  A standard account on forex.com is a type of trading account that does not charge a commission for each trade. Instead, the broker makes money through the spread, which is the difference between the buying and selling price of a currency pair. This means that the cost of trading is built into the spread, and there are no additional fees for each trade. The advantage of a standard account is that it is generally more suitable for beginners or traders who make smaller trades, as there are no additional costs involved. However, the spread may be slightly higher compared to a commission account.

  On the other hand, a commission account on forex.com charges a fixed commission for each trade, in addition to the spread. The advantage of a commission account is that the spread is typically lower compared to a standard account, which can result in lower trading costs for frequent traders or those who trade larger volumes. Additionally, commission accounts often offer more advanced trading platforms and tools, as well as access to additional trading features. However, it's important to consider the commission fees when calculating potential profits, as they can add up, especially for high-frequency traders.

  When choosing between a standard account and a commission account, it's important to consider your trading style, frequency, and trading volume. If you are a beginner or make smaller trades, a standard account may be more suitable due to its simplicity and lower initial costs. However, if you are an experienced trader or trade larger volumes, a commission account may offer better trading conditions and potentially lower overall costs. Ultimately, the choice between the two types of accounts depends on your individual trading needs and preferences.
