Something that helped me break this down was finding a guide that compares broker cost structures transparently. I checked out Vetted FX Brokers which explained how spreads, commissions, rollover fees, and hidden charges work together. It made me realize that “zero commission” doesn’t always mean cheap if spreads are inflated. I began writing down all potential costs for each broker I considered and calculating an estimated monthly charge based on my expected trading volume. That exercise alone made the differences much clearer and helped me choose a broker that actually fits my strategy without surprise fees.
