For your information, a ‘spread’ is the small cost built into the buy (bid) and sell (ask) price of every currency pair trade. It is also known as ‘markup’ and can also be explained as the cost of trading. The benefit of trading on the foreign exchange is that spread costs are generally very low but it’s always good to shop around to find the lowest spreads.
Our forex trading platform is able to provide competitive spreads thanks to our network of tier-one prime brokers and liquidity providers; global banks and financial institutions. These trusted sources give us access to a wider pool of liquidity. As a result, we can pass low spreads to our clients.
