Lower Transaction Costs

Lower Transaction Costs

It is much more cost-efficient to trade Forex in terms of both commissions and transaction fees. Most Forex Brokers charge no commissions or fees whatsoever, while still offering traders access to all relevant market information and trading tools. In contrast, commissions for stock trades range from $7.95-$29.95 per trade with online discount brokers up to $100 or more per trade with full service brokers.
Another important point to consider is the width of the bid/ask spread. Regardless of deal size, Forex dealing spreads are normally 5 pips or less (a pip is .0005 US cents). In general, the width of the spread in a Forex transaction is less than 1/10 that of a stock transaction, which could include a .125 (1/8) wide spread.
