# Trading Fees

Fees include trading commissions, funding (periodic), and conversion costs where applicable. Review the Fees page before opening positions.

Supertrade keeps its fee model transparent. Understanding the cost structure helps you plan trades effectively and avoid unnecessary charges.

### Trading Fees

* **Forex, Metals, Indices, Oil:** Standard spreads apply and a 2 USD trading fee per lot is charged. There are no hidden commissions.
* **Crypto:** Spreads are higher compared to Forex because of market volatility and a 2 USD trading fee per lot applies.
* **Execution:** Orders are processed straight through (A-Book), so there are no dealing desk markups or internal order manipulation.

### Challenge & Account Fees

* **2-Phase Challenge:** One-time access fee starting from $25. This fee may be refundable once you pass and start trading on a funded account.
* **Instant Funding:** One-time access fee starting from $149. No refunds, since you begin trading live immediately.
* **Resets:** If you fail a challenge and wish to retry, reset fees are non-refundable.

### Funding (Swap / Overnight Costs)

* Holding leveraged positions overnight may trigger **swap charges**.
* The exact fee depends on the instrument, trade direction, and market conditions.
* Swap-free options are not currently available.

### Currency Conversion

* If your account currency differs from the instrument you trade, conversion may apply.
* All fees are applied transparently at the execution stage.

### Key Notes

* Always review your account’s **pricing card** for exact spreads and leverage.
* Refund policy: access fees are refundable only under certain conditions (e.g., completing challenge successfully and moving to a funded account).
* Payouts are processed without additional fees on Supertrade’s side, though third-party providers (wallets, banks, crypto networks) may charge their own costs.
