EU forex broker costs for retail traders laid bare in new index

Original: October 2026 EU Broker Spread Index: for the 21 brokers open to EU retail clients, a standard lot of EUR/USD costs $4.50

A new October 2026 index compares trading costs across 21 brokers serving EU retail clients. A standard EUR/USD lot ranges from $4.50 to $13.00 all-in, with a median of $8.00. At 10 lots per month, that means $540 to $1,560 a year depending on the broker. The figures are modelled from each broker's published fees, highlighting how widely costs vary for what is essentially the same trade.

Why now: Traders are comparing broker fee spreads, which can mean hundreds of dollars a year in difference for identical trading volumes.
