This hub collects QuantKit’s broker work in one place: a cost study and a ledger of what one EUR/USD round turn costs at six brokers. It is written by Timoranjes. The ledger is re-checked monthly, and articles are added when they are published. Every figure shows its source, its date and its arithmetic.

The study explains how the costs are measured and what the numbers leave out.
Six brokers compared on what a standard lot actually costs: Pepperstone, FP Markets, IC Markets, Fusion Markets, Tickmill and RoboForex. Spreads, commission, regulation and platforms, with the trade-offs left in.
Nine account rows at six brokers, each with an evidence grade, a source and an access date. The two lowest all-in figures are below; the full ledger has the rest and a CSV download.
| Broker and account | Avg spread (pips) | Commission (round turn) | All-in per lot | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RoboForexECN · MT4/MT5 | 0.1 | ≈$4.34 | ≈$5.34 | B |
| Fusion MarketsZero · MT4/MT5 | 0.1 | $4.50 | $5.50 | B |
EUR/USD, one standard lot, round turn, USD, as of 15 Oct 2026. All-in = average spread (pips) × $10 + round-turn commission. The order is the arithmetic, not advice. Grade B means broker-published and archived.
The flagship study: six brokers, one standard lot, every figure sourced and dated.
All nine graded rows as one table, with a CSV download.
Each figure is the broker’s published spread and commission, or a named third-party test, put through the same formula. A grade says how a figure can be checked. It does not say whether a broker suits you.
The grading rules, the formula’s limits and the archive rule are in the methodology. Mistakes are listed in the corrections log.
