What are Spreads?

The gap between the sell (ask) and the buy (bid) price of a financial asset

A spread is One of the denominators in CFD and FX trading in regard to costs. The value increases as spread decreases and becomes tighter. A spread is the commission brokers get from each trade. It acts as a replacement for charges and brokerage fees, making the process direct without any intermediate parties’ involvement. Value of the commission decreases when the spread becomes tighter.

FAQs

A spread is how brokers make money from each trade. It’s essentially a commission that replaces brokerage fees and charges. In forex trading, a spread is the difference between the buy price (ask) and the sell price (bid) of a security or forex pair. The difference is usually represented in pips. When trading a position, a spread is the gap or the difference between the short position and the long position.

If you wish to view real, live market rates across our entire product range, you may do this by going to our MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 trading platform.

On our trading platform:
1. go to the Market Watch window area;
2. right-click inside the window area and click ‘Spreads‘; and
3. a new column should appear displaying the real-time spreads for each Forex currency pair, commodity or index market.

Alternatively, compare our real-time rates on the go from your favourite smart devices via the MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 mobile apps.

Essentially, the tighter the spread, the lower the cost of trading. The wider the spread, the higher it costs.

For example, let’s say EURUSD is quoted with a buy price of 1.0984 and a sell price of 1.0983. The spread can be calculated by subtracting 1.0983 from 1.0984 – giving a total spread of 0.0001 or 1 pip.

At Place a Trade, prices are quoted up to 5 decimal points.
