Trading mechanics

# Commission

An explicit per-lot charge for executing a trade, usually quoted per side. Two sides make a round turn, so the quoted figure has to be doubled to get the cost of a completed trade.

GFN’s figure

GFN charges $3.50 per side, $7 per lot round turn on the simulated account. It is separate from the one-time evaluation fee, and it counts against your daily loss limit and drawdown buffer.

- **Per side**: $3.50 per lot
- **Round turn**: $7.00 per lot
- **Counts toward**: Daily loss limit and maximum drawdown

In detail

## Commission, explained

Commission is deducted from equity at execution, which means it counts against the daily loss limit and the drawdown buffer in exactly the way a losing trade does.

For a high-frequency strategy it is the dominant cost. Twenty round turns a day at a standard lot is a running cost that has to be cleared before any of the day's result is profit.

Worked example

Ten round turns at one standard lot costs $70. On a $10,000 Instant account that is almost a quarter of the $300 daily allowance, before a single losing trade.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Round turn](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/round-turn) - One complete trade - the entry and the exit together. Commission quoted per side has to be doubled to get the round-turn cost, which is the only figure worth comparing between firms.
- [Raw spread](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/raw-spread) - A pricing model where the spread is passed through without a markup and the cost is charged as an explicit commission instead. It separates the price you trade from the fee you pay.
- [Spread](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/spread) - The gap between the bid and the ask price. It is the cost paid on entry: a position opens slightly underwater by the width of the spread before the market has moved at all.
- [Swap](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/swap) - The financing charge or credit applied to a position held past the daily rollover. It reflects the interest rate difference between the two sides of the pair and can be positive or negative.
- [Evaluation fee](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/evaluation-fee) - The one-time price of an assessment. It is what the trader is genuinely risking - no customer capital is exposed on a simulated account - and it is the number to compare between firms per dollar of allocation.
