Those spreads aren't that bad... 1.1 pip for EUR? That's not bad at all. You can get .5 - 1 at IB+commission.

.5-1 pip + comms... I pay exactly $8 USD round turn per standard lot... So basically, I pay anywhere from 1.3-1.8 pips

Futures I pay right around 2.50 per turn...

My main account is with IB which is a universal account. I can trade anything... I trade FX, Futures, and Futures overseas (I trade Hong Kong market nightly)...

I also have an account with Oanda, but that's mostly so I can just get the tick data for backtesting since their data is top notch.

My broker charges me 1pip per trade. And its so hard for me to see 0.5pip spread! Now when i look at TS, im thinking...hey these guys are proly earning 0.1pip from me only, is there such thing as a nice/honest market maker?
