IC Markets vs Eightcap on EURUSD: cost and fill notes

IC Markets vs Eightcap on EURUSD: cost and fill notes.

Another pair-wise cost thread for people who actually log. I look at London open median spread, commission to points, slippage distribution (not averages only), and reject counts on market vs limit. EURUSD is liquid enough that differences can be small -- which means sample size matters and narrative does not.

I also note platform feel (MT5/cTrader) because a slower cancel costs money even if the spread looks fine.

Share numbers if you have them; skip slogans. What does your last month of EURUSD clicks say?

If differences are within noise, stay put -- switching tax is real. Obsessing over a tenth of a point while process leaks whole R is common. Use comparison to catch outliers and stress weeks, not to feed perpetual FOMO about venues.

I am interested in how others on this desk handle the same problem without turning it into folklore. Concrete rules and log fields beat slogans. If you have a version of "IC Markets vs Eightcap on EURUSD: cost and fill notes" that survived contact with live sessions, what does the rule look like on a sticky note -- and what did you try that failed?
