Hello Everyone!

I'd be really interested to find out what kind of trading costs people are paying for EURUSD. Total trading cost is to include the following for a round turn trade (expressed in pips):

Spread
Commission
Rebate (if any)

And exclude:

Swap
Slippage

Please also comment on which broker you're with

I'm currently trading with Pepperstone, and am paying a spread of on average 0.35 pips (during london session, i only trade then), a commission of 0.7, and am rebated 0.05 pips per trade. So the total round turn cost is 1 pip.

Pepperstone as well

My commissions are $7.53 per 100k traded since my account is in USD..

but my rebate is a little more at $0.75 back per round lot traded.

So:

Spread, 0.01-0.9 (0.35 on average)
Plus cost in pips, 0.753 pips
Sans rebate in pips, 0.075 pips
Equals: ~ 1.03 pips total cost.

I pay no commission with Alpari US as it is a pure Dealing Desk. I wrote an EA to monitor the spread, and unlike any Demo the spread is consistently 1.6 pips with rare .1 deviations.
