Holy Crap Look At Those PIPS!

March 17, 2009 By: The Forex Noob Category: Forex Brokers, Preverbial Other No Comments →

I’ve checked out various brokers spreads but had not looked closely enough at the three I’m considering.

If you’ve read many of my posts you are aware I like Gold. I just noticed the spread on one of my demo accounts, 50 pips. High but I have cashed in on trading Gold so I will continue. Then I looked at a second demo account I have running and the spread was 150 pips!!! The third was 10 pips!

Fortunately the broker I am leaning toward has the lowest spread, FastFX (Fast Broker). The broker I have nearly decided to drop, REALForex (LiteForex) has the highest.

It is true that spreads vary between currancy pairs and FastFX is not always the lowest. I am finding that there is no perfect forex broker and that we all must find the one that best fits our needs. It’s not easy so a great deal of research is imperative.
