I dont think the costs are all there is for trading with a broker. Its important when choosing a broker though.
Overpaying doesn't feel good, I agree.
This broker has pretty low costs, I've seen 0.5-0.7 pips on majors, and even europairs.
SURE maybe the average is closser to 07 or 09 is average, but still good, much better than others which can have 1.5-2 pips regular. Not feeling terrible about my pick.
