EUR USD spreads compared from ten different brokers
I took ten of the top CFD and spread betting brokers and pitted them against each other to find the best broker to trade EURUSD with.
Why?
Well, I wanted to see for myself which broker had the tightest spread… but unlike these big comparison sites, I’m a trader who wants the best deal possible. Like you, right?
Because if you’re in the UK and happen to trade… Well, be prepared to be bombarded with ads!
Brokers want your business…
“Trade with zero spread” is the common one…
Well, yeah, but you charge a commission on top, so it’s not really zero spread, is it?
Or the classic “Spreads from…”
Mate, no one here is still falling for the ‘from trick’, what’s next? “Everything must go?”
We don’t want headline spreads, we want real-world spreads a real trader would face on a typical trading day.
Anyway… enough trader cynicism. Let’s just find the broker with the lowest EURUSD spread, shall we?
Lowest EUR/USD Spread Method
So my method is pretty simple…
I get ten of the top brokers in the UK (or at least FCA-regulated) load up EUR/USD quotes on one screen, and take a screenshot at a random time of day.
No funny business, just what you or I would do if we saw a setup on EUR/USD. Open the ticket and place the trade.
I selected these brokers:
- CMC Markets
- IG
- SpreadEx
- City Index
- Plus 500
- Pepperstone
- Capital.com
- Forex.com
- Oanda
- FXCM
EUR/USD broker spreads ranked best to worst
Ok, let’s put these brokers in order. Remember, my rule is simple: the spread I see on the screenshot is the spread.
- CMC Markets and Pepperstone — 0.5 pips
- SpreadEx and IG — 0.6 pips
- Capital.com — 0.7 pips
- FXCM and City Index — 0.8 pips
- Oanda and Plus500 — 0.9 pips
- Forex.com — 1.0 pips
So, that was it, of the ten brokers I tested on a typical Friday afternoon trading forex,
The lowest-spread UK brokers on EUR/USD were Peppertone and CMC Markets at 0.5 pips.

Now, of course, do your own research and check the spreads yourself. Brokers can change spreads with market conditions or just because…, but those were my findings.
