Criteria to Consider Low Spread Broker is as follows:

1. Spread
2. Commission
3. Swap

If there is any account that has a commission fee, we will add it to the spread, for example, Exness’s Raw Spread account has a commission fee of 7 USD / lot (round trip), where the assumed account spread is equal to 0. Will be combined, the spread will be equal to 7.

Note:

The term Spread is considered to be the most important factor when choosing a broker because of spread only we can analyze the cost of the broker. Along with that commission and swap are other two important factors to keep in mind, Our research is particularly done on the basis of the data we have collected while doing trading with that broker that is from Monday to Friday. The calculations might differ for other websites as the spread changes at every moment.

What is Spread?

Explanation of Spread:

Spread in Forex is termed to be the difference between the bid and ask value. In Forex Trading the term which decides the profit and loss we will have is spread, the lowest the spread higher the profit, and the higher the spread lowest the profit. It can be seen in the MT4 platform as follows:

Where to check spread values

As per the above image the column with the name of “!” shows the spread of that particular currency. If you look more into it you will be able to deduce that it indeed is the difference between bid and ask values. Spread value matter most to all the traders out there and it is more beneficial for those who play short- held bids.

Spread is different for different brokers at the same time even it is not same for different account types as well. For example let’s have a look at the spread value for exness two account pro and raw spread at same time for USDJPY.

Raw and pro account type spread difference

As per the above image you can see that there is a huge difference in the spread of same broker with different account types. This simply means that the spread of different account are different. This quantity changes ever second.

Understanding high spread and low spread:

There is the time period when the spread is highest and lowest of all, so these time periods are necessary to remember, reason for such a thing to happen is the volatility or liquidity that this market holds.

When doing trading, you might notice that the spread of every currency is different in that there would be some currency pairs that have low spread. On the other hand, there will be some currencies that hold high spread values. The currency which has the lowest spread is known as major currency meaning it is the currency in which most people trade-in that’s why it has higher volume and lower spread.

Additionally, one should know that the liquidity of any currency can dry up, and the spread may widen at certain points majorly when there is some news that can end up changing the direction of the currency strength.

High Spread:

The spread is highest if there is a huge difference between the bid and ask price which certainly will lead to a high spread. This happens when the currency has high volatility and low liquidity.

Low Spread:

Spread is lowest if the difference between the bid and ask price is minimum. This happens when the volatility is low and liquidity is high.

TIP:

When the market opens every Monday, it is suggested to not open trades or you may suffer a huge loss because the spread is highest at that time.

Conclusion:

Overall, only considering a broker on the basis of the spread is wrong, because there are certainly other factors that we have to keep in mind while choosing a broker. Yes, these are also important but that doesn’t mean that the other factors are not important. So, the right way to choose a broker is to consider all the points last and then decide which broker will perfectly fit you are per your requirements. My judgment of the brokers is as per my experience whereas, you can have a different opinion.
