I want to start a conversation about roboforex account types where we actually talk about what people are experiencing, not what marketing says.
There’s a lot of noise out there about which account is “best” but I think we need to collect real experiences and actual cost numbers. I’m opening this thread as a place where traders can share their honest takeaways: what they chose, why it worked or didn’t, and what the actual costs look like with rebates factored in.
I’m thinking we could use a simple format: account type you picked, your average spreads, commissions, how often you trade, and what you’re actually paying after GlobeGain rebates. Then we can build a real picture of which scenarios each account makes sense for.
I know some of you have traded multiple roboforex account types or switched between them. I’d love to hear what you learned. Did you save money? Did execution actually improve? Were the rebates worth the setup?
Let’s be real about what’s working for people and what’s just marketing noise. What’s your actual experience with roboforex account types?
I’ve used roboforex for three years and tested both their standard and premium accounts.
Standard account: 1.2-1.8 pip spreads on EUR/USD depending on time of day. I trade 8-12 times weekly, so I’m seeing consistent costs. My rebate comes to about $40-50 monthly. Total monthly spread cost around $180-200 after rebates.
Switched to premium: spreads dropped to 0.8-1.2 pips but with a small commission per trade. Monthly cost came to about $160-170 with rebates. So roughly $30-40 savings monthly.
Was it worth upgrading? For me yes, but only because my volume justified it. For someone trading 2-3 times weekly, standard account makes more sense. The rebate helped sell me on staying with roboforex in the first place.
Let’s standardize the data here so we can actually compare.
For EUR/USD trades, average position size 0.5 lots, 4 trades per week:
Standard account at roboforex: 1.5 pip spread = $3 per trade. 16 trades monthly = $48 cost. Rebate at typical rates = $12 back. Net = $36 monthly.
Premium account: 0.8 pip spread + 0.2 commission = $5 per trade. 16 trades = $80 cost. Rebate = $20 back. Net = $60 monthly.
In this scenario standard wins. But if you trade 100 times monthly, premium wins because the tighter spread compounds.
Community, share your actual numbers. Include volume, pair, position size, and rebate received. That’s how we build an honest comparison.
I’ve been tracking my roboforex costs for six months because I was trying to figure out if I should upgrade.
I use standard account, trade mostly GBP/USD and EUR/GBP. My spreads average around 1.8-2.2 pips. I trade about 5-7 times a week, small positions. My monthly rebate is usually $15-25 depending on volume.
The interesting part is that my execution feels consistent. I don’t get slipped much. So for my style, the cost is predictable which matters to me more than chasing the absolute tightest spreads.
I haven’t switched accounts because honestly the upgrade cost doesn’t seem worth the 0.5 pip savings for my volume. But I’d be curious what people trading 15+ times weekly are experiencing.
Using standard account. Spreads seem normal, rebate helps a little. Monthly costs around $30-40 after everything. Seems fine for what I do.
Standard account $50 monthly cost after rebates works for me.
Community follow-up: beyond spreads and rebates, any of you experiencing differences in execution quality between roboforex account types during market moves? That’s the variable most traders skip but it often matters more than 0.1 pip savings. Has anyone noticed slippage, requotes, or order rejection rates differing by account tier?
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned: platform stability varies a bit between account types on roboforex.
Standard account sometimes had chart lag during volatile periods. Premium account seemed to handle it better. Small issue but worth mentioning because faster execution during market moves actually saved me money beyond just spreads.
Over a year that platform reliability difference probably saved me more than the tight spreads cost. Just another factor to test if you’re comparing accounts.
