Measured spreads
Broker websites quote spreads "from 0.0 pips"; what matters is the spread on your ticket at the moment your order fills. Across 1,207 measured fills on 2 connected accounts, Vantage Markets averaged 0.7 points, with EURUSD the most-traded symbol. Spread uses the closest broker tick at or before each fill — never a later tick. It includes news widening and rollover, which advertised figures don't.
On EURUSD, Vantage Markets's measured spread at the closest pre-fill tick ties for 2 of 6 measured brokers.
Average spread from the closest pre-fill tick; the money column uses the broker's own tick value, per 1.00 lot.

Across 1,207 measured EURUSD fills, Vantage Markets's average spread at the closest pre-fill tick was 0.7 points. The per-symbol table shows other instruments separately.
Advertised spreads are usually a feed minimum. These numbers use the closest tick at or before real fills — including news spikes, rollover widening and off-peak hours — without leaking a post-fill quote into the measurement.
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.
