I would like to gainer peoples thoughts on the most cost effective broker / spreads / commissions.
Particularly icmarkets or similar.
Experience on LIVE accounts, day trading (not HFT), but entries from m15 to h4.
What is best? Raw spreads with cost per lot or standard account with commission built in to spread?
thanks for feedback?
Also anyone know Prime of Prime brokers that look at retails traders using mt4/mt5?

To be honest, raw spreads are much lower than standard or fixed spreads, but in order to use it profitably - you need to be well oriented in the market and be able to make calculations correctly, so that you can have several trades in parallel and it is safe...
raw spread for major pairs; maybe look at fixed for some minor pairs..was paying over 50 pips spread on gbp/nzd live account on good broker .tickmill early this year when market was moving.raw speads can be wide on majors too ;but not often and mostly below 10 pips.

I think a lot depends on your strategy and experience, because universal rules are not the best option in the market.
To determine what suits you, it is worth trying different directions and approaches, with small amounts of money, naturally, so that it is safe in all circumstances.

Raw spread and standard accounts are quite similar but one factor that you can distinguish them is Standard a/cs have no commission fee whereas raw spread accounts have moderate fees.
With raw spreads, you have the best conditions the overall market has to offer.
With standard account, you have the best conditions your broker has to offer - this usually means less variation in the spread. You have to pay extra for this safety, though.
I'd choose raw spreads.

yes, I am looking at icmarkets at $3.50 a lot. Do you think brokers would take less $ per lot?
