Which forex broker offers the best spread?

It is a very complex question and involves very much of an indepth analysis of what kind of a trader you are : long term trader ( position trading ), carry trade investor, swing or intraday, as well as the initial amount you are working with as your investment capital. There are some brokers that will offer a great fixed spread during news releases ( this would be totally the once that i would stick with if i were an intraday trader), some of the tighter spreads are offered by Oanda Corporation. Some of the brokers with the smallest fixed spreads require a substantial initial deposit on your behalf in order for you to enjoy those low spreads. Dukaskopy is one of those brokers. And , keep in mind, it is not only just about the "spread", but more importantly , you need to find out :
1) is the spread fixed ( meaning the same at all times ) ?
2) is the execution excellent ( the broker fills you momentarily no matter how fast the market is) or do they requote you to death?
Trade what you see, not what you think!
