Spreadex — where it wins, where it loses
Spreadex wins on headline spread. No column in our set puts it behind the field. Priced across ten round-turn EUR/USD lots it comes 9 of 17 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.

Loses on
No column in this set puts Spreadex 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.
