TradeProofer is a forex trader community where members can benchmark their broker’s quote and trade execution against other members’ brokers. TradeProofer release monthly reports on broker spreads to summarize how the community saw brokers’ spreads. This time we focus on March.

The charts show spread distribution of each broker for a selection of 10 currency pairs. The closer the curve is to 0 the more competitive the spread. All spread values are commission-adjusted spreads. View the detailed data.
Most interesting findings:
  • Although forex trading is known for being extremely competitive, there is a 6-8x fold difference between the most and least competitive brokers. It’s like some McDonalds would sell BigMac for 10 dollars and others for 60-80.
  • Fixed spread brokers are usually at the lower end of the rankings, steady spread comes at a price.
  • Even (supposedly) floating spread brokers have interesting spikes around nice-and-round spread values, they likely follow a semi-floating semi-fixed spread policy.
  • 60-80% of top 10 brokers do charge commission, so paying commission does not necessarily mean you are ripped off.

Yohay Elam: Founder, Writer and Editor I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I've accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
