Zero spread

[1hardwork]

Hi,

I've been trading the GBP/USD pair for over a decade now using a CMC account. It's all going well but really need to find a platform that offers zero spreads. If anyone can point me in the right direction i'd be very gratfull.

How will the platform provider make money if they offer you zero spread.?

They have to be stiffing you on the price or making money on the spread, no such thing as a free lunch

I've seen a guy trade a futures account and there was no spread. There was a cost for each contract which would be far more suitble for my stratergy. CMC has a spread of around 1pip on GBP/USD but somtimes that spread leaps to 1.6 or even above 2.

Zero spread and then get hammered with poor executions and slippage.

Probably client losses.

DA may see this and reply as be knows this area inside out.

Not a recommendation but Interactive Brokers have 0.1 spread + commission, might be worth a look. As others have said zero spread usually means they get it back elsewhere.
