Forex Brokers for Spread and Low Commissions

Submitted by admin on Monday, 28 September 2009No Comment

Most forex brokers have spreads of at least 2 pips on EUR/USD and many are 3 or 4 pip spreads. I’m currently using Interactive Brokers whose spread on EUR/USD runs about 1 to 2 pips plus a small commission. Are there any forex brokers that are better?
Dre Dude. Thanks for the feedback. 56 points is horrible, but I did see that spike Friday afternoon in the charts. I guess that could happen in a volatile moment.

I’m not trading right now so I wasn’t affected. I’m trying to get my automated system running in paper trade mode first.

I haven’t heard of any. You’re probably better off where you are, paying a small commission to keep the spread small.

The spreads are terrible on the cross pairs, 8 and 10 pips. That’s a $100 commission.

But really, execution is more important than the spread. If you pay a one pip spread but get 2-10 pips slippage, you’re worse off than just paying the 2-pip spread.

I broker through FXDD (through PremiereTrade), and have been having real solid executions, right on the money, with no slippage at all until last Friday’s Non-Farm Payroll report, and got raped for 56 pips from my order on the Euro. But there was some funny business with that report. My Entry Order executed at 8:29 a.m., one minute before the Report. Somebody was front-running, with advance knowledge, and everybody else got raped. How’d you do?
