FAQ
What spread does Startrader Financial Markets Limited actually have?
Across 1,082 measured fills, Startrader Financial Markets Limited's average spread at fill time was 12.7 points. The per-symbol table on this page breaks that down — spreads differ a lot between majors, metals and indices, so check the symbol you trade.
Why do these numbers differ from Startrader Financial Markets Limited's advertised spreads?
Advertised spreads are the lowest figure the raw feed ever shows, usually mid-session on EURUSD. These numbers are measured at fill time on real orders — including news spikes, rollover widening and off-peak hours. Measured at-fill spread is what you actually paid.
Are these spreads in pips or points?
Points — on a 5-digit forex symbol, 10 points = 1 pip. Where the broker's own tick value is known, the per-symbol table also shows the approximate cost per 1.00 lot in money, which is easier to compare across symbols.
