Really need your guys help… I am keen to fxcm trading station platform but unfortunately I checked with fxcm they do not provide a zero spread or fixed spread market . Any recommendation or advise on zero spread broker or fixed spread broker? Tq

I mentioned on another thread that some will offer raw spread which while not fixed is often very low. The key factor is looking at the balance of spreads and commissions. Normally a fixed or variable low spread broker will charge more in commission and vice versa. They have to make money from these methods so one will normally offset the other. Try and find a balance of the two.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

There are brokers that offer zero fixed spreads, though commissions might be high. But you can also go for a variable spread broker like turnkeyforex which has quite low spreads, specially on majors and commissions are also low. So your overall trading cost will be low.

Any specific reason for a fixed spread broker?
I found variable ones more appropriate as in volatile sessions I easily get spread close to 0.3 pips on both fxview and IC Markets. I don't know much about fixed spread brokers but heard that slippage is the main issue. How do you check if the price you are looking for is true or not I mean in respect to interbank rates? Also, aren't commissions too high with such?

But in that case I think fixed spread is much better.LukeRachel posted:Well, here you are right, although scammers may have different options in terms of conditions, I’m working with a fixed spread on the platform from Amarkets, and everything is cleared up, what broker do you have?
The main income of a spread broker is that it will never make any broker free. Spread charges may be lower but Zero Spread is not provided by any broker.

I don’t think any broker actually provides you with zero spread, surely not fixed spread ones. But yes, there are many of them that offer a spread that is near to zero. I trade with finprotrading and have got spreads as low as 0.2 pips with them.
