Trading Cost Research

A 0.0-pip headline does not mean
zero cost.

Low-spread research should include commissions, swaps, execution, slippage, account type, funding and withdrawal costs—not just the smallest advertised number.

Before choosing a low-spread route, verify

✓ Average spread during the sessions you actually trade
✓ Commission per side and round-turn cost
✓ Swap or financing charges for held positions
✓ Slippage, execution and order-handling policy
✓ Funding, conversion and withdrawal costs
