost is bundled into the spread.
- Simpler for نوێ traders to track.
ECN / Raw / Pro هەژمار
- Tight raw spread, with explicit per-lot کۆمسیۆن.
- Cost = (raw spread × pip value) + کۆمسیۆن round-turn.
- Better for بەرز-frequency / scalping styles.
- Often requires a higher minimum deposit.
Which is cheaper?
Compute the all-in cost. EUR/USD example: Standard هەژمار at 1.2 pip spread = ~$12 round-turn per lot. ECN at 0.1 pip spread + $7 round-turn کۆمسیۆن = $1 + $7 = ~$8 round-turn. Raw is cheaper here. On wider-spread instruments the gap can flip.
Which fits which trader?
- بەرز-frequency scalpers / EA users → ECN almost always wins.
- Swing traders making 5–15 trades a month → either works; Standard is operationally simpler.
- Position traders holding for weeks → cost matters less than swap and reliability.
