Changes effective from April 5, 2021
Starting from April 5, 2021, a new commission charging method was introduced for Market Execution accounts in MetaTrader 4.
Previously, the commission was charged at the time of opening a trade. Now, it is charged when the trade is closed.
Before the change
When opening a position, the commission was immediately deducted.
It appeared in the "Trade" tab, under the "Commission" column.
Example: Opening a 1.00 lot trade on EUR/USD would result in an instant $7 USD commission ($0.07 per 0.01 lot).
The commission showed as a negative value upon opening the position.
No additional charges were applied when closing the trade.
After the change
Now, you don’t pay commission when opening the trade.
The commission is charged only after the trade is closed.
It appears in the “Account History” tab, under the “Commission” column.
📌 Important: The amount of the commission remains the same, only the timing has changed.
Practical example
✅ Before
You open a 1.00 lot trade on EUR/USD.
$7 USD is immediately deducted.
Your balance reflects the commission at once.
✅ Now
You open the same trade.
No commission is deducted at the opening.
When you close the trade, $7 USD is charged from your available balance.
Advantages of the new method
✅ Lower initial impact on your balance when opening multiple trades
✅ Better capital management, especially when trading large volumes
✅ All costs are still visible — just when the trade closes
