Again, thanks!
Yeah, it seems like a lot until we realize that the pip cost is about 8 times cheaper than the average pip cost. hehe! That makes a huge difference.

Plus, this one will cover TONS of pips more than most pairs out there.

I always look at the spread in light of the potential move that the pair typically does. In other words, what's my cost relative to what the pair could move/profit on.

Also, you'll find that the spread is far less in the U.S. session because it has more "dollar volume" then and helps to narrow that spread quite a bit too.
