Anyone trading this pair? Some bucketshops are offering 1.5 pip spread for this. :eek:

Kind of choppy but trends not bad from time to time.

3 pips is huge and you are making it very difficult for yourself to succeed. If you think the rate is approximately half the euro dollar rate or a third the cable then your equivalent spreads are 6 pips and 9 pips respectively. Would you think you would make money on a 9 pip cable price?

thank you guys for your advice, i'm long term trader so 1 or two points do not make a great deal for me,

Cheers, Liri

which one moves more? EUR/USD or EUR/GBP?

Like GBP/USD moves much more than EUR/USD (both in ranges and trends).
