trading forex between 5am to 9pm

[breadman]

Hello,

I am looking to trade forex (gbp/usd) between the hours of 5 am to 9 pm, where is the best place to get prices with the smallest spreads. I only want to trade intra-day so that their are no extra costs ie interest on positions held overnight. spread betting companies have spreads of 3 to 5 pips, I would prefer if the spread was only 1 to 2 pips. Does anyone know of a company offering this service.

Thanks,

Breadman

Hello Breadman.

The times you have quoted are the best to trade in my opinion.
Trading Forex futures will give you the desired spread of 1-2 pips. You may want to speak to Johnny T about that as he trades futures on a regular basis.
If you want to trade spot then i would recommend http://www.ac-markets.com/ .
They have 3 pip spread on all majors.

Happy Trading
Faris..

Yikes with the thread necromancy.

Also, if you're doing intraday, ECN (so, not Oanda) is your ideal solution. I use Interactive Brokers; you can get spreads down to 0.5 pips at times, and can trade inside the spread, but you do pay (a small) commission per trade. Costs me about £4/$8 to do a roundturn of 100,000 GBP/USD, for example.
