Exness Gold Spread: XAUUSD By Account Type And Cost Per Lot After Rebate

The Exness gold spread is not a single fixed number. The same XAUUSD pair costs a different amount to enter on each account type, and many traders pick an account from a "spreads from 0 pips" banner, only to find that commission changes the real cost.

To avoid guessing, this article measures the Exness XAUUSD spread directly in the MT5 Market Watch for four account types on 9 November 2026 (07:49 to 07:57 UTC, which is Exness MT5 server time). It then converts each reading into USD per lot and subtracts the rebate currently shown.

In this article, Backcom.io walks through:

• The measured spread on Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero, with screenshots.
• How to convert a spread into a per-lot cost, and when commission must be added.
• Overnight swap on gold and the other costs that sit outside the spread.
• A per-lot cost table after rebate, so the four account types can be compared.

What Is The Exness Gold Spread And How To Convert It To Cash Per Lot

The Exness gold spread is the gap between the Ask and Bid price of XAUUSD when you open a trade, and it is the first cost every trade pays. It is charged once for a full round trip, not separately for each direction.

In MT5, the Spr. column in the Market Watch shows the spread in points. For XAUUSD quoted to three decimals, 100 points equals a 0.10 USD price gap. Assuming 1 lot of gold is 100 ounces, you can convert quickly with this formula:

Spread cost per lot (USD) = (Ask − Bid) × 100

The 100-ounce figure is the usual convention, but you should still confirm the current contract size in the Exness Contract Specifications. See the official reference: MetaTrader 5 Market Watch guide.

A 0.24 USD spread therefore equals 24 USD per lot for one open and close. This matches the 24 USD per lot example in our Exness trading fees guide.

Three things make one reading differ from another:

1. Timing: gold spreads widen around major news and in thin liquidity at the start of a session.
2. Account type: each type prices differently, from a wide spread with no commission to a tight spread plus commission.
3. Environment: demo and live accounts can show slightly different spreads.

So every figure here is a single reading, not a daily average. You should measure again in the hours you actually trade.

Exness XAUUSD Spread On The Standard Account: 0.24 USD Per Ounce

The Standard account charges no commission, so the entire cost sits in the spread. It is also the widest of the four types in this reading.

At about 07:50 UTC on 9 November 2026, XAUUSDm on a live Standard account showed Bid 4088.484, Ask 4088.724 and a Spr. value of 240 points. A 0.24 USD gap converts to roughly 24 USD per lot.

Symbol names can differ between account types, so check the exact symbol on your own account before comparing numbers.

The Standard account suits two situations:

• You open few trades and hold them for a long time, so the spread is a small share of the profit target.
• You want costs that are easy to work out because there is no separate commission.

A trader scalping gold on M1 to M5 charts will find 24 USD per lot a heavy burden. With a take-profit of 3 to 5 USD per ounce, the spread eats a visible part of the move at entry.

Exness Pro Gold Spread: Tighter Than Standard, Still No Commission

The Pro account also has no separate commission, but its gold spread is tighter than Standard. It is a middle option for traders who want lower cost without adding a fixed fee.

On a Pro demo account at 07:49 UTC the same day, XAUUSD showed Ask 4090.154 and a Spr. value of 168 points, or 0.168 USD. That converts to about 16.8 USD per lot, roughly 7.2 USD below Standard.

The Bid price is masked in the screenshot, so the Spr. column is the primary source, and this is a demo account, so live spreads may differ slightly.

One point needs saying plainly: the rebate on Pro is lower than on Standard. That is why cost should be compared after rebate, not on the raw spread alone.

Exness Raw Spread Gold: Very Low Spread Plus Commission Per Lot

The Raw Spread account splits the cost into two parts: a very tight raw spread and a fixed commission per lot. The real cost only becomes clear when both are added.

On a Raw Spread demo account at 07:53 UTC, XAUUSD showed Bid 4087.315, Ask 4087.395 and a Spr. value of 80 points. A 0.08 USD gap equals 8 USD per lot before commission.

Per our Exness trading fees guide (not yet cross-checked with the official site), Raw Spread commission is up to 3.5 USD per lot per side, a general figure rather than a gold-specific one. With two sides, a full round trip can cost up to 7 USD per lot if gold commission reaches the cap.

In that case the pre-rebate cost is about 8 + 7 = 15 USD per lot, lower than Standard's 24 USD. The actual gold commission on Raw Spread should be checked in Contract Specifications, because a figure specific to XAUUSD has not been verified.

Raw Spread usually suits traders who place many orders at steady volume and already read cost reports. With few trades, the tight spread struggles to offset the added commission.

Exness Zero Spread Gold: The Lowest Spread, Conditions To Check

The Zero account is marketed with a spread of zero for most of the trading day. That does not mean XAUUSD always has a zero spread, and this is a common misunderstanding among newer traders.

In our reading on 9 November 2026 at 07:57 UTC, XAUUSD on a Zero demo account showed Bid 4088.321, Ask 4088.361 and a Spr. value of 40 points. A 0.04 USD gap is about 4 USD per lot, the lowest of the four types but still not zero.

On the same screen, currency pairs such as EURUSD and USDJPY showed a spread of 0 points, while gold did not. The lesson is not to carry the "zero" label over to every product.

Zero commission varies by product. The figure specific to XAUUSD on Zero could not be verified from an official source, so the table below leaves it open rather than guessing.

Before choosing Zero for gold, you should do three things:

1. Open Contract Specifications for XAUUSD on the Zero account and note the commission per lot.
2. Measure the spread in at least three windows: the Asian session, the European session and a US news release.
3. Add the two-way commission to the spread before comparing it with another account type.

Gold Cost Per Lot On Exness After Rebate

To compare fairly, all four types must be put into one unit: USD per lot, for one open and close. The formula behind the table is:

Cost after rebate = Spread per lot + Two-way commission − Rebate per lot

Rebates come from the live rebate table on the Exness Rebates page, updated at 23:10 UTC on 9 November 2026 and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Reference readings as at 9 November 2026 and the rebate table at 23:10 UTC the same day. Spreads and rebates can change at any time, so check again before trading.

Four things stand out in the table:

• Standard has the widest spread in this reading but the highest rebate, so its gap to Pro after rebate shrinks to about 1.8 USD per lot.
• Raw Spread had the lowest maximum cost of the three types with complete figures in this reading, but it depends entirely on the real gold commission.
• Zero cannot be ranked without its gold commission, and this article does not rank accounts when figures are not on the same footing.
• Three of the four readings come from demo accounts, so small differences from live accounts are possible.

Rebates in the table are estimates based on displayed data, not a guarantee. Exness (SC) Ltd is authorised by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) under licence SD025, so you can check the entity's regulatory details at the official source. The Exness rebate page itself notes that its figures come from the Exness API and may differ from official reports.

Exness Gold Swap And Other Costs Outside The Spread

The Exness gold swap is the fee credited or charged when an XAUUSD position is held past the broker's daily rollover. It is separate from spread and commission, so a position held for several days can cost more than expected.

Swap changes by day, by Buy or Sell direction and by account type. This article gives no fixed swap number because no official source for each account type was available at the time of writing. The safe approach is to open Contract Specifications for XAUUSD and read the current Swap Long and Swap Short.

Beyond spread and swap, gold traders should watch:

• Commission: only on Raw Spread and Zero, charged per lot and per side.
• Slippage: when major news hits, the fill price can differ from the price you clicked, and this is not in the table.
• Spread widening: XAUUSD often widens around US data releases and session changes.
• Deposit and withdrawal fees: these depend on the payment method, not the account type.

A cost table therefore reflects normal conditions only, so if you trade around news you should measure in those exact conditions. Our guide to criteria for a trusted gold trading broker adds more on licensing, swap and rebates.

Choosing An Exness Account Type For Gold Trading

No account type is right for everyone. A sensible choice rests on three factors: your trades per month, how long you hold positions and how comfortable you are measuring your own costs.

A simple way to orient yourself:

1. Few trades, holding for days: Standard or Pro, because fixed costs are lower and easier to track.
2. Moderate trading within the day: Pro, or Raw Spread once you have checked the gold commission.
3. Scalping with steady volume: Raw Spread or Zero, but only after adding the full two-way commission.
4. Just starting out: Standard, then switch types once you have your own trading data.

A common mistake is choosing an account only because its spread column is smallest. Multiply the cost after rebate in the table by your monthly lots, for example 40 lots, to see the real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Exness Gold Spread

Conclusion: Exness Gold Spread Only Makes Sense In USD Per Lot

The Exness gold spread only becomes meaningful when it is converted to USD per lot and set beside commission, swap and rebate. You should look at three things together: the measured spread, the two-way commission and the rebate that comes back.

The next steps are clear: measure the spread in your own trading hours, open Contract Specifications to read the gold commission and swap, then multiply the cost after rebate by your monthly volume before switching account types.
