What Does It Cost to Trade with FiveTec Global Capital?
FiveTec Editorial Team | Published on October 8, 2026 | 10 min read
The direct answer is that your trading cost with FiveTec Global Capital depends mainly on your account type, live spread, commission, position size and how long you keep the trade open.
FiveTec currently lists six account types:
Expert
Pro ECN
Classic
Standard
Max
Supermax
Minimum deposits currently range from $50 to $500, while most accounts list zero commission. Pro ECN uses a separate commission model.
The simplest way I look at trading cost is:
Spread + Commission + Overnight Cost + Any Other Applicable Charges
The smallest advertised spread does not automatically mean the lowest total cost.
That is the part worth understanding.
You can review the latest account specifications on the FiveTec Global Capital trading accounts page.
FiveTec Global Capital account costs in 2026
According to FiveTec's current website, the main account conditions are:
Expert Account
Minimum deposit: $50
Spread from: 1.0 pip
Commission: Zero
Pro ECN Account
Minimum deposit: $50
Pricing: Raw pricing
Commission: $10 per lot round turn
Classic Account
Minimum deposit: $50
Spread from: 1.5 pips
Commission: Zero
Standard Account

Commission: Zero
Max Account
Minimum deposit: $300
Spread from: 2.5 pips
Commission: Zero
Supermax Account

All six accounts currently show leverage of up to 1:500, a minimum trade size of 0.01 lots, a 100% margin call level and a 50% stop out level.
One important point deserves attention.
FiveTec's dedicated account page currently describes the Pro ECN account as offering raw spreads from 0.0 pips, while the homepage comparison section currently shows Pro ECN spreads starting from 1 pip.
Because those figures do not fully match, I would confirm the current live specification in the client portal or MT5 before making a cost comparison.
That kind of check matters more than relying on one headline number.
Is the minimum deposit a trading fee?
No.
A minimum deposit is the amount required to fund an account. It is not the same thing as a commission or spread.
For example, the Expert, Pro ECN and Classic accounts currently start with a $50 minimum deposit.
Standard currently requires $100.
Max requires $300.
Supermax requires $500.
That money becomes account capital, subject to trading results, withdrawals and applicable terms.
So if you deposit $100, it does not mean you have paid FiveTec a $100 trading fee.
How do FiveTec spreads affect trading cost?
The spread is the difference between the price at which you can buy and sell an instrument.
Imagine EUR/USD is quoted with a 1 pip spread.
On one standard lot of EUR/USD, one pip is approximately $10 when USD is the quote currency.
So a 1 pip spread represents an approximate spread cost of:
1 × $10 = $10
If the spread were 1.5 pips:
1.5 × $10 = $15
If it were 2 pips:
2 × $10 = $20
These are simplified examples.
Your actual cost depends on the live spread, instrument and trade size.
This is especially important because live spreads can change with liquidity and volatility.
Standard style pricing versus Pro ECN
This is where the account decision becomes more interesting.
Most FiveTec accounts currently list zero separate commission, which means more of the trading cost is reflected in the spread.
Pro ECN works differently.
FiveTec currently lists a $10 round turn commission per standard lot on its account comparison information.
A round turn means the combined commission for opening and closing the trade.
Simple Pro ECN example
Suppose you trade one standard lot.
Assume, purely for illustration, the live spread is 0.2 pips.
Approximate spread cost:
0.2 × $10 = $2
Round turn commission:
$10
Approximate total transaction cost:
$12
Now compare that with a zero commission account showing a 1.5 pip spread.
Approximate cost:
1.5 × $10 = $15
In that example, Pro ECN is cheaper.
But if the live spread changes, the answer changes too.
That is why I would never choose an account from the word Raw alone.
I would calculate the complete cost of the actual trade.
Do FiveTec accounts charge swap?
FiveTec currently states that positions held for up to seven days do not incur swap charges.
Swap charges begin from the eighth day onward, based on the company's standard swap rates and policies.
This matters especially for traders who keep positions open for longer periods.
A day trader who closes positions quickly may think mostly about spreads and commissions.
A swing trader may need to consider financing costs as well.
For example, imagine a position remains open for ten days.
Under the current FiveTec policy, the first seven days would fall within the stated no swap period. Swap may become relevant from day eight onward.
The exact amount depends on the instrument, direction of the position and current swap rate.
FiveTec also provides tools that can help traders review margin, pip value, swap and potential profit or loss before placing a trade. You can explore these on the FiveTec Global Capital resources page.
Why total trading cost matters more than the headline spread
Forex is one of the world's largest financial markets.
Final Bank for International Settlements data shows global FX turnover averaged approximately $9.5 trillion per day in April 2025, up 27% from 2022.
That scale helps explain why traders pay close attention to small differences in spreads.
But a tight spread is only one part of pricing.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority examined CFD pricing across spreads, commissions and overnight funding charges.
Its conclusion contains a useful principle:
“Fair value is about more than just price.”
I think the same idea works when comparing trading accounts.
Do not ask only:
What is the spread?
Ask:
What will this entire trade cost me from entry to exit?
A practical FiveTec trading cost example
Suppose you want to trade one standard lot of EUR/USD.
Example 1
Assume the live spread is 1 pip and commission is zero.
Approximate spread cost:
$10
Approximate commission:
$0
Approximate transaction cost:
$10
Example 2
Assume a Pro ECN trade has a 0.2 pip live spread.
Approximate spread cost:
$2
Round turn commission:
$10
Approximate transaction cost:
$12
This does not mean one account is always cheaper.
Live spreads move.
Position sizes vary.
Different instruments have different pip values.
Longer holding periods can introduce swap charges.
The correct comparison is always based on the exact trade you intend to place.
Does leverage reduce trading cost?
Not directly.
FiveTec currently lists leverage of up to 1:500 across its six account types.
Leverage changes the margin required to control a position.
It does not automatically reduce the spread or commission.
In fact, leverage can make costs more meaningful if it encourages a trader to open larger positions.
If you double your position size, spread and commission costs can also become larger.
That is why I treat leverage as a risk and exposure tool, not as a discount.
Are there deposit or withdrawal fees?
I did not find a universal fixed deposit or withdrawal fee published on the public FiveTec pages I reviewed.
That does not mean a payment will always be free.
Banks, card processors, crypto networks or other payment providers may apply their own charges.
Before funding or withdrawing, I would check the live client portal and payment method terms rather than assuming there is no cost.
My four checks before choosing a FiveTec account
The live spread
Do not look only at the advertised starting spread.
Check what you normally see on the pairs or instruments you actually trade.
The commission
Most current FiveTec account types list zero commission.
Pro ECN currently lists commission based pricing.
The holding period
If the trade may remain open beyond seven days, swap becomes relevant under FiveTec's current policy.
The position size
A small difference in cost becomes more important as trading volume increases.
That is why active traders often calculate costs per lot rather than looking only at percentages.

A lower spread account can still cost more once commission is included.
Final Thoughts
So, what does it cost to trade with FiveTec Global Capital?
The main costs are spreads, Pro ECN commission where applicable and swap charges for positions held beyond the current seven day swap free period.
FiveTec currently offers six account types with different spreads and minimum deposits.
Most accounts list zero commission.
Pro ECN separates part of the trading cost into a commission structure.
My approach would be simple:
Check the live spread.
Add commission where applicable.
Consider how long you may hold the position.
Calculate everything against your actual lot size.
Then compare the total cost.
That gives you a much more useful answer than choosing an account because one headline number looks smaller.
