Spreads from 0.0 pips
Spreads from 0.0 pips refer to a broker’s ability to price a product with a spread of 0.0 pips. This can normally only be done when a number of conditions are met, including an aggregated or ‘ECN’ price feed (see ECN page) and no spread floor in place i.e. no minimum spread.
The term was first used in 2012 at about the same time that (news) ‘tick scalper’ automated trading systems were giving brokers headaches. Markets Invest and a number of other brokers used the term ‘Spreads from 0.0 pips’ to help distinguish themselves from brokers who have spread floors/minimums and put restrictions on trading. Nowadays most brokers feature this term or ‘ECN’ in their advertising but they will have restrictions on trading due to their B-book model. In contrast to this, Markets Invest has spread from 0.0 pips with no restrictions and operates an ECN/STP model with no B-book. We prove this with trade receipts rather than fancy marketing terms.
We offer variable spreads only
As an ECN forex broker, Markets Invest passes on the prices it receives from its liquidity providers to traders. This means our spreads are variable and fluctuate in line with market liquidity and volatility.
Our variable ECN spreads come from up to 20 different liquidity providers consisting of tier-1 banks, non-bank market makers, and ECNs. This gives traders access to the tightest prices available, reducing their trading fees.
Don’t trust brokers with fixed spreads as these will usually come with strict trading restrictions, slower execution times, increased rejections (especially during fast markets and volatility), and higher spread costs. These restrictions can prevent you from making money.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Spread is the difference between the market bid and ask price on a security for an immediate order.
The spread is represented by the bid and offer quotes and can be perceived as a measure of liquidity in the market.
Generally speaking, tight spreads are indicative of high liquidity whereas wide spreads are an indicator of scarce liquidity.
The bid price represents the maximum price that a buyer is willing to pay for a security and the ask price represents the minimum price that a seller is willing to take for the security.
Variable spreads deliver the best bid and offer prices available at a certain time as opposed to having the spreads fixed at a certain level.
