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 Iād 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.
