I use the non-commission model personally. If you don’t mind trading larger and don’t need small increments, then the non commission model is better. If you want to trade smaller or in smaller increments, you will have to use the commission model.
It basically comes down to account size and flexibility. The spreads are wider than the commission model, but since there is no commission, most of the time I find both models to come out close to the same. Their non-commission model doesn’t allow lot sizes smaller than 10,000 units and only allows increments of 10,000 units. I would avoid them if you plan on being a scalper or something like that. So that can be pretty expensive for a small account depending on your trading style. You get tighter spreads with that model, but you pay commission of. The smallest increment you can trade in is 1000 units and that is only on their commission model.
One thing to keep in mind is that they don’t offer lot sizes smaller than a mini (1000 units). The only thing I would say is that they don’t have the tightest spreads out there, but they are not bad either. I use TD Ameritrade with Thinkorswim for forex and have not had an issue.
