Most brokers have spreads between 4-7 pips depending on the broker, currency and account size, though 5 pips about average.
You only pay the spread once; open opening the contract you're automatically down the spread and you don't have to pay another spread once you close it. There are some brokers that do charge 10 pips, which is ridiculous considering you could get it far cheaper.
However, I noticed that in addition to spreads, slippage is often more important cause there are some instances where my stops didn't trigger with some brokers.
