ATFX — where it wins, where it loses
ATFX does not currently take a column outright against this field. No column in our set puts it behind the field. Priced across ten round-turn EUR/USD lots it comes 19 of 39 in this field.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
No column where ATFX takes the field outright.
Loses on
No column in this set puts ATFX behind the field.
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.
