Spreads play a significant role in trading costs. While a spread of 0.5 points may appear small, it is the accumulation of these seemingly minor "price differences" that determines your earnings in forex trading. When combined with the leverage, spreads can have a substantial impact on the profitability of your trading strategy. As a result, forex traders are always on the lookout for platforms offering the best spreads.
So which platform offers the lowest spreads? Brokersview has conducted a review of the best low spread brokers and here are the findings.
