pepy Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Fixed or Floating is does not even matter, especially in trading because if you can make profit no one will subject you even actually fixed has higher rate for something like that coming true. Fixed broker as long as regulated well isn't a big deal, the key is don't trade in bigger amount and also less trading is better, admin want to earn also so one or two losses still fine.

myregister Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It is a big matter but shouldn't be overrated. There are some good fixed one i know and you can trade withat but with higher risk for it. I prefer floating because they are really represent the market, those brokers really want to see you make profit not you lose your money.

pepy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I mean not overrated but it is not a big matter in what you think about. I mean that there are fix spread broker that is fine to use as long as well regulated. One of the example is FXCM that has fixed spread account where broker for sure against you not like floating spreads account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 But we are back to the fundamental of this issue that Fixed is DD broker while Floating one is NDD broker. What do you think about that? Those are different things the first which is DD is playing with you and want you to lose, while the second which is NDD is really broker that doesn't care if you actuall win or loss but would prefer if you win because it means more probability that you will trade again later.

NDD brokers is really good rather than DD broker, but once again this is all about the way you trade, there is a trader that can make profit even though they trade in DD broker(which well regulated not bucketshop one). As long as you know how to play you will be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 @sidejob: NDD for sure is better rather than DD broker, and according to the experience i got so far NDD will route your order to the real market and you will be matched by the real price not just made price that will make your broker loss all of their money. This one of the reason i choose NDD broker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepy Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 NDD is better than DD broker but not always. I mean there are few or rare DD that still good. FXCM for example well what i want to say is there that make sure yo search for the well regulated broker even DD broker still offer a good deal for you, but for overall NDD still the best.

aliforex Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Fixed or floating, the most important is we understand about forex trading itself. And surely, spread is not to high and we can keep comfortable when trading. Every broker has own advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaban Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I prefer to trade using floating spread than the fixed spread. The advantages trading with floating spread are eksukusi fast and no requotes. This is very profitable for the trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 In fixed sometimes you will get no requote too and the price is competitive even some broker offers fixed spread and lower, but remember i still don't choose it because it is a place that simulated by broker and if you win broker lose their money. If you are risk taker, then fixed maybe for you for me floating spread is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle gober Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 under normal market conditions a floating spread will always be more beneficial, however during news a fixed spread will be more beneficial as the floating spread can and does increase to perhaps 10x what the fixed spread represents (due to liquidity of the chosen market) it all comes down to what you trade, when you trade it, and the approach you use. Now I am using ECN type account on TICKMILL who provide a great benefit for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Fixed account is best for someone who can bear the pain of trade in dealing desk market where you must fight against your own broker, while floating spread for someone who want to trade in the real market because floating spread broker offering a dynamic and reflecting the price movement thus make the spread dynamic too.

Stekin Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Still choosing floating spreads rather than fixed spread account, first because fixed spread does not make much sense second mostly or even all of fixed spread account supported by dealin desk broker, and that means we are trading against the broker which means there are conflict of interest.Maybe from your experience. Until this time, I still make use of fixed spread and right now, it is also something that I prefer trading with and my broker is NDD. I think that some of this dealing desk brokers who are offering this are using it to trap some traders and cheat them. That is the reason why it is why it is good thing for the trader to first know how the broker operates in other not to get trapped in it.

myregister Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 can you tell me why NDD has fixed spread? The market is changing the price is changing so do the spread, especially to anticipate high volatility. Also big broker such as FXCM said that they have special fixed spread account which is DD and floating spread for NDD account. Not to mention there are a lot of certified broker such as FXDD also has floating spreads and many others such as Dukascopy or Interactive Brokers.

gaban Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I prefer to trade with floating spreads it will allow us to avoid requotes. I think a lot of benefits that can be gained by using a floating spread trading, but need to be careful too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stekin Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Its floating spread that is most preferred. Well, it is a matter of choice too because when a particular trader prefers to have a fixed or floating spread, then it is a matter of having a broker with such arrangements. In all of it, having a tighter spread is more economical to the scalper who is sure that he or she is not going to waste all of his or her profit in paying for spread.

pepy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I advise scalper to look for fixed spread account usually it offers low spread and fixed for sure so you don't have to worry checking one or two things from your spread. However, i prefer floating spread account because mostly or if not all brokers who do that are non dealing desk and you don't have to against your broker.

myregister Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 For scalpers they can try NDD account which is actually to me more "honest" compared to DD broker, and also no one that feel lose if other make profit. Fixed spread does not mean that you can get what you want, it is just abstraction that you are against the broker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar-profits Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think Fixed account is best for someone who can bear the pain of trade in dealing desk market where you must fight against your own broker, while floating spread for someone who want to trade in the real market because floating spread broker offering a dynamic and reflecting the price movement thus make the spread dynamic too.

radex78 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I like with fixed spread than floating spread, because will easily to manage the risk in my trades, will annoying if likely after open new entries then look big floating loss because we use floating spread, for scalping trader also I think they will prefer use fixed spread than floating spread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Fixed account usually a dealing desk broker, and through our logic, how can it be the spread stay still while the market itself is volatile and always give the different price if not each minutes , then each seconds. Floating spread account is more make sense since it offers dynamic spread depend on the market if that is too volatile then it is high but if that is normal the spread could even lower than what fixed spread account did.

radex78 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 So far nnot yet found any problem with sread fee in my broker, still run smoothly and run as general spread, I like with trading on pair that has good average movement like as eurusd, eurjpy, gbpjpy, although usually cross pair has bigger spread,but average movement included in good movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Fixed spread account is a nice account in theory, you will be able to get no fees or the same exact fees for each transaction, wouldn't it be so much wonderful? Yes, but fixed fees isn't make a sense in volatile market, where the price is moving and so do spread to offset the market movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know certain trader they said if fixed spread is for broker dealing desk, which our order still holding in broker and not throw in the market directly, but so far stil enjoy using fixed spread and as long as every withdraw still processed smoothly hence still bellieve with these broker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
