Spread
Record a typical or observed spread for the same pair, account, session and market condition—not only an advertised minimum.
Same scenario, comparable evidence
Compare total trading costs beyond the headline spread. Record the same trade scenario across up to three legal entities or account types, including commission, financing, conversion and funding.
Record a typical or observed spread for the same pair, account, session and market condition—not only an advertised minimum.
Use the same lot basis and distinguish per-side from round-turn commission.
For positions held overnight, record the formula, currency, triple-charge day and source.
Include account-currency conversion, deposit and withdrawal fees, limits and processing conditions.
Keep the order size, time and volatility context with any demo or live observation. One fill is not a stable average.
Latency depends on location, server, connection and measurement method. Record context instead of comparing unexplained millisecond claims.
There is no universal lowest-cost broker. Total cost changes with legal entity, account type, pair, size, session, holding period, conversion and funding method.
Normalize commission to the same trade size and clarify whether each figure is per side or round turn, then compare it alongside spread and financing.
Yes, but only when the order, time, server, connection and market conditions are documented. Small samples do not establish typical execution quality.
No. Costs use different units and execution evidence depends on context, so the worksheet preserves evidence without calculating a universal winner.
