What this means
Cost is the last thing to weigh here, and never the thing that should decide it.
A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.
Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.
InstaForex lists a minimum deposit of $1. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.
