Marty Landry Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I don’t really believe that one is required to compare so much after he has already started with the broker but yes when we are new and it’s time to select the broker then we must compare things because that is what is going to lead us into finding a quality company and will allow us to make solid profits and that’s why I went with OctaFX only. They are regulated and also a multiple award winning company so we get the best chance of success with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacha Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 The raw ECN spread will give my EA the best possible platform to trigger the orders.it's almost a years i held my ecn account with Tickmill which ensure my trading condition requirement, narrowest trading spreads, low mark up fees even for commision base broker.I take into consideration that most STPs have their chart prices marked up - that means that if my EA/Robot reads prices off the chart rather than market watch, then i might experience some triggering issues. By long time research about broker activity, thought I have chosen best brokerage service as my trading partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzil Al Banna Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Unfortunately, I have seen maximum brokers are fraud on this spread issue. Because, in volatile condition they increase their trading spread size, that’s really unfortunate for me as a retail trader. Because, I needed an honest broker. Then I found TradingBanks broker is very truthful on this issue. Really, I have never found there extra trading spread but I get fixed trading spread at any condition of market.

binaryowner Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think we need to carefully checking spreads everytime as its the main reason why scalpers loose. I check spreads every time I trade with Hotforex using special spread EA which doesn't allow me to enter if spread is higher than 0.8 pip.

Joshim Rahman Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 As, I get ZERO trading spread service from MTI Markets trading broker. That’s way, I am very positive on this ECN trading broker. I see, market maker brokers do not care about their commitment but reliable brokers are very dependable. That is the main advantage to use a reliable trading broker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run spread indicator EA at Hotforex and just open several chart windows Oil and other pairs I need and basically I have all these spreads on my monitor. I think it should suit you too.

uncle gober Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Each trader has a choice of the broker to be used, should the trader can choose a broker that is more appropriate to the concept of trading will be used. if you choose scalping should choose a broker that allows trading concept such as this. I am now very comfortable in TICKMILL, I get low spreads which can be used to perform scalping technique without any restrictions, traders can execute orders under one second Quote Become IB on TICKMILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivansh Sharma Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think when we talk about comparison of spread, it is MUST that we compare other things too, I mean by commission and cash back. Firstly this is such a cheap trick by certain brokers which claims to be lowest charging in this industry, but when you know reality, it is very ugly since they charge massive fees from us through commission, so that means all the low spread play is just a trick. I also like to put focus on cash back service, as it is also something that should be taken into note. I say OctaFX is in massive lead when you compare all parts, they have low spread starting from 0.2 pips, but important thing is, we don’t have to pay any commission while there is also 50% cash back as well!

diablo88 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 how's about this link, anyone can led me some insights about this spread comparison: https://www.hotforex.com/mu/en/trading-products/spread-graph.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxapex Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 No i think its more important to analyse the broker dealings, and there are brokers who offer good support with decent spreads, i ve been trading with liteforex and they offer good spreads.

usok Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 its not about what i believe, i mean, if in doubt then do a manual comparison, its that simple. though in my opinion since i dont scalp much, spreads dont bother me really, since i mostly have swings and trades that lasts days.

usok Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was refering to actually checking their spreads or if you know of people trading a certain broker, u can just ask them and compare to the broker you are using. but dont rely too much of the spread comparison that is shown, im not sure how good or realistic they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo88 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I trust more in comparison spread of third-side as this http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-broker-volume, however, can we trust this, many yellow brokers and I know for sure they paid money for yellow ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivansh Sharma Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think there are so many sites which provide honest comparison, so we can obviously get all the info from there, I believe it is important that we judge any company by our own research since that’s the best way and obviously the most trusted way as well. I am working with OctaFX broker, I don’t need any site to tell me about their service, it is easily the best with having lowest spread which is just 0.1 pips starting point while there is also high leverage up to 1.500 and bonus up to 50%, but best thing is their quality service which have won them 14 awards in shortest time in history, it is just 4 years so that is really massive achievement.

binaryowner Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I think independent spreads comparisons are fair and display accurate results but they doesn't reflect actual spreads and slippage your order will be filled with (and as we know it greatly depends on the lot size you enter the market). So I prefer to test platform myself rather than relying on these statistics or at least you them as a complementary information. My current broker Hotforex sometimes provides worse spreads on myfxbook but when it comes to actual execution then I think I receive best spreads I can wish to have.

uncle gober Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Each broker seeks to provide the most benefit to the trader, now I try to be able to stabilize trading in TICKMILL. based on my experience is suitable to trade with scalping especially for ECN accounts. in addition, can now make changes to your account to an account free swap. Comparison of spreads in the website like myfxbook provide an overview of the performance of the broker that will be used transparently and this will improve the performance of competing broker to give small spread and satisfactory for traders Quote Become IB on TICKMILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmadvipro Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Each broker has its own advantages regarding the reliability of the server and the spread offered. I am now very comfortable trading at Vipro Market that gives me low spreads even with a pair XAUUSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Morkel Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Spread is mainly considered as an important financial too which an investor should consider when choosing a broker. In my trading career, I have chosen Trade12 regulated trading broker due to 0.1 pips lowest trading spreads which is very supportive to make profit with certainly by using any kinds of trading strategies. So, my trading life is very much profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usok Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 some are accurate, you can tell, or you can simply compare, like lmfx the broker i recently trade offers spreads on eurusd at 1.4 on an average which i find really low, im talking about premium live accounts, other broker might have spread such as 1.6-1.8 and since most are STP (im not a fan of MM brokers) so expect spread widening during big moves which is normal really.

Josheb Fredy Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 We should do complete comparison not just spread since that’s only way we will be able to find a really good broker. I work with FreshForex company and they’re not just having lowest spread, but they also have highest bonus offer of double deposit and most important thing, we can just see their Review Section, it show over 90% traders been satisfied! It’s simply unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josheb Fredy Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 No, I don’t believe in spread comparison, I believe in complete comparison, I believe that if we wish to achieve anything then we need to have good broker and that’s not just been low spread, it’s complete package that we need. I go for FreshForex, it’s a complete package with Zero Spread account feature plus having bonuses and many other features, but most importantly they are trustworthy, so highly dependable.
