Spreads from 0.6 pips on a popular range of currency pairs

Our forex CFDs spreads are variable depending on underlying market prices. In most conditions we can usually offer our minimum spread, but when market prices go wider, our spread will increase. Market prices can get wider at illiquid times of day, or when major news or economic data is released. In the tables below you will find our minimum spreads and our average spread for a given period:

  • Average spread – the average spread over a given period of time

  • Minimum spread – our tightest possible spread

* For forex, by number of primary relationships with FX traders (Investment Trends UK Leveraged Trading Report released June 2021)
