Tight Spreads, No Strings Attached
Get consistently low spreads—without discrimination based on how much (or how little) you trade
It's easy to claim "low spreads" in your marketing copy. Online brokers do it all the time, advertising "spreads as low as..."—but with fine print about who actually qualifies. Read closely to see if you meet their restrictions based on account size, lot size, or trade volume.
OANDA’s spread policy is simple: to offer the tightest spreads possible, with no discrimination. On fxTrade, everyone gets exactly the same spread regardless of account size, trade size, or customer type.
fxTrade is based on more than 30 years of currency market research and expertise. The platform comprises proprietary market-making and risk-management technologies that have made OANDA a forex market leader. Our technology allows us to narrow spreads overall and minimize spread increases. Automation, process engineering, and patented algorithms help us lower our transaction costs to pennies per trade.
But don't take our word for it. Compare our spreads to those of other market makers and see for yourself.
