if a trader chooses a broker to consider the spread, usually the spread will have an effect and be considered in his trading, but if the trader does not consider it, the spread usually has no effect.

Hy aizafx how are u?
In a low spread sideways condition gives greater risk, because the burden of loss is borne by the spread and the market is not moving.
It is also true that volume is very influential because if the market does not change, regardless of the spread, it will be difficult to make a profit.

For this matter, knowing the market trend volatility also as important, so a a trader can avoid in such condition that in low profitability, but indeed not easy to determine right time when the trend in high volatile, some opinion London session has better movement

In Forex trading lowest spreads is a big deal when choosing a broker. From all trading elements in this market place spreads is mainly considered as an important financial tool which an investor should consider when choosing a broker. Lowest trading spreads is very much supportive to make profit with certainly by using any kinds of trading strategies in particularly the scalping that brings profit in a short time.

for me spread has less effect on my trading results because I pay less attention to it and also I rarely trade in crowded markets that make spreads wider.

Spread is the cost of the range market that we have to pay, a high spread means that our profit will be reduced a lot.
spreads affect trading results but are limited to costs.

for me the spread can be said to be important but at this time the spread that circulates on the broker is already small, that is average below 3 pips so it has no problem, actually the amount of spread does affect the scalper, indeed the scalper will not make us consistent, so more both daily or supyan swing can achieve profit consistency

Yes, Spread is important and useful, there are so many spread that offered by brokers, 3 pips, 2 pips even 1 pips. But what if you can trading Forex with 0 spread?? So you will not stress about spread anymore like me now. Now I am join FreshForex as my broker and use 0 spread account. It is really 0 spread, no spread anymore, you will get the best price when you make your trading activity. Just join FreshForex now and start your 0 spread account.

in choosing a broker I pay less attention to the related spread so it can be said in trading that I am not affected by the size of the spread because I trade with the medium to long term style.

Spread indeed as matter for the trader, lowest spread cost at any broker will more preferable, but not only about the spread, the quality trading server also become consideration, in trading choose low spread like as EURUSD is very popular, but also trading will make good trading result if choose pair with high volatility and strong trend

I prefer looking for brokers with relatively small spreads because spreads are more or less influential on my trading especially in my scalping style where low spreads are very important and determine my profit probability.

for trading style like me, spread doesn't seem to have enough influence, maybe if a trader feels spread is influential then he can find a broker that offers zero spread.

at first I was more looking for brokers that provide low spreads but over time it turned out that in addition to looking for unconditional low spreads on a broker it is also difficult spreads are basically a cost that we have calculated and relieved.

existing spreads in forex and brokers have set it should not be used as an obstacle, make the spread as a trading fee that we have previously relinquished so that the spread does not affect our trading.

Spreads will cut profits, large or small spread affects the trading results, which is why many traders like low spreads.

if the spread is indeed quite disturbing in gaining profit or in applying strategy then it can use an ECN account which is usually zero spread but it's actually the same because the account applies a trading commission in every transaction.
