Commissions

Alpha Capital offers two account types, selected at checkout. The Standard Assessment has no commission on any asset class. The Raw Assessment charges $2.50 per lot in each direction ($5 per round lot), except on indices which are commission-free on both account types. A round lot is 100,000 units of the base currency, and commission is charged on the full round turn (open and close). For active traders, these costs add up and should be factored into position sizing.

Spreads

Raw Assessment spreads start from 0.1. Standard Assessment builds the cost into a wider variable spread. Spreads widen during low-liquidity periods and around major news, and tighten during peak hours. Exact live averages per instrument can be viewed in your trading platform.

Swaps

Alpha Capital does not offer a swap-free account. Triple swap is applied on Wednesdays.

Triple swap is applied on specific days to account for the weekend settlement period.
