From my experience trading with MasterLink Securities, I’ve observed that the typical spread for the EUR/USD pair on a standard account starts at 1.5 pips. This figure aligns with what’s clearly described in their account offerings for the standard tier. While 1.5 pips for a major pair like EUR/USD is competitive among some regulated brokers, it isn’t the lowest available in the industry. For me, the most important factors beyond just the spread have always been overall trading costs, execution quality, and regulatory oversight. MasterLink’s standard accounts do not charge commissions, which means the spread is the total cost per trade. In my own trading, I factor this in when comparing to brokers offering raw spreads plus commissions. It’s also vital for me that MasterLink Securities is regulated in Taiwan by the Taipei Exchange, and this lends a certain degree of confidence when it comes to the reliability of their trading conditions. Nevertheless, I always suggest traders weigh the spread cost against their specific trading strategies; for example, frequent scalpers may find 1.5 pips a bit steep, but for swing traders, the difference may be negligible. Personally, I prioritize transparency and a regulated environment, which MasterLink does offer, but I recommend reviewing your own trading style to see if this spread structure fits.
