Head-to-head: which raw account wins London EURUSD this quarter?
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2026 3:50 pm
Head-to-head raw accounts on London EURUSD is a quarterly cost race, not a brand loyalty test.
I run the same hours, similar size, and I compare all-in cost plus reject behaviour. One account can win January and lose March if the open behaviour drifts. The winner is whichever clears my filter more often with less drama — not whichever logo I prefer.
Race rules
1. Identical session windows.
2. Enough fills to talk about medians.
3. News minutes parked separately.
If the race is close, I keep both with clear roles. If one is consistently worse, capital moves without a farewell essay.
What metrics decide your London EURUSD raw-account winner each quarter — spread only, or rejects and reliability too?
I keep the quarterly winner note only in the scorecard. Public crowing about brokers helps no one and ages badly when next quarter flips. Quiet capital moves are enough.
Rejects and weekend maintenance notes can break a tie when spreads look similar. Reliability is part of cost.
I revisit this on the Sunday review with costs in the same pass as entries. Process without cost is half a conversation, and cost without process is just a spreadsheet hobby.
