What this means

Cost is scored on what a trade actually costs all in, not on the headline spread.

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.
