Original spread accounts often incur high transaction fees。However, there are some brokers that offer lower round commissions。

Over the years, the original spread account has become a favorite of many traders。Some brokers call it an ECN account, but the philosophy remains the same。In the original spread or ECN account type, the spread may be extremely low or even zero。However, the original spread account is not completely free。

In exchange for low spreads, brokers will charge commissions, which is how they make a profit by offering affordable trading services。Keep in mind that not all brokers have the same commission fees。Some may charge lower commissions, while others charge higher。Sometimes commissions are charged on a one-sided basis, but sometimes brokers prefer to charge commissions on a round basis.。

How Brokers Charge Commissions？

In general, brokers offering unilateral commissions will require traders to pay twice。In this case, this means that the trader needs to pay a commission when opening the position and then again when closing the position。For example, a commission of $3 per side means paying $3 when opening a position and another $3 when closing a position。Total, $6 commission per round。

As a solution, some original spread brokers offer affordable round commissions。This way, transaction costs can still be reduced when trading in the original spread account。In addition to this, traders should also check other "invisible" costs, which may vary according to each broker's policy。
