Spread vs execution

[brianB]

Hello all,

Another newbie here. I’ve been thru the pips school and have a couple of demo accounts going. Much to learn in the world of Forex.

My question relates to the spread vs the actual exection. Many folks are talking about “tight” spreads such as 1-5 pips. I see this in the difference between the bid and ask. However, when I actually enter the trade many times i’m seeing much larger “spreads” between what was shown and what was executed. Many times as much as 30-80 pips. Is this spread the same regardless of Standard, Mini, or Micro accounts? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

BTW this is an InterbankFX acct using MT-4

Spread is the same despite the size of the account. Stay away from those huge spread pairs.

Hello brianB!
I didn�t really understood your question� if what you meant was that when you place an order you get a re quote, that means your broker is stealing from you!!!

Personally, I have had good success with acm. In fact, I have never experienced a re quote with them, not even in a situation when the price is moving fast…
