Alpari applies a commission only on the Pro ECN account type. This commission is the same for both Pro ECN MT4 and MT5 accounts, but there's a small difference in how it's charged.
- Pro ECN MT4: The full commission for opening and closing a trade is applied when the trade is opened.
- Pro ECN MT5: Half the commission is applied when you open the trade, and the other half when you close it.
