for me spread I consider as a normal thing and it has become a ration of brokers for profit has facilitated us various features and tools for online forex trading so spread has no effect on my trading.

Spread does not have much effect on the results, if it is trading for a relatively long timeframe, with a sufficiently large target.
Wide spreads will have an effect on trading earnings in a fast time and take thin targets, scalper traders.

Spread included as one thing as consideration for the trader, the high spread will need more price movement to cover spread cost before getting in profit, the low spread will become a good choice for the trader because like as buy goods, cheap will need the smallest money to spend, but in forex, there is a broker with fixed spread and variable spread.

The spread makes the price feel more expensive, because you have to pay the spread first.
But that is indeed a form of cooperation between traders and brokers.
Certain traders consider the smaller spreads.

spread for me does not really affect our trading results so I rarely pay attention to spreads, but when I choose a broker, I consider the spread.

A little spread will not affect the trading results, but if the spread is too wide it will definitely cut the profit generated.
Low spreads are usually on the EUR / USD pair, if you trade with this pair, the profit can be maximized with a few cuts.

Spreads are influential, I have a hard time getting profit if they are high. sometimes I scalp, if the spread is high the trading results are very small

In my opinion, the spread is quite influential, but for traders who apply a short-term or scalping style, it doesn't seem like it is long.

I don't really pay attention to spreads, but the important thing is that the spread does not exceed 3, it is normal, for strategy and spreads, in my opinion, they don't interfere, so they don't affect trading results.

spread is the right of the broker and is an advantage for the broker so we have agreed with that so don't make the spread an influence in the trading we do.

I think the spread does not affect your income, it is only an advantage for the broker, however if you use scalping you may get not too much profit

The risk of scalping techniques is the broker cut or spread, because scalping opens and closes many trades.
if you want to do scalping, you should have a broker who has low spreads and that specifically allows scalping

Whether or not it is affected based on the trading method, trading with the sort system will drain the profit which is cut by the spread.
However for me the spread didn't really matter because my trading method was relaxed with a long weekly target and only opened a few trades.

Low spreads will not be felt on the trading results, just try it if the spreads are large, making you lazy to trade on large spread pairs.
Recommend choosing a low spread broker and pairs with low spreads too, it will definitely help for bigger trading results.

if we are already professional traders, we will not think about the spread because our profit is much greater than the spread provided by the broker
