Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lowest possible spread on EUR/USD?

IC Markets and Exness both offer 0.0 pip raw spreads on their ECN accounts at peak liquidity times. In practice, EUR/USD rarely stays at exactly 0.0 pips - IC Markets averages 0.02 pips and Exness averages close to 0.0 pips. The all-in cost including commission at these brokers is approximately 0.07-0.09 pip equivalent per lot.

Is a lower spread always better?

Not necessarily. A 0.0 pip spread with $3.50/side commission costs more than a 0.6 pip no-commission account at volumes below approximately 12 lots per month. Break-even is at 12-15 standard lots/month. Above that, ECN accounts save money. Below that, standard no-commission accounts may cost less in total.

Do spreads change during news events?

Yes. Variable-spread ECN accounts can widen dramatically during major news events like US Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC decisions, or CPI releases. IC Markets and Pepperstone spreads can briefly spike to 2-5 pips during such events. AvaTrade's fixed spreads do not widen but are permanently wider at 0.9 pips.
