DNA Markets’ indexed Standard and Raw offer sits alongside separate Australian legal documents and a Saint Lucia website route. Published Raw commissions conflict, and several public pages now redirect to login; the profile distinguishes the available dated terms from current verified access.[1]

Pricing & charges04
Indexed minimum FX spread menu
These are minimums from an official-domain page indexed before the review, not live measured quotes. Raw commission remains inconsistent between USD 2.25 and USD 3 per standard lot per side, so neither number is selected as an authoritative all-in cost.[6][2]

Material source limitations
Sections ↑Several public website routes now lead to login, while account and spread information remains discoverable in official-domain indexing. The fee conflict and age of Australian documents are therefore retained, and the profile does not describe the indexed menu as a newly observed live quote.[2][6][5]
