Scroll the table sideways to reach all 14 columns — the broker column stays pinned. “Cost / 10 lots” is the spread charge on ten standard-lot round turns at $10 per pip. Retail EU/UK leverage is capped at 1:30 regardless of a broker's offshore ceiling.

Spreads are typical EUR/USD figures on each broker's tightest standard or raw account and will widen around news. Leverage caps vary by regulator and client classification — retail EU and UK traders are capped at 1:30 whatever a broker's offshore ceiling says. Tier-1 regulators (FCA, ASIC, CFTC/NFA, BaFin, MAS, IIROC, Central Bank of Ireland and equivalents) carry the strongest client-money protections.
