A monthly broker cost roundup: proposed format

[FXS London Scalper]

Cost discussions on the forum tend to be scattered. A monthly roundup thread with a fixed format would make the information easier to compare over time.

Proposed format for each contribution:

Month: September 2026
Account type: raw / standard / prop
Pairs: EURUSD, XAUUSD
Session: London open
Trades: 180
Median spread at entry: EURUSD 0.2, XAUUSD 0.18
Commission per lot round turn: $6
Average stop slippage: 0.15 pips / 6 cents
Rejects: 2
Notable events: spread spike during CPI, server lag on 12th

Broker name optional. Affiliate relationships must be disclosed.

Each month a new thread opens; contributors post in the format; a summary table at the end.

Benefits:
- Track changes in costs over time.
- Compare across account types.
- Spot problems early (e.g. many people report rejects at the same broker).
