Spread Cost
How it works
Spread cost per trade = Spread (pips) × Pip Value × Lots. A 1.5 pip spread on EURUSD at 1 lot costs $15 per trade. For a scalper trading 10 times a day, 20 days a month, that's $36,000/year just in spread — before commissions. ShaFX cashback can offset 30–60% of this cost depending on your tier.
