We analyze the combined spread and commission cost averaged over time. The table above displays combined spread and commission costs sampled from live accounts using our spread analyzer tool. To compare AvaTrade to other brokers or symbols than the ones shown, click the orange edit button and select new brokers or symbols.

The spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an asset. Commission is also charged on top of the spread on some account types and constitutes an additional transaction cost.
