How to read the table
The table ranks brokers by average EUR/USD spread on the standard (commission-free) account, lowest first. Gold spreads are in cents per ounce, so “16” means about $0.16. These are typical figures: XS.com publishes its own account averages, and for the others we use averages reported by review sites, which each broker’s spread page links. A dash means no comparable gold average for that broker.
| Broker | EUR/USD (standard) | Gold (standard) | Raw account (EUR/USD + round-trip commission) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exness |
about 0.8 pips | about $0.16 | 0.2 pips + $7 |
| XS.com |
1.1 pips | about $0.20 | 0.1 pips + $6 (Elite) |
| Titan FX |
about 1.2 pips | — | 0.2 pips + $7 (Zero Blade) |
| Vantage |
about 1.4 pips | about $0.25 | 0.13 pips + $6 (Raw ECN) |
| HFM |
about 1.4 pips | about $0.38 | 0.0 pips + $6 (Zero) |
| XM |
about 1.6 pips | about $0.35 | No raw account |
| BigBoss |
about 1.9 pips | about $0.32 | $9 commission (Pro Spread) |
| FXGT |
about 1.9 pips | about $0.32 | 0.5 pips + $6 (ECN Zero) |
On one standard lot of EUR/USD, the gap between Exness ($8) and BigBoss or FXGT ($19) is $11 per trade, which adds up quickly for active traders.

Frequently asked questions
Which offshore broker has the lowest spreads?
On standard accounts, Exness: EUR/USD averages about 0.8 pips and gold about $0.16. On raw accounts, HFM Zero (0.0 pips plus $6 round trip) and XS.com Elite (0.1 pips plus $6) are the cheapest all-in.
Can I trust 'spreads from 0.0 pips'?
It's a minimum, not what you'll usually pay. The averages in our table are the better comparison.
Do spreads change during the day?
Yes. They tend to widen around major news and in low-liquidity hours.
How do I check a broker's spreads myself?
Open a demo, right-click Market Watch in MT4 or MT5 and switch on the Spread column. Watch your pairs at the times you trade over several days. For commission accounts, add the round-trip commission converted into pips.
Why do spreads widen at rollover?
Around the daily rollover at 5pm New York time, liquidity providers pause and fewer quotes are available, so spreads widen for a few minutes. Avoid opening or closing positions in that window if you can.
