The live prop firm spread board.
Current spreads per firm and instrument, ranked over a rolling 15 minute window so no single tick decides a leader. Values flash as new samples land; stale feeds are labeled instead of hidden.
What the board shows
The board tracks 4 firms across 5 instruments (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, Gold (XAU/USD), US Tech 100 (NAS100), GER40 (DAX)). Every figure is a sampled quote normalized to dollars per one-lot round turn with the firm's published commission included. The interactive board loads with the application on this page.
Frequently asked questions
What is a spread?
The spread is the gap between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an instrument, quoted here in pips or points. It is the baseline cost of opening a position before any commission; a tighter spread means a cheaper entry, which is why every row leads with this figure.
Raw vs standard accounts: what's the difference?
A standard account bundles the firm's markup into a wider spread and usually charges no separate commission. A raw (or zero) account passes through a near-interbank spread and adds a fixed commission per lot. The cost-to-you figure normalises both so they can be compared on equal terms.
Why do spreads widen on news?
Around scheduled releases and at session boundaries liquidity thins out, so market makers quote defensively and the bid-ask gap widens. A row flagged as widening is showing a spread meaningfully above its own recent rolling average: context, not a verdict.
Is commission included in the cost figure?
Where a provider's commission schedule is known it is folded into the estimated cost-to-you alongside the spread; rows still awaiting a verified schedule use clearly identified placeholder assumptions. Spread and commission are always shown so you can see how the total is built.
What is a pip, a point and a cent here?
Different instruments quote their spread in different units: currency pairs in pips, indices in points, gold in cents. None of them compare directly, which is why every cost figure on the site converts the quoted unit into dollars per one-lot round turn first.
What does the arrow under a spread mean?
It compares the current spread with that same cell's rolling 15 minute average: down means tighter than its own average, up means wider. Direction is always carried by the sign and the arrow together, never by colour alone.
Why did a firm's row go quiet?
When a feed stops sending data, the row keeps its last received values on screen with a visible staleness note. Nothing is silently recalculated and nothing pretends to be fresh.
This tool provides an indicative comparison of spreads and estimated execution costs based on periodic snapshots from connected data feeds and normalized trade assumptions. Displayed values are not tradable quotes and may differ from prices available on any provider's live accounts. Spreads vary by account type, server, liquidity conditions, and time of day. Competitor names and marks belong to their respective owners; no affiliation or endorsement is implied. The "Average Prop Firm" benchmark is a computed composite of sampled competitor feeds, not the published pricing of any specific firm. Cost estimates use a normalized trade scenario and do not constitute financial advice or a prediction of trading results.
