The rates above are indicative only and spreads are subject to change without prior notice depending on the market conditions (e.g. spreads may widen during illiquid or volatile market conditions). Spreads may also widen due to important news announcements, political uncertainty, unexpected events leading to volatile market conditions or at the close of the business day and on weekends when liquidity is lower.

FAQs
In forex trading, a spread is the difference between the buy price (ask) and the sell price (bid) of a security or forex pair. The difference is usually represented in pips. When trading a position, a spread is the gap or the difference between the short position and the long position.
Read the ArticleOur price feed comes from a number of leading liquidity providers and banks, allowing us to offer market-leading spreads as low as 0 pip on our Raw accounts, and 1.0 pip on Standard accounts.
If you wish to view real, live market rates across our entire product range, you may do this by going to our MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 trading platform.
On our trading platform:
1. go to the Market Watch window area;
2. right-click inside the window area and click ‘Spreads‘; and
3. a new column should appear displaying the real-time spreads for each Forex currency pair, commodity or index market.
Alternatively, compare our real-time rates on the go from your favourite smart devices via the MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 mobile apps.
Essentially, the tighter the spread, the lower the cost of trading. The wider the spread, the higher it costs.
For example, let’s say EURUSD is quoted with a buy price of 1.0984 and a sell price of 1.0983. The spread can be calculated by subtracting 1.0983 from 1.0984 – giving a total spread of 0.0001 or 1 pip.
At Eightcap, prices are quoted up to 5 decimal points.
