How is spread cost calculated?
Spread cost = spread in pips x pip value x lot size. For EUR/USD at 1 standard lot (100,000 units), each pip equals $10, so a 0.8 pip spread costs $8 per round-trip trade. For USD/JPY, pip value is roughly $9.20 per standard lot. For XAU/USD (Gold), pip value is $10 per lot.
Do brokers widen spreads during news?
Yes. Market makers and some ECN brokers widen spreads 3x to 10x during high-impact news like NFP, CPI, and FOMC. True ECN brokers like IC Markets and Pepperstone show minimal widening because they route directly to interbank liquidity providers.
What is a good EUR/USD spread in 2026?
Anything under 0.5 pips on a Raw or Zero account is excellent. Standard accounts should offer 0.8 to 1.2 pips. Above 1.5 pips on EUR/USD means you are overpaying and should switch brokers immediately.
Are Raw spread accounts cheaper than Standard?
Raw accounts charge tighter spreads but add a commission ($6 to $7 round-trip per lot). For scalpers and high-volume traders (50+ lots/month), Raw is almost always cheaper. For position traders under 20 lots/month, Standard typically wins.
Which broker has the lowest EUR/USD spread in 2026?
Based on live 2026 data, Exness Zero and IC Markets Raw consistently show 0.0 to 0.1 pips on EUR/USD during London and New York sessions (plus commission). Standard account leaders are Exness (0.7 avg) and Pepperstone (0.77 avg).
