AW: Any good recommendations for a Forex Broker????

0.2 PIP on each side sounds like a lot to me? Does that mean if I can buy
the Euro at 1.1780 I would pay 1.1782? The same on the way back and that on
top of the normal spread? Too much...

How about Interactive Brokers?

What really bothers me about forex brokers is that they all
artificially inflate their forex spreads, in effect creating an
unreasonably high commission for themselves.  Interactive Brokers,
on the other hand, quotes the BEST bid/offer from multiple large
banks and charges a separate 0.2 PIP commission on EUR/USD.  To me,
that's much more reasonable.  You're seeing the true spread and you
pay a smaller commission.
