Typically spread for both of these pairs is about 4-5 pips, plus you'll have a commission of $3.00 - $4.00 per 100k traded on either of these pairs.

Commission Math

AUD/JPY - Exotic: US dollar is available as cross currency (AUD/JPY)

Use AUD/USD's current rate at the time the position is opened for AUD/JPY, keeping in mind that with an exotic, we reference the base currency's relationship to the US Dollar:

Formula: Deal Size X Deal Rate of AUD/USD X 0.00005

100,000 currency (1 lot) x $.7190 (AUD/USD rate)

$71,900 x $.00005 = $3.60

So average cost $3.60 + 4-5 pip spread.
