What is spread?

[Laidar]

Well, of course, what kind of nonsense will depend on how you trade, which is why I believe that Amarkets has the most optimal one, which starts from 0.2 points.

[gds221]

I consider this a kind of commission, because the amount of spread among brokers is different.

[Laidar]

You can call it whatever you like, but the essence remains correct, that is, certain earnings of the broker.

[gds221]

In fact, the main thing to know about the spread is that it should be minimal. For example, I work with a broker Amarkets and there the spread size is from 0.2.

broker earns only markup and commission. Spreads (bid-ask difference is charged by market makers) it's their tool to control flow of sell and buy orders (to some extent).

[gds221]

Spread is the broker's commission for his services, in fact.

I want to add that it is important that the size of the spreads is small. So, I work with the broker ExpertOption, and their spreads are quite pleased.

[Cordawield]

The size of the spread will influence the trade. And I think that Amarkets offers a spread of 0.2 pips and this is beneficial for me

[gds221]

Spread is the broker's commission for services. It is worth choosing a broker with a minimum spread value.

[Upoctin]

The lowest spread is usually peculiar to the most popular instruments Floating changes in this type of spread regularly and completely depend on the situation on the market at the moment. This spread is not profitable in some strategies, and it can as well significantly hamper their testing., trading spread is a very important issue.

Yes spread is a kind of transaction fee you pay to market maker for liquidity (ability to open and close positions very quickly). I have very low spreads at Hotforex guess they use several liquidity providers which compete between each other to offer better conditions. 

[gds221]

As mentioned earlier, the main thing is the minimum size of the spread.

[jamante]

spreads are a good factor in choosing a broker, but over all the broker should be well balanced and offer good services

[gds221]

Spread is a very important aspect for choosing a broker. In my opinion, this is really important to pay attention to.

[Vaabum]

So many versions have written here that I even had doubts)))

[gds221]

The most interesting thing is that there are many thoughts that diverge))

The spread for each currency pair is different. The size of the spread is set by the Forex broker. We can say that this is a commission that a trader pays for opening a buy and sell position.

[gds221]

For me, the main thing is the smallest spread size.

[Vudorg]

Many have already written the value, and what is the spread, and most importantly, you need to understand what to choose a broker where you will find the minimum points for yourself.

[gds221]

Well, as already mentioned above, the main thing is that the person who chooses the broker understands what a spread is and what effect it brings.

[Guerrero]

In forex, trading spreads is the difference between the buy price and the selling price quoted.

[gds221]

As they have written more than once, the spread is the broker's commission for work.

[Vaabum]

The most interesting thing is that everyone has long been embarrassed that there is something, but the topic is still alive))

[gds221]

The most interesting thing is that, in fact, many have different answers, although the question is the same.

[Paul12]

A spread is a space between the selling price and buys the price of a currency pair. It can be limited or broader, depending on the currency involved.
