What are the key execution-related trading conditions at SFX Funded, including spreads, commissions, and slippage?

💡 Answer

SFX Funded advertises raw spreads from 0.0 pips across all asset classes, sourced from what it describes as its own in-house liquidity provider, with the per-lot commission carrying the cost instead of a spread markup.

Because pricing is provided in-house rather than by a named external broker, spreads cannot be benchmarked against a public retail feed. Live spreads will vary with instrument, session liquidity and volatility — verify them inside the platform during the sessions you actually trade before committing to a strategy that depends on tight pricing, particularly on indices and crypto.

SFX Funded executes in simulated live-market conditions where slippage can be positive or negative, and is most likely around high-impact news, rollover and market gaps. Traders carry the execution risk and are expected to leave buffer against the daily and trailing loss limits.

Strategies built on exploiting execution or pricing behaviour are explicitly prohibited and treated as breaches rather than as bad luck — this includes latency arbitrage, market rollover scalping EAs that target the rollover price feed, news-scalping EAs, and any strategy that profits from a platform glitch, a price-display error or a feed delay. SFX asks that such errors be reported rather than traded.

Order layering — splitting one trade idea into many small orders to work around slippage or risk controls — is also treated as abusive; SFX indicates that more than four layered orders on the same idea generally crosses the line.

Commissions

SFX Funded charges a per-lot commission on top of raw spreads:

• Forex & Commodities: $4 per lot
• Indices: $0.40 per lot
• Crypto: no commission

$4/lot round-turn on FX is mid-market for a raw-spread prop account — cheaper than firms charging $6–$7, more expensive than the commission-free "standard" account types some competitors offer alongside a wider spread. The $0.40/lot index commission is genuinely low.

There is no swap-free option, so overnight financing is an additional real cost on multi-day positions. Commissions and swaps are deducted from equity and therefore count towards your daily and maximum loss limits — on a 3% or 4% trailing model, a high-frequency lot-heavy approach burns through headroom on costs alone.
