VT Markets Fees (2026): Spreads, Commissions, Swaps and Non-Trading Costs

Short answer: VT Markets’ main costs are the spread (from 1.2–1.3 pips on Standard STP, from 0.0 on RAW ECN), a $6 per lot round-turn commission on RAW ECN forex, metals and oil, $2 per lot on commodities, percentage commissions on non-US share CFDs, and overnight swaps, which the Client Agreement lets it mark up. Non-trading costs are low: no deposit fee, the first bank wire withdrawal each month free then $20 per wire, Skrill 1% and Neteller 2%. We found no inactivity fee.

Spreads and commissions by account

Pair	Standard STP spread	RAW ECN spread	RAW ECN commission
EURUSD	from 1.3 pips	from 0.0 pips	$6 per lot round turn
GBPUSD	from 1.8 pips	from 0.6 pips	$6 per lot round turn
AUDUSD	from 1.6 pips	from 0.4 pips	$6 per lot round turn
USDJPY	from 1.5 pips	from 0.5 pips	$6 per lot round turn

These are minimums. The help centre says spreads widen during volatility, news and thin trading hours. On a USD-quoted pair one pip is $10 per standard lot, so the RAW ECN commission is worth 0.6 pips. Which account works out cheaper for your pairs is covered in our VT Markets account types guide.

Illustrative month (not a quote): a trader closes 10 standard lots of EURUSD.

	Standard STP	RAW ECN
Spread at the “from” level	10 × 1.3 × $10 = $130	10 × 0.0 = $0
Commission	$0	10 × $6 = $60
Best-case total	$130	$60

Real spreads are often wider than the minimum on both accounts, so treat this as the floor. Use our pip calculator with the live spread you see in MT4/MT5.

Indices, commodities and share CFDs

Two help centre articles give different index pricing. The general commissions article says indices carry no commission on Standard STP and RAW ECN ($1 per lot round turn on VIP STP). A second article lists $1 per lot on HK and “other” indices and $0.02 on the Japan index (source). Check the commission column in your platform’s trade history after a small trade.

Share CFDs:

Market	Help centre	Key Facts Summary
US shares	No commission	6 USD per transaction
UK shares	0.1% of contract value per side	Not listed
EU shares	0.1% of contract value per side	Not listed
Hong Kong shares	0.25% per side, minimum HKD 50	0.25% or HKD 50, whichever is greater
Australian shares	Not listed	0.08%, minimum AUD 8 per transaction

The Key Facts Summary also says VT Markets may charge a market data subscription fee if you trade share CFDs, without stating the amount, and the help centre lists tax on share products as a possible cost (source, source).

Illustrative share CFD costs (round trip, open and close):

• UK share, £5,000 position: 0.1% × £5,000 = £5 per side, so £10.
• Hong Kong share, HKD 10,000 position: 0.25% would be HKD 25, below the HKD 50 minimum, so HKD 50 per side, HKD 100.
• US share: $0 under the help centre, or $12 if the Key Facts Summary’s $6 applies to both the opening and closing trade. We could not confirm which applies.

Swaps and the mark-ups behind them

Swaps are the interest you pay or earn for holding a position past the daily cut-off. The help centre gives three formulas, depending on how the symbol’s swap is quoted: in points, in currency, or as an annual percentage ÷ 360 of the position value (source). Rates are shown in each symbol’s Specification in MT4/MT5.

Triple swap days (source):

• Forex, gold and silver: Wednesday night
• Indices, commodities and shares: Friday night

What the Client Agreement adds (source):

• Forex (clause 5.1): a transaction fee of up to 10% of the swap charge or credit on positions held overnight. No swap or fee applies if you open and close on the same trading day.
• Spot CFDs such as indices (clause 5.2): the overnight rate is the liquidity provider’s rate plus 3.5% a year. Illustration: on a $10,000 index position, the 3.5% part alone is about $10,000 × 3.5% ÷ 360 ≈ $0.97 per night.
• Futures CFDs such as oil (clause 5.3): at contract rollover, an adjustment for the price difference less an administration fee of 2.5 basis points, which is $2.50 on a $10,000 position.

We could not confirm whether the swap rates displayed in MT4/MT5 already include these fees. Assume they do not reduce your cost.

Illustrative swap: if a symbol showed a swap of −$7 per lot per night (an assumed figure), holding 1 lot over Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights would cost $7 + $7 + $21 (Wednesday counts triple) = $35, before any mark-up.

Swap-free accounts pay an administration fee instead, calculated at 0:00 platform time and applied between 1:00 and 2:59 (source). The Key Facts Summary says the fee combines liquidity providers’ fees with an internal processing fee of about 10%. Zero-fee swap-free accounts are limited to designated countries (source).

Non-trading fees

Item	Fee
Deposits	None from VT Markets; your bank or intermediary may charge (source)
Bank wire withdrawal	First each month free, then a fixed fee equivalent to $20 per request
Skrill / Neteller withdrawal	1% / 2% processing fee
Transfers between your accounts	Free in the same currency; not allowed across currencies (source)
Currency conversion	No fee, per Client Agreement clause 3.3(e); VT-Wallet conversions apply a spread to the rate (source)
Inactivity	None found
ClubBleu loyalty programme	No membership fee (source)
Copy trading	Signal providers may charge a performance fee

One more contradiction: the Key Facts Summary says banks may charge for deposits and withdrawals but “we, as a firm, do not charge for these actions”, while the help centre lists the $20 repeat-wire fee. Plan for the $20. Full withdrawal times and rules are in our VT Markets withdrawal guide.

No inactivity fee, but archiving. Accounts are archived automatically when idle: MT4 after 90 days with $5 or less, MT5 after 90 days with $1 or less, and Cent after just 5 days with 100 USC or less (source).

Fees can change

The Key Facts Summary (section 8.4) says VT Markets may add fees or raise fees and spreads after giving notice, and the Client Agreement lets it deduct charges from your account. It also says VT Markets may pay an introducer who referred you; VestNorth may be paid this way. These costs come from the offshore entity VT Markets Limited, Mauritius, so there is no government ombudsman or compensation scheme like the UK’s FOS or FSCS if you dispute a charge. Read our VT Markets review for the full risk picture.

India: VT Markets’ own website footer names India as a restricted jurisdiction, and it is named on the RBI Alert List of unauthorised forex platforms (entry 41, updated 19 November 2025). Under FEMA, Indian residents may trade forex only in permitted currency pairs through RBI-authorised persons, recognised Indian exchanges or RBI-authorised platforms. Weigh that legal risk before opening an account.

Bottom line

VT Markets’ headline fees are competitive: free deposits, one free wire a month, and $6 per lot round turn on RAW ECN. The costs that need checking are the ones in the small print: swap mark-ups of up to 10%, a 3.5% a year fee on spot CFD financing, and conflicting share CFD and index commissions. Make one small trade, read the commission and swap lines in your history, and only then scale up with money you can afford to lose.
