* Typical spreads are estimated values based on observation of major currency pairs such as EUR/USD and USD/JPY during regular market hours at the time of this writing.
These estimates may not accurately reflect the typical spreads at times of unusual volatility such as major economic news announcements; long periods of unusual volatility
such as the autumn of 2008; nor the daily times of low volume (thin liquidity) such as the morning hours in Sydney's and Tokyo's local time zones. Actual spreads vary
based on market conditions.
** STP accounts compensate the broker through a traditional spread mark-up, but the resulting spread will remain variable as
the markup is added over the live quote stream from our liquidity providers. ECN accounts compensate the broker through fixed commissions instead and are preferred by
many active traders due to the transparency of market movements from our institutional liquidity providers.
In both account types (STP as well as ECN account types), your trades are passed to liquidity providers via our aggregation technology
provider. Only the compensation method differs.
