Research notes: Spot FX is not a CFD/MT product: spreads 'as narrow as 1/10 PIP' (no markup) plus commission 0.20 bp of trade value per side (tier 1, <USD 1bn/month), min USD 2.00 per order. Per standard EUR/USD lot (EUR 100k) that is roughly USD 2.3 per side / ~4.6 RT at EUR/USD ~1.16 - depends on rate, so commission_rt_usd left null. Founded year not stated on pages opened ('50 years of innovation'). HQ Greenwich, CT. FX leverage not confirmed. Main regulatory page failed to load; entity list from IBKR UK disclaimers page.
