Not in pure XSLT 1, no.

in XSLT 1 sum() can only be applied to text that directly occurs in the
source, if you need to do any transformation before summing you have to
go back to your original plan of using a recursive template.

Or simpler (but probably a bit less efficient) if your processor has a
node-set extension first transform the source into a variable removing
commas but not doing a sum, then sum this new node set.

<xsl:variable name="x">
<xsl:for-each select="Trade/Step
   [concat(substring(MinFlowDate,7),substring(MinFlowDate,1,2),substring(MinFlowDate,4,2))>=
concat(substring($global,7)+3,substring($global,1,2),substring($global,4,2))]

   [concat(substring(MinFlowDate,7),substring(MinFlowDate,1,2),substring(MinFlowDate,4,2))<
concat(substring($global,7)+6,substring($global,1,2),substring($global,4,2))]
   /Charge">
<charge><xsl:value-of select="translate(.,',','.')"/></charge>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(sum(xx:node-set($x/charge),
'###,###,##0')"/>
