Hi! Until now I only traded stocks and Index Futures. I am lookin into developing a strategy for FX. The big question behind my backtests is the bid/ask spread for certain pairs. Does anyone have statistics about spreads that he can post here? I am interested in the pairs EUR_JPY CHF_JPY EUR_USD GBP_JPY GBP_USD AUD_JPY USD_CHF I know that this can heaviliy depend on the platform one is using. Maybe there is someone using EBS and can post his numbers? Thanks for your help! dansmo
