Exotics
USDZAR Live Spread Comparison
USDZAR is an exotic pair with thin liquidity outside its home session, and spreads that can widen dramatically around rollover. If your strategy touches USDZAR, comparing brokers per session is essential: the ranking that holds during London hours frequently flips overnight.
