The FxFriend Broker Spreads Comparison tool helps you find the most cost-effective forex brokers by comparing live spreads across 15+ regulated brokers. Trading costs directly impact your profitability, and spreads (the difference between bid and ask prices) are typically the largest component of these costs. Our comparison table displays real-time spreads for popular pairs including EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, and XAU/USD (Gold), allowing you to see which brokers offer the tightest execution prices. We also show commission structures because many ECN and Raw Spread accounts charge low spreads plus a per-lot commission. Our 'Total Cost' column combines spread and commission into a single pip-equivalent value, making true cost comparison easy. Spreads vary by account type: Standard accounts typically have wider spreads (1-2 pips on EUR/USD) but no commission, while Raw/ECN accounts offer near-zero spreads (0.0-0.3 pips) plus commission ($3-7 per lot). For high-volume traders, Raw accounts usually offer better value despite the commission. Our comparison includes both Thai-friendly brokers (with THB deposits and local support) and international ECN specialists. Remember that spreads can widen during high-volatility periods, news releases, and low-liquidity sessions, so the typical spreads shown are averages during normal market conditions. Use this tool alongside our broker reviews to find the best combination of low costs, reliable execution, and regulatory protection for your trading needs.
