The smart trader pays close attention to spreads, because they are the cost of trading.

Other market makers may list low spreads, even a 0.9 EUR/USD spread, but there are often strings attached. Their “special rates” may apply only if deposit amount, lot size, trade volume, regional or other restrictions are met. Or these rates may be available only for particular times of the day or week.

By contrast, OANDA FXTrade offers tight spreads to all traders with no discrimination. Our posted spreads are our standard spreads, except when market liquidity just isn't available to us (for example, during market events or weekends).

• Get the spread that’s posted (under normal market conditions).
• Get the same spread, regardless of your account size, account type, or trade size.
• Get the rate you expect, with immediate settlement, fast execution.
• 100% automated – no intermediaries, no trading desk, no disappointments.
