Octa fees, after the safety questions

Cost is the last thing to weigh when the question is whether your money is safe, so this page comes after the regulation page and reads in that light.

What this means

Cost is the last thing to weigh here, and never the thing that should decide it.

Spreads from 0.6 pips suggest an all-in account, where the broker's fee is built into the price rather than charged separately. There is usually no commission on top, which makes the cost easier to predict.

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.

Octa lists a minimum deposit of $25. 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.
