Our spreads on the majority of currency pairs and gold are extremely competitive and typically less than 1 pip in normal market conditions. Spreads do, of course, naturally rise during periods of high impact news and volatility; traders should be aware of this and take it into consideration when making trading decisions. The spreads at that moment will be determined by the state of the market and other considerations. Commissions are $2 for each side of a lot. This works out to $5 for each round journey.
