Raw Spreads vs All-In Pricing: Best Account for Prop Traders

In prop trading, your account structure isn’t just a detail — it’s part of your edge.

From strategies to risk management, every decision impacts your performance. One often-overlooked factor? Raw spreads vs all-in pricing — your choice of account structure.

At FXIFY™, we make this simple by offering two account types: Raw Spreads and All-In Price Feeds.

Let’s explore which account aligns with your trading style and how each can help you maximise your gains as a funded trader.

Raw Spreads: Built for Precision

Raw Spreads at FXIFY offer near-direct market access with ultra-tight pricing, with spreads as low as 0.0 pips and only $6 per lot round-turn, with virtually no markup.

Example of Raw Spreads in Action

Trading EURUSD during the London–NY session? You’ll often see 0.0 pip spreads — ideal for scalping where every tick counts.

Raw Spreads are ideal for scalpers and intraday traders who rely on tight spreads to execute a high volume of trades quickly. This is because when scalping on lower timeframes, your ability to get precise entries and exits becomes even more critical.

Shaving a pip off your entry can flip a 1.5RR (reward-to-risk) setup into a clean 2RR. That’s a real advantage for short-term traders.

Raw Spreads accounts are subject to commissions, going at $6 per lot round-turn (i.e., $3 to open and $3 to close) at FXIFY™. This setup is especially beneficial if you trade larger volumes or prefer the transparency of seeing market pricing unfiltered.

Why Choose Raw Spreads?

• Transparency: Traders see the raw, unadjusted spreads that mirror the live market environment.
• Cost-effectiveness: Ideal for frequent or high-volume trading, where lower spreads offset commission costs over time.
• Strategy alignment: Perfect for fast-paced strategies like scalping, where price precision is key.

This account type is tailored to precision-focused traders looking to maximise their edge.

All-In Pricing: Cost Clarity, No Surprises

FXIFY’s All-In Price Feeds keep it simple — tight spreads + commission-free for Forex, Metals, and Indices.

This account type is tailored for traders who prefer cost clarity and simplicity, with fees built directly into the price you see, eliminating the need to calculate additional charges.

Example of All-In Price Feeds in Action

Consider you’re trading the XAUUSD (Gold) pair.

Under the All-In Price Feed, the spread might be slightly wider than Raw Spreads, but all trading costs are already included — no added fees when opening or closing trades.

For traders who place fewer, larger trades, this structure makes it easy to calculate costs up front and plan around them intuitively.

Why Choose All-In Price Feeds?

• Simplicity: All costs are built into the spread — no mental math is required.
• Predictability: Trading expenses remain consistent regardless of trade size or frequency.
• Convenience: Beneficial for swing and position traders who don’t rely on ultra-tight spreads for an edge.

All-In Price Feeds are ideal for swing and position traders who value straightforward pricing — particularly when placing fewer trades, where having a flat, visible cost makes expenses easier to track.

How Execution Style Affects Account Choice

How you execute trades should drive your account choice, not the other way around. If your strategy relies on market orders — such as scalping, momentum trading, or reacting to real-time setups — Raw Spreads offer a major advantage.

Since the spread is often near 0.0 pips during peak liquidity, traders can reduce slippage and execute trades with greater accuracy. This precision is especially valuable on lower timeframes, where a few tenths of a pip can change your entire risk-to-reward profile.

On the other hand, limit-order traders and those using swing or position strategies may benefit more from All-In Pricing. These traders typically plan entries in advance and aren’t as affected by microchanges in the spread. What matters more is cost consistency — knowing the price you see is what you pay, with no extra commissions. For these users, All-In accounts simplify execution by bundling all trading costs into a predictable, upfront spread.

Choosing Your Edge Starts Here

Whether you trade for precision or value simplicity, your account structure should support your edge — not work against it. Pick the setup that fits your strategy. Trade smarter, not harder.
