What a spread is, and what it costs you

A spread is the gap between the price you can buy at and the price you can sell at, quoted in pips. It is charged the moment a position opens, which is why it is the one cost every trade pays whether it wins or loses.

A spread alone does not say what a trade costs. An account with a 0.0-pip raw spread usually charges commission per lot instead, and an account with a 1.2-pip spread usually charges none. The comparable figure is the round turn - spread plus commission for one lot, in and out - and that is what the tables here rank on.

The ten below are the brokers in Malaysia publishing the tightest EUR/USD spread for a standard account. They are ordered by the figure they publish, not by preference, and a broker that publishes no spread is not on the list at all.

Ten are shown; the button opens the rest.

"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.

— the broker does not publish this figure; it is not read as a zero and it is not scored.

BlackBull Markets publishes a retail leverage of 1:500 without naming the entity that grants it, so the figure is marked group and left out of the leverage ranking and median.

The ten above illustrate the term. Brokers with the lowest spreads in Malaysia lists every broker that qualifies, with the figure each one publishes.

Identical for every row, so it is stated once: Who onboards Local · SC Malaysia · Swap-free fee none, no limit · MYR account Yes.

      How to read the ten below

      1. Start with the figure this page ranks on.

        Every row here is ordered by computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow. A broker that publishes no figure is shown without one rather than guessed at.

      2. Check which company would onboard you.

        The same brand can take a resident of Malaysia through a locally licensed entity or an offshore one, and the leverage cap, the complaint route and the protection all follow the entity, not the brand.

      3. Read the cost beside the deposit.

        The median round turn across this country is 7.0 USD and the median minimum deposit 5.0 USD; a low deposit beside a wide spread takes the difference back on every trade.

      FAQ

      How many brokers qualify for this ranking in Malaysia?
      61 of 83 brokers measured for this country qualify.
      Which broker leads it, and on what basis?
      AMarkets leads it with a score of 4.13. The order is computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow.
      What does a trade typically cost here?
      The median round turn - spread plus commission for one standard lot, in and out - is 7.0 USD across the brokers that publish both parts.
      Why do some rows show a dash instead of a figure?
      Because the broker does not publish that figure for this country. A dash is a statement about what is published, and a figure is never filled in from a group-wide page as if it applied locally.
      Why are only ten brokers shown here?
      This page explains the term; the ten illustrate it. The full ranking lists 61 of 83 and is one click away.

      How this slice is scored

      Slice score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of the six axes; the swap-free fee and availability feed price and reliability. A missing axis drops out and weights are renormalised; group-wide figures never enter. Full methodology

      Risk warning and affiliate disclosure

      CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A swap-free account removes overnight interest, not market risk. We earn a commission on some links; paid rows are marked and never ranked first.
