The areas where LHFX offers a clear advantage over BlackBull Markets.
$3 per side matches BlackBull's ECN Prime account, but LHFX gets you there with a $10 deposit instead of needing $20,000 for Institutional pricing.
Both brokers advertise low minimums, but LHFX publishes a flat $10 entry on a single account type. BlackBull's $0 ECN Standard ships with an 0.8 pip EURUSD spread baked in, so the true cost is higher.
