    IB new forex spreads

    I have been watching EUR/USD for an hour and the spread is 1.5 pips all the time and this is not supposed to be a non busy hour either. I appreciate the 0.5 pip evolution as a concept, because the reality is disappointing. The market makers used it against us. But I still think some things...

    New IB Features
