Trading Costs

XTB offers competitive but not class-leading Forex pricing. The reviewed EUR/USD spread was around 0.92 pip, placing the broker near the industry average rather than among the most aggressive raw-spread providers.

Minimum Deposit: $0

Commission Model: Spread-based pricing for most retail users; no traditional commission-based ECN account for most clients

Overnight Fee: Swap/financing charges apply to leveraged CFD positions held past the daily rollover time (around midnight), varying by instrument and direction; swap-free accounts are available for specific periods and products

Inactivity Fee: €10 per month if no position has been opened or closed in the last 365 days and no deposit has been made in the last 90 days
