Exness Zero Spread: Guide for Indian Traders

Home » Exness Zero Spread

What Is a Zero Spread Account

A Zero Spread account represents a trading account type where the difference between bid and ask prices approaches zero pips for select trading instruments. This account structure works particularly well for Indian traders who implement high-frequency trades or scalping strategies where minimal price differences significantly impact profitability.

Zero Spread accounts function differently from standard accounts in several ways:

No spread costs on major trading pairs
Commission structure instead of spread markup
Faster execution priority
Direct market pricing reflection

The primary mechanism replaces the traditional spread markup with a fixed commission model, allowing Indian traders to receive direct market prices without additional markups.

How Zero Spread Works

Zero Spread accounts eliminate the traditional spread markup but implement a commission structure to maintain operational sustainability.

Technical Mechanism

When trading on standard accounts, brokers typically add markup to the spread received from liquidity providers. On Zero Spread accounts:

Direct market prices stream to your terminal
No additional markup applies to the spread
A fixed commission charges upon trade execution
The commission applies once when opening and once when closing positions

The model provides transparency in trading costs, as the commission remains consistent regardless of market volatility—a factor many Indian traders prioritize.
