Hi everyone,I see a post on here from a guy looking for lowest spreads and high bonus for signing up for a live account.The fact is that low currency spreads just means that the broker will catch you some other way,slow to close positions,freezing,slippage ,routing orders to dark pools,always question your provider how they can give such low spreads.

Quality Brokers establish business relationships with Top Tier Banks and also use ECN aggregates. Ask your broker what Bank they use for margin trading - Here is a good list - https://redrhinofx.com/forex-liquidity-and-top-tier-banks/

It is the other way around. Broker with low spreads allows you to stay profitable while broker with bonuses usually cancel these when they could cassette most harm

Hedging is very risky if you don't have enough knowledge about it.

I agree with you.

Spread means there is a difference between the bid and the ask price.

Spread is a fixed charge for each trade. Sometimes it is more / less. The spread facility of the broker creates an opportunity for the trader to trade.

Spreads are far more important to the traders than the broker since it is the cost that they have to bear to do trade with the broker.

this is all correct, only each broker has its own conditions on this matter

Exactly, the condition of the broker is different but from whose point of view, he is correct.

I know a lot of new traders set out looking for a broker with a high deposit bonus or other type of promotion going on, but I've found that these are often there to distract you from other terms offered by the broker or terms & conditions surrounding the promotion make it difficult if not impossible to withdraw. In many cases, the brokers that don't offer this can be better. For example, if I decide to open an account with a broker primarily because they offer a $30 deposit bonus, but they have a $7+ withdrawal fee, high spreads, high commissions, and hidden charges (like inactivity fees), then I would have been better signing up with the broker that has no bonus but also doesn't charge for withdrawals, with low pricing and no hidden charges. The charges with the first broker will add up quickly and exceed the bonus in no-time.

You have to select a broker that provides all the services correctly from platform spread to withdrawal. Supporting a broker always provides benefits to a trader. All in all, the broker's service will be honest and trustworthy.

I can say that I’m absolutely indifferent to spreads. Scalpers put much value on spreads because it’s very crucial for their trading style. I choose long-term trading where spreads don’t matter. I like long-term trading. With this preference I can trade with any broker, if it’s genuine, of course, while scalpers don’t have such freedom of choice because they have to take into account spreads first.
