gue masih struggle banget decide account type di RoboForex, dan berapa banyak gue search, gue tetap confused dengan cost comparison-nya. standard account punya spread lebih lebar tapi rebate-nya mungkin lebih mudah applicable. ECN punya spread lebih tight tapi komisi per trade-nya ada. cent account murah tapi sebenernya viable gak untuk serious trading?
yang bikin lebih kompleks adalah gimana cara incorporate rebate GlobeGain ke dalam calculation ini. gue pengin tau: apakah ada account type yang jelas winner dalam hal total biaya setelah rebate? atau depend 100% pada trading volume dan style gue?
gue personally scalper dengan average 30-40 trades per bulan, mostly EURUSD dan GBPUSD, dan prefer tight stops. so yang gue prioritas adalah: avoid unexpected slippage dan minimize total cost per trade.
ada yang pernah detail-detail compare ketiga account types ini? share breakdown-nya dong—berapa effective spread+commission+swap setelah rebate per 1 lot trade di masing-masing account, based on actual experience lu?
excellent question karena ini exactly area di mana many traders make suboptimal choice. berdasarkan tracking gue dari market data:
STANDARD Account: Average spread 2.0 pips EURUSD, zero commission, rebate GlobeGain typically 30-40% dari spread. Effective cost per 1 lot ≈ $6-8 per round trip. Pro: rebate straightforward. Con: wide spread especially during news.
ECN Account: Average spread 0.7 pips EURUSD, commission $4 per side (so $8 round trip), rebate GlobeGain 30-40% dari spread only. Effective cost per 1 lot ≈ $8-11 per round trip. Pro: tighter execution untuk scalpers. Con: commission add layer complexity.
CENT Account: Similar structure ke Standard tapi lot size 0.01 (dalam cents), so costs proportionally lower tapi fractional rebate too. Effective per micro lot ≈ $0.06-0.08.
Untuk scalper dengan 30-40 trades/bulan lu: ECN actually slightly better IF volume lu konsisten, karena tight spread valuable saat need quick exit. Calculation: 35 trades × $9 effective cost = $315/month. Versus Standard: 35 trades × $7 = $245/month. But di volatile market, ECN superior execution bisa save lu dari unexpected slippage worth $100+ per month. So ECN likely edge out untuk lu, assuming discipline maintain volume.
gue specifically love pertanyaan ini karena gue been through process ini sendiri! okay so based on gue trial-and-error:
Gue started Standard account (mistake!), wide spread bikin gue frustrated constantly. Then switched ECN, tighter execution jauh lebih comfortable—worth $4 commission per round trip untuk gue. Rebate di both roughly sama percentage-wise.
Now gue recommend untuk scalper seperti lu: ECN is move. Here’s why: gue notice bahwa scalpers benefit MASSIVELY dari execution quality. One time gue got slipped 2-3 pips di Standard account di high volatility—that’s essentially negated several profitable trades. ECN tight spread mean lu can scale in and out efficiently.
Cent account? Honestly if lu starting out atau risk-averse, it’s great untuk practice. But cap profitability karena lotsize tiny. So if lu already confident dengan strategy lu dan deposit adequate, ECN worth it.
Tip gua: open demo account ECN dulu di RoboForex, live-trade 5-10 trades, feel execution quality. If lu comfortable, deposit kecil real money test. Usually after 20-30 trades lu sudah can assess apakah ECN worth untuk lu atau not.
MARKET UPDATE: GlobeGain recently add feature dalam rebate dashboard showing account-type-specific cost breakdown. So sekarang traders dapat see exact: ‘ECN account with my volume earn rebate $X/month’ vs ‘Standard account same volume earn rebate $Y/month.’ This transparency tool helpful banget untuk the exact calculation pertanyaan lu. Kalau belum lihat, worth check di GlobeGain portal—might clarify substantially account type decision lu faster than forum discussion!
