I am looking into opening up a demo account with them, and possibly trading with them in the future. Just like the other places out there, the demo is free. As I was looking through their site I came upon the fees section, and this is what is said:
"Fees
FOREX.com charges NO trading commissions* or fees, regardless of account balance or trading activity. "
You see the asterix, I had to look that up too and this is what is said:
“* FOREX.com is compensated for its services through the bid/ask spread.”
I wasn’t sure myself, but in the glossary that is posted here it says:
“Spread: The difference between the bid and offer (ask) prices of a currency; used to measure market liquidity. Narrower spreads usually signify high liquidity.”
