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 and offering the lowest pip 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 the lowest pip spread
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.
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.
