From my direct experience researching and trading with DEGIRO, I’ve found their commission structure to be quite different from what many forex traders might expect, especially those coming from platforms offering ECN or raw spread accounts. DEGIRO has positioned itself more as a multi-asset, equity-focused broker. For US stocks, they advertise zero commission, but every trade does incur an external handling cost of €0.50 per transaction. This approach applies broadly across their product range, and there is no mention of traditional forex “lot-based” commission structures—something typical for ECN or raw spread accounts on platforms like MT4 or MT5. This is significant for me because clarity in cost structure influences risk and strategy. With DEGIRO, I do not pay a standard commission per lot; instead, any applicable charges tend to be flat per trade, with additional costs such as external spreads, currency conversion fees (around 0.25%), and other potential connectivity costs. There is also no inactivity, custody, or withdrawal fee, which simplifies things. However, the lack of valid regulatory information flagged on platforms like WikiFX, as well as the absence of ECN/MT4/MT5 infrastructure, signals caution for anyone strictly seeking forex or raw price-feeding environments. In summary, based on what I’ve experienced and observed, DEGIRO does not offer commission-per-lot ECN or raw spread accounts. Their fee model and trading ecosystem are aimed more at broad investment rather than specialized, granular forex trading. For those with particular requirements for execution speed or raw spreads, it’s prudent to look elsewhere, prioritizing regulation and account structure that fits your needs.
