How much commission does Pepperstone charge per lot in Australia?
On the Razor account, the figure depends on the platform and your account currency. On an AUD account using MT5, it is AUD 3.50 per standard lot each time you open or close, so AUD 7 for a full trade. MT4 charges the same total, AUD 7 per lot, but takes it all when the position opens. Spot gold (XAU/USD) on MT5 costs AUD 4.50 per side.
The Standard account charges no commission at all on forex; you pay through a wider spread instead. Index and crypto CFDs carry no commission on either account. If the Razor model suits your volume, you can open a Pepperstone account and choose it at sign-up.

Which Australian CFD brokers offer raw spreads from 0.0 pips?
Among our three brokers, Pepperstone does: its Razor account shows raw forex spreads from 0.0 pips, and Pepperstone publishes an average of 0.1 pips on EUR/USD, plus commission. 'From 0.0' is a minimum, not what every trade gets; spreads widen around news and at the daily rollover.
Capital.com, our second pick, holds an ASIC licence but prices through the spread with no commission, so it does not sell a raw-spread account in the same sense. XS, our third, has an Elite account from 0.1 pips on EUR/USD plus $6 per lot round turn, with a $500 minimum, but XS is not ASIC-licensed.
Which ASIC regulated forex broker has the lowest commission?
Capital.com charges no trading commission, so on that single measure it is the lowest of our three. That does not make it the cheapest to trade, because its cost sits in the spread, and we do not publish a Capital.com spread figure. Commission alone never tells you the full price.
Among commission-based accounts, Pepperstone publishes the full table, including the per-side rate for each account currency. The rate differs by account currency, so compare it in the currency you will actually hold.

Which Australian brokers charge no inactivity fee?
Pepperstone charges no inactivity or account-keeping fee. It does say that accounts holding fewer than 10 units of currency and left unused for three months or more may be archived; Pepperstone does not list a fee for this. We have not verified the inactivity terms of Capital.com or XS, so read their fee pages before you leave an account idle.
