Exclusive Capital has impressed me with their surprisingly deep liquidity. I started with a real $1,000 account and dove right in. EUR/USD (EU): Opened a 3-lot position with zero slippage on entry and exit. USD/JPY (UJ): Opened a 3-lot position with minimal slippage (0.1 pip) on entry and none on the take profit. Gold: Since pip calculations for gold can vary, I'll focus on dollar amounts for slippage. A 0.5-lot position had no slippage, while a 1-lot position had a mere $0.01 slippage. Both positions hit the stop-loss simultaneously with $0.02 slippage each. The incredibly tight spreads and low trading costs make them one of the most affordable brokers I've encountered.
