The Costs of Trading
There is no commission when you trade the Forex markets with TradeStation. However,
there are transactional costs incurred each time you make a trade.
You will notice that there are two exchange rates for each currency pair: the Bid, which is
the rate at which you can Sell; and the Ask, which is the rate at which you can Buy. The
difference is known as the spread, and determines the transactional cost of the trade. Each
currency pair has its own fixed Bid-Ask spread.
