I’ve seen FBS promoting tight spreads, but some traders say the real costs are higher. Has anyone used GlobeGain’s community reports or spread comparison tools to track their actual spreads during different sessions? How much do cashback rebates actually offset slippage or hidden fees? Looking for methods that go beyond broker marketing claims.
Check the spread history tool. Shows real averages.
Rebates cover half the gap.
Pull 30 days of FBS EUR/USD data from the platform’s analyzer during your trading hours. Advertised 0.8 pips averaged 1.2 during London open. Rebates recovered 0.3 pips. Use the ‘net cost’ view to filter outliers. Always cross-check with live account statements.
I compared their spreads over a month using the historical tool. During news events, spreads spiked to 2 pips but rebates softened the blow. Recommend setting custom filters for your most traded pairs.
Tracked FBS’s GBP/USD for two weeks. Spreads averaged 1.1 pips with 0.4 pips rebated. During Fed announcements, spreads hit 3 pips but rebates doubled temporarily. Adjusted my trading schedule based on the data.
