Help me understand about spread

Does a broker charge the same spread both in the demo and live account? Or demos are just reallt tighter in spread so as to attract traders?

Hmmm, thought Iā€™d have to have a look at this.

Actually, I have both a demo and a live account but they are with different UK firms. Anyway, their spreads are currently -
EUR/USD - Live = 0.8 pips: Demo = 2.4 pips
GBP/USD - Live = 1.9 pips: Demo = 4.9 pips
USD/JPY - Live = 1.5 pips: Demo = 1.0 pips
Dow - Live = 5.0pts: Demo = 9.8pts

In the 3 out of the 4 markets I looked at the live account offers tighter spreads.
