ECN Cost Calculation?

[Ubzen]

If an ECN broker list: Commission per 1 million starting from US$18 per side (depends on the Net Deposit).

Is this better than paying 2-Pip spreads on EURUSD as an example?

Assuming you're lucky to have 0 Spreads on your ECN Orders?

Hm, afaik:

Opening and closing 5Lot of EURUSD would be equal to a trading volume of 1 mio.

18$ on ECN vs. 2pip Spread= 5*2*(~10)=100$;
