The spread is a portion of the pips that is deducted as trading costs and that is the broker's profit or income so that it can still run its operations properly.

Pay attention to the two lines on the price graph, the distance between them is the spread.
However, for new traders who don't know about spreads, think of it as a fee that must be paid for each trade.

For a beginner, in my opinion, it is better if you use a broker that has a fixed value spread, not a floating spread, this is so that stretchy spreads can be anticipated and do not become an obstacle when we trade, because the spread has a certain value

Regarding this spread, it must be understood from the side of the initial cut, the bid and ask areas that determine how big the spread is.
But actually this spread is not a problem because the spread is also needed for brokers as a condition of cooperation between traders and brokers.

Spread is a difference between the selling price and purchase price where it is an advantage that will be obtained by the broker, so each broker certainly has a different spread value

the spread is the difference between the selling price and the buying price which is a natural thing because this is the profit of the broker, so we can choose a broker based on the spread value later

Spreads are the way brokers benefit from each of our transactions, namely the difference between the price of Jula and buy, and it is commonly happened

We should be careful in choosing a broker and we should choose a low spread broker.

It's very important for me, because I included a scalper trader who just looked a little pip. so the spread is very influential. The smaller the spread then the more profits we can. Like the GBPJPY currency that has a spread of 7 in Insta, just imagine we can only get a 1pp advantage after moving 8 pips, how we disadvantaged, for example, the trader scalper is looking for 20 pips, when the trade in GBPJPY we only get 13 pips if the price Not stretchy. Therefore the broker provides a small spread and the withdrawal of funds is easy then many traders have moved to the broker.

To my knowledge the spread is a difference or the price difference between selling and buying, so if we trade the price between us buy and when we sell it will be different, now that's the spread

as far as I know spread is a comparison of buy and sell that is in each pair of pairs and the value is different, if indeed spreads there is news will usually widen, and do not bias trading when news

The spread is the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of an asset.
the buy price is always higher than the selling price of the asset meaning if you open a position and close it immediately, you will incur a loss that is exactly equal to the spread amount.

spread in my knowledge is the distance between buy and sell that each pair is different distance, usually if there is news it will widen, and that each pair is certainly different conditions
