Lowest spread forex broker – 5Stars forex

The amount of pips between the bidding price and the asking price is called the spread. The spread is what forex brokers use to make money on every forex trade placed through their network. For example, the forex broker may be paying a price of 1.3600 for buying or selling. The broker will then allow you to buy the currency for 1.3601 or sell it for 1.3599.

The truth is fixed spreads do not offer any significant advantage and are subject to forex broker tactics such as widening - a tactic whereby forex brokers with dealing desks manipulate the spreads on offer to their clients when client trades move against the broker.

5Starsforex's ECN/STP trading model does not have a fixed spread. This means the spread on offer will accurately reflect the true buying and selling rates for a particular currency pair and ensures investors are trading forex under real forex market conditions of supply and demand.

A fixed spread may seem like a good thing when market conditions are optimal and there is heavy supply and demand. The fact is, a fixed spread remains in place even when market conditions are not the best and regardless of what the true buying and selling rates for any given currency pair are.

Our ECN/STP model provides our clients with direct access to the other Forex market participants (retail and institutional). We do not compete with our clients or even trade against them. This grants our clients more advantages over dealing desk market makers:

•  Very tight spreads
• Better forex rates
• No conflict of interest between 5Stars forex and its clients
•  No limits on Scalping
• No “stop-loss hunting”

5Stars forex strives to offer its clients the most competitive rates and spreads in the market. This is the reason we have invested heavily in establishing strong relationships with the most reputable and reliable liquidity providers. The advantage our clients have is that they enter the forex arena on the same terms as majors.

Prices are streamed from various liquidity providers to 5Stars forex’s Aggregation Engine which then selects the best BID and ASK prices from the streamed prices and posts the selected best BID/ASK prices to our clients, as illustrated in the flow diagram below.
