Trade with competitive spreads

Whatever financial market you choose to trade in, you will always need to consider your costs and the price difference between purchasing or selling an underlying asset, also known as the spread. Traders who trade equities will also be familiar with the Bid: Ask spread. The higher the spread, the higher your costs and vice versa.

T4Trade offers both fixed and floating spreads. Whether you are a beginner or a professional trader, you can choose the right spread account for you and explore opportunities with our superb conditions.

Fixed and Floating Spreads

There are two kinds of spreads: fixed and floating or flexible. The first are predetermined and are not impacted by market conditions. The latter are flexible and can fluctuate unexpectedly depending on market volatility. Flexible spreads can go high or low, subject to market news and events and as such they can offer opportunities or lead to higher costs.

Fixed spreads

Fixed spreads do not change over time and allow you to determine the cost of your trading position beforehand. They are stable and pricing is clear from the start. Their cost is usually higher than variable or floating ones.

Floating spreads

Floating spreads are usually cheaper, but because they fluctuate so rapidly they are better suited for traders who hold long-term positions. During times when spreads widen, you can protect yourself by limiting the amount of leverage or holding onto a trade until the spread has narrowed. It is up to you to determine which spread type suits you best.

High and low spreads

News are one of the main causes of market uncertainty and volatility. Macroeconomic data released on the economic calendar can also impact market conditions, as they can exceed expectations and market consensus or disappoint, creating unexpected volatility. Liquidity providers, like traders themselves, cannot forecast volatility and they try to offset some of their risk by widening spreads.

High spread

When there is a large difference between the bid and the ask price, then the spread is considered to be high. Major currency pairs usually have low spreads, whereas emerging market currency pairs generally have a high spread. Higher than normal spreads are the result of high volatility or low liquidity. Before crucial news or during important political events such as the US elections, spreads can widen considerably.

Low spread

When there is a small difference between the bid and the ask price, then we consider the spread to be low. Traders prefer to trade with low spreads usually during the major forex sessions. A low spread means that there is low volatility and high liquidity.
