Spreads, commissions & slippage explained

Atmos provides market-based spreads with commissions. Trading costs may vary depending on the instrument and current market conditions.


⚡ Overview

  • Spreads → Market-based and variable

  • Commission → Charged per lot traded

  • Slippage → The difference between the expected or requested price and the actual execution price; it may be positive or negative


📊 Trading Costs

  • Spreads: Variable depending on the instrument and market conditions

  • Commission: $2.50 per lot per side ($5 per round lot)

  • Slippage: May occur when the available execution price differs from the requested or trigger price, particularly during rapid market movements, news events, gaps, or reduced liquidity


💡 Example

You trade 1 lot EURUSD.

For illustration, if the spread at that moment is 0.2 pips:

  • Spread cost ≈ $2

  • Round-turn commission = $5

  • Example total trading cost ≈ $7

The spread used in this example is illustrative only. Spreads vary and may differ depending on market conditions.
