For the figures for each account type, see XS’s own account pages. These are XS’s own averages; we haven’t measured spreads. On EUR/USD, 1 pip on 1 lot is $10, so $6 is 0.6 pips.
XS doesn’t publish USD/JPY, gold or Bitcoin averages on these pages. Its site has contract specifications and swap rates; live spreads are visible in MT4/MT5.
Which to choose
With $500 or more, Pro or Elite (XS account types) cuts the published EUR/USD cost by roughly a third versus Standard. Elite charges the whole round-turn commission at opening, so a trade starts further in the red; Pro is simpler. Below $500, Standard, Cent and Micro all share the 1.1 average. Basics: spread basics; to price a spread for your lot size, use the pip calculator.

Is XS Elite or Pro cheaper?
On EUR/USD they're about level: Elite's 0.1 average plus $6 commission (0.6 pips on 1 lot) totals about 0.7 pips, the same as Pro's 0.7 with no commission.
What is the XS USD/JPY spread?

When do XS spreads widen?
As at most brokers, around the daily rollover, during major news releases and in thin trading. XS's figures are averages, so a quote well above them at a quiet hour is unusual.
How do I check XS spreads on other pairs?
Switch on the Spread column in MT4/MT5 Market Watch, or open a demo, and watch the pairs you trade at your usual hours over several days. For Elite, add the 0.6-pip commission to what you see before comparing it with Pro.
