Cost comparisons are based on third-party data and are for informational purposes only. Trading involves significant risk of loss. Individual trading costs will vary based on account type, instrument, and market conditions.
The spread is the primary cost of entry for any trader, but it is rarely static. Most brokers quote "typical" spreads that fluctuate wildly during high volatility or low liquidity periods (like the New York/London crossover or market open).
Traders often make the mistake of looking at commission in isolation. A low commission is meaningless if it’s paired with wide spreads or poor execution (slippage).
The Total Cost Per Lot formula is: (Spread in Pips x Pip Value) + Round Turn Commission = Total Cost
When we calculate the comparison between Afterprime and other brokers, we don't just look at a snapshot. We aggregate data across different market sessions to provide a "Net Cost" profile.
OctaFX, heavily rebranded and operating widely as Octa, is a prominent international forex and CFD broker established in 2011. Serving millions of retail accounts globally, it specializes in low-cost, commission-free trading across currencies, indices, metals, energies, and cryptocurrencies. The broker is widely recognized for its heavy integration of copy-trading features and regular promotional structures.
Octa utilizes a multi-jurisdictional corporate structure that splits its operations between onshore and offshore entities. For European clients, it operates a traditional, restricted footprint via a CySEC-regulated entity (Octa Markets Cyprus Ltd). For its broader international and emerging market clientele, operations are funneled through offshore hubs registered in St. Lucia, Comoros, or St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Across its entities, Octa provides negative balance protection and segregated client fund accounts.
The broker provides a well-rounded suite of trading software by backing the traditional industry standards alongside proprietary tech. It offers full support for both MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for desktop, mobile, and web setups. Additionally, the broker heavily promotes its proprietary “OctaTrader” platform and standalone mobile trading app, which natively integrates automated AI chart pattern scanning, market feeds, and its flagship copy-trading environment.
Octa centers its account tiers around the chosen platform interface, maintaining a highly accessible $25 to $100 minimum deposit across the board. Rather than implementing distinct raw ECN commission accounts, Octa utilizes a markup-only, zero-commission pricing model where floating spreads start from 0.6 pips on major pairs. Notably, all international accounts are structurally setup as swap-free (Islamic-friendly) by default, and leverage options scale significantly higher than onshore limits, reaching up to 1:1000 for currency pairs.
Compared with heavily restricted, institutional-facing onshore brokers, Octa is positioned as a highly flexible, retail-centric option tailored toward beginners and mobile-first day traders. It distinguishes itself from standard offshore competitors by heavily indexing on its integrated copy-trading ecosystem, high-leverage boundaries, custom platform software, and zero-fee mechanics on both order executions and capital transactions.

Afterprime is built for system-based traders who track performance and care about total cost. If you trade sporadically or prefer market execution without analysis, we’re probably not the best fit.
No. Afterprime’s commission is zero – structural, not promotional. OctaFX’s fees are included in the spread markup, so a bit opaque.
Afterprime’s zero-commission model means the cost you see is the cost you get. The Forexbenchmark.com figure of $3.74/lot on EURUSD already reflects the full cost, no additional commission layer.
