Understanding spreads

The spread represents the cost of trading and reflects the difference between the buying (ask) and selling (bid) prices of an asset. It is a key indicator of market liquidity.

Understanding spreads is crucial for traders, as they directly affect trading costs and profitability.

Identifying suitable spread conditions can help optimise trading strategies and enhance the overall trading performance.

High & low spreads​

High spreads occur when there is a significant difference between ask and bid prices, typically seen in emerging market currency pairs. High spreads usually indicate lower liquidity or increased volatility, especially before major news or political events. In contrast, low spreads, which indicate a narrow difference between ask and bid prices, are preferred by traders as they suggest better liquidity and less volatility, facilitating cost-effective trading during active market sessions.

Market volatility often increases due to news events, creating uncertainty among traders. Economic data releases can shift market sentiment, leading liquidity providers to widen spreads to manage the risks of sudden price changes.
