Alpari spreads: common questions
What is the typical spread on EURUSD at Alpari?
Alpari's typical EURUSD spread is 2.22 pips, measured on a real trading account rather than taken from the broker. Half the readings were tighter than 2.26 pips, and the tightest we have recorded is 1.10 pips. Each spread is weighted by how long it actually held, not by how many quotes were sent.
How wide do Alpari spreads get on EURUSD?
One reading in twenty was worse than 2.35 pips, and the widest we have recorded is 16.1 pips. Spreads widen at the daily rollover and around news, so the worst figure usually comes from a few minutes of the day rather than from normal trading.
What is the spread on gold (XAUUSD) at Alpari?
Alpari's typical gold spread is 40.4 points. Gold is quoted in points, not pips, so this number cannot be compared directly with a currency pair.
How does Wikilix measure Alpari spreads?
We run a real MetaTrader 5 account at Alpari and read every price the broker sends, every 10 minutes, across 10 instruments — 41.9M quotes so far, since 2026-09-01. Each spread is weighted by how long it held. Ten-minute windows less than 95% complete are excluded. We never place a trade.
How fresh are these Alpari spread figures?
They are read every 10 minutes from a real MetaTrader 5 account and this page was last updated at 2026-10-30 13:58 UTC. Nothing here is typed in by hand or supplied by the broker.
Which Alpari account were these spreads measured on?
A STANDARD account on the Alpari-MT5 server. Spreads differ between account types, so a figure from one account type does not describe another.
