In my experience evaluating BP Prime, I found that their approach to commissions is somewhat different from many ECN or raw spread brokers. According to their available information, BP Prime’s standard account for retail clients is described as commission-free, with trading costs incorporated into the spreads rather than charged as a flat fee per lot. In my own due diligence, I could not find a clear, publicly available statement regarding a traditional commission structure per lot for ECN or raw spread accounts, which is common among many brokers. Spreads are advertised as starting from either 0.1 or 0.6 pips, but exact conditions for ECN-style accounts weren’t fully detailed. From a risk-conscious perspective, the lack of transparent, easy-to-access information on commission structures raises concerns for me. With any broker, it’s essential to have clarity on all trading costs upfront so I can manage my risk appropriately and avoid unexpected charges. A reputable broker should be forthright about whether a commission per lot applies, especially on ECN or tight-spread accounts, since this impacts overall trading costs and suitability for high-frequency strategies. In summary, based on what I have observed, BP Prime appears to not charge a commission per lot on its standard retail account, but specific information about ECN or raw spread commissions is lacking. For my own trading, I would only proceed if I could independently verify all costs directly with customer service and in the most recent account documentation. Transparent cost structure is vital, especially when evaluating any broker.
