From = lowest published spread; Typical = broker-published average. Reference figures with source and date, not live prices.

Published spreads are indicative and may vary by account type, entity and market conditions. Commission may apply.

How to read the Spread Meter

  • Pick a pair, such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD or gold, to rank brokers by that instrument.
  • Compare the typical spread: a published average is a better guide to everyday cost than a minimum "from" figure.
  • On raw or zero-spread accounts, add the commission per lot to the spread to see the full cost.
  • Check the date next to each figure — spreads change, so a recent check is more reliable.

Frequently asked questions

What is a forex spread meter?

A forex spread meter lines up the spreads different brokers publish for the same currency pair, so you can see at a glance which accounts are cheaper to trade.

Are these live spreads?

No. These are published reference figures taken from each broker's own pricing information, each shown with its source and the date it was checked. Spreads you get when trading can differ, especially around news or in quiet hours.

Why does a raw account show a lower spread?

Raw or zero-spread accounts pass on a tighter spread but charge a commission per lot instead. Add that commission to the spread to compare it fairly with a standard account.

How often are the spreads updated?

There is no fixed schedule. Our team re-checks figures against each broker's published pricing, and every figure shows the date it was last checked.

FXSpreadMeter Ratings

Top Rated Forex Brokers 2026

Compare highly rated brokers across trading costs, platforms, regulation and overall conditions.

FP Markets logo

Rank #1

FP Markets

Rating

9.3 / 10

Best for
Shares and FX in one place
Why it ranks here
FP Markets pairs raw-spread FX pricing with direct-market-access share dealing, so cost-sensitive traders and multi-asset investors can work from one account group. Five platform choices, regulation across ASIC, FSCA, SCA, FSA and CMA, and no minimum deposit make it our strongest all-round pick this quarter.
IC Markets logo

Rank #2

IC Markets

Rating

8.9 / 10

Best for
Raw-spread trading
Why it ranks here
IC Markets is built around cheap execution rather than hand-holding. If you already know how you want to trade and value platform choice, the Raw Spread tier is one of the more compelling cost structures available. Read the entity disclosure carefully: the leverage headline you see may come from the offshore arm rather than the ASIC-regulated one.
XM Group logo

Rank #3

XM Group

Rating

8.7 / 10

Best for
New traders
Why it ranks here
XM is a sensible starting point rather than a cost leader. The tiny minimum deposit, deep education library and responsive support suit traders still finding their footing; once volume grows, the Standard account's spread-only pricing starts to look expensive next to raw-spread rivals.
eToro logo

Rank #4

eToro

Rating

8.5 / 10

Best for
Copy trading
Why it ranks here
eToro trades execution cost for accessibility. The social layer and multi-asset account are genuinely useful if you want to follow others or hold equities alongside FX, but active intraday traders will feel the spread and miss MetaTrader.
XTB logo

Rank #5

XTB

Rating

8.7 / 10

Best for
Traders who prefer a single proprietary platform
Why it ranks here
XTB is a listed international broker running its own xStation platform, with a research and education layer that suits traders who prefer one integrated interface.
Capital.com logo

Rank #6

Capital.com

Rating

8.5 / 10

Best for
Newer CFD traders who want guided tools
Why it ranks here
Capital.com combines a clean proprietary platform with MT4 access and an in-app learning layer aimed at newer CFD traders.
