Over the past year I’ve been paying much more attention to spreads, especially after I noticed how small costs add up when you trade more actively. I used to focus mostly on strategy and timing, but after a few months of scalping during busy work evenings, the spreads started to eat into my results. A friend pointed it out when we compared our trades and his results were slightly better despite similar entries. That made me wonder which brokers actually offer consistently low spreads and whether it’s worth switching just for that.

From my experience, the lowest spreads usually come from brokers with ECN or raw spread accounts, but you really have to look at the full picture. I’ve compared a few options using different sources, and checking platforms like Vetted FX Brokers
helped me understand how spreads differ depending on account type and market conditions. When I switched to a broker with tighter spreads, it didn’t magically boost profits, but it did make frequent trading feel more efficient and predictable.

I don’t trade very often, but I like reading threads like this because they explain things in a practical way. Even outside forex, costs like fees or margins are easy to overlook at first. It’s interesting how many people only start paying attention once they gain some experience. Discussions like this are useful not just for beginners, but also for anyone reviewing their setup from time to time.
