What is spread?

[Loly 0]

 

 Spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and the ask (buy) price of a particular currency pair. In any trade, the value of the currency pair will need to cross the spread before it becomes profitable.

 In a currency pair with a wider spread, the currency will need to make more movement in order for the trade to be profitable.

 

 This means that trading on a low spread is often a priority for traders, as their trades can become profitable faster, which means they can make a large number of smaller trades, rather than relying on large trades to make money.

There are supposed to be some fundamental differences that are thought of. These spreads include higher liquidity, more volatility and greater leverage, as well as lower commissions and trading costs. 

higher liquidity is exactly what we need in a coin to make profits but the volatility actually depends on the movement of the coin alongside bitcoin fluctuations.

Spread trade The gap in between a short position of one's future contract or currency and the long position in buying.

In terms of buying and selling, our price should be less than buying, that is, we all want to make some profit in the sale.  In that case, if the price is higher then it will be much worse.  Because you buy with 100 rupees but sell 50 rupees it actually becomes a much lower price.  We also need these issues for trading.

Spread good but when there is a change in spread, for traders who have opened positions at the beginning, of course this is not a problem because the effect is not too large, except if you are in a loss position, then the swelling of this spread its very painfull too

Well done . The spread is calculated by the difference between the purchase price and the selling price in points or pip (Pip). In the money market, a pip is usually the last decimal place in the exchange rate.

Spread is needed in the market just to make profits, if there is no spread then you won't get profits

Understanding the role of spreads and how to calculate exchange rates is one of the most important steps for understanding the wide differences between currency pairs in the foreign exchange market, and it is also important to get the best exchange rate to conduct currency exchange or to enter the market by making various deals.

Spread is easy to calculate and it is not confusing, one has to get the best exchange for doing it.

Spreads are calculated by the difference between the purchase price and the selling price in points. On the stock exchange, the spread is the difference between the bid price and the bid price for securities or bonds. The spread can be fixed or variable and proportional to the size of your deal.

The spread is fixed or variable and proportional to the size of your position. When variable, it varies with market volatility. What affects the spread is the liquidity of the currency, trading volume and market conditions.

Spreads may vary depending on market conditions: they are usually higher when the news is published and most brokers cannot guarantee it during the period of that news and the high volatility that accompanies it.

I heard there are two types of fixed and mobile spreads. Do you know which one is better and how it is possible to benefit from the two types, is the fixed difference better or the mobile difference.
