View full pricing schedule

As one of the largest Forex providers, FOREX.com has long standing trading relationships with a number of top tier global banks. These relationships enable us to offer our customers highly competitive pricing in all market conditions.

Market-Driven Pricing: Our quotes are derived directly from the prices we receive from our bank trading partners, so our dealing spreads always reflect available liquidity in the foreign exchange market.
Low Minimum Spread: When market liquidity is high, we pass this on to you in the form of our tightest possible spreads – the minimum spread. Typical spreads are now listed alongside the minimum spreads for greater transparency.
Capped Max Spread: As liquidity changes, our spreads will adjust accordingly, but only up to a maximum spread of 3 times the typical spread in any currency pair. This cap protects you against excessively wide spreads during major economic announcements and other volatile market conditions, representing 99.99% of all price quotes during normal market hours.*
Precise Quotes: Our real-time executable prices are quoted in more precise 0.1 pip increments – this extra digit of precision is designed to deliver tighter, more accurate bid/ask spreads
Price Improvement Ability: If you submit a market order and a better price is available at the time your deal is executed we’ll give it to you, up to a 2 pip improvement.

As always, you pay no commissions at FOREX.com. Your only transaction cost is the dealing spread - the difference between the bid and the ask price.
*Percentage of time FOREX.com spreads remained at or lower than maximum spread for period between 1/6/09 – 31/5/10.
Over the past ten years, FOREX.com has made significant technology investments to support our growing customer base and to ensure we maintain our high execution standards. Market orders are handled systematically and filled at the best available rate - without human intervention. Most trades are filled instantaneously to avoid hanging trades or unnecessary delays.
