I know forex trades don't have commissions, but they do have the build in spread, and sometimes other slippage.

Should I plan on giving up 5 points both ways, on the buy and the sell? So my cost per trade is going to be about 10 pips?

Or does the spread work in your favor half time - making the cost only 5 pips total per trade?

I read somewhere that the actual fills somtimes work in your favor.

thx!
