How to calculate commission for different instruments on Advantage MT4 account?
For MT4 accounts, commission is applied once for both opening and closing trades. Therefore, you only need to know the opening price to calculate the commission. Let's go ahead and explore further examples.

For currency pairs, commission is fixed at $ 3.5 per lot traded. For example, if you open 2.5 lot of EURUSD for 1.0772: Commission = 2.5 (lot) * 3.5 (commission) * 2 (round turn) = $17.5
In another example, if you open 0.6 lots of EURUSD for 1.0772, the commission will be calculated as follows: Commission = 0.6 (lot) * 3.5 (commission) * 2 (round turn) = $ 4.2
