Trading mechanics

# 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.

GFN’s figure

GFN's round-turn cost is $7 per lot - $3.50 per side, $7 per lot round turn. Every trade must also stay open for at least 2 minutes, on every programme.

In detail

## Round turn, explained

Quoting per side makes a cost look half the size it is, which is why the round-turn figure is the one to hold onto. A $3.50 per side charge is a $7 trade.

Multiply the round turn by expected trade frequency before choosing a strategy for an evaluation. A scalping approach can pay more in commission over a month than the evaluation fee cost.

## 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.

- [Commission](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/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.
- [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.
- [Scalping](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/scalping) - Taking many short-duration trades for small individual gains. It depends on tight costs and reliable execution, because the spread and commission are a large share of every result.
- [Tick scalping](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/tick-scalping) - Taking positions for a handful of ticks at a time, often held for seconds. Where the profit comes from a pricing lag rather than a market view, firms treat it as exploiting the environment.
