Many brokers accounts will initially start you in the B-Book on almost zero spreads until they realise that you might be hanging around for a while, then switch you to the A-Book on the more realistic, wider, STP type spreads. At least with Afterprime you can paramaterise in advance knowing that the costs that you need to factor in to your strategy won't periodically change at the whim of the brokers trading desk.
I have been trapping the comparative equity/balance/swaps, etc data for several months in Grafana timeseries so can see an interesting story. Snapshots in time do not reveal the sporadic shenanigans various brokers employ to add a little periodic duress to their clients floating equity via the means available to them.
Conversely, Afterprime seem to be genuinely focused on keeping their client's accounts alive.

I hope they get the kudos they deserve!
