What is the commission calculation for trades on MT5 Standard?
Formula (per side)
Commission = (Traded volume in USD) × (Commission rate) ÷ 100,000
To calculate traded volume in USD:
Traded volume in USD = (Volume in lots) × (Contract size) × (Execution price) × (Conversion rate to USD)
Example calculation with Volatility 75 Index
Let’s say:
- You traded 1 lot of Volatility 75 Index
- Each contract (lot) is worth 1 unit
- The current price of the index is 10,000
- Conversion rate = 1 (since it’s in USD)
- The commission rate (one side) is $10 per 100,000 USD traded
How to calculate:
1. Find the traded volume in USD:
1 (lot) × 1 (contract size) × 10,000 (price) × 1 (USD rate) = 10,000 USD
So, the total traded volume = 10,000 USD
2. Apply the commission formula:
Commission = (10,000×10) ÷ 100,000 = 1 USD
So, $1 commission per side
3. If you open and close the trade (round trade):
1×2 = 2
$2 total commission
