Orbex — where it wins, where it loses
Orbex does not currently take a column outright against this field. It loses on tier-1 cover, published spread, lapsed licence on file. Its cost per ten lots is not confirmed, so it is left out of the cost ordering rather than estimated.
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 Orbex takes the field outright.
Loses on
- tier-1 cover
- published spread
- lapsed licence on file
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.
