Don't worry about floating spreads because it often happens so what we need to do is avoid trading when the market moves volatile or avoid news.

spreads that widen when there is news or during market changes due to the large volatility of market participants who are transacting in the forex market.

spread is often a consideration for some traders, but at certain times even though we use an ECN account the spread can still stretch.

Fixed spread rarely widen but can still widen at certain times but if the broker applies floating spread it is always widened even in sideway conditions.

If you want the spread to not change or widen, you should choose a broker that applies a fixed spread, although it does not guarantee that during high volatility the spread will not expand because the spread also depends on market conditions.

The stretchy spread is due to increased volatility and usually occurs when there is big news or when speculators enter the market and play price games there.

To overcome this in order to avoid losses due to stretchy spreads, use a broker who applies a fixed spread or avoids trading when news.

the higher the volatility, the spread can also fluctuate even though the broker fixes a fixed spread, but it is to adjust to market conditions.

I do not understand forex news, I rarely determine trades in the news because I haven't used it

Spread when news occurs will widen, it happens to some brokers who use the current spread system. but for certain brokers the spread is fixed despite any market conditions.

The spread in a broker can indeed be stretched even though it is a fixed spread because the spread actually depends on the volatility or whether or not there are busy price movements in the forex market.

Spreads can stretch very large when there is big news or volatility increases because it is the broker's policy to overcome losses in trading.

Spreads during big news are dangerous, sometimes even touching the stop loss that we use.
In this condition, in my opinion, it is better to find a safe way by not trading at that time.

It is very natural if there is a spread that widens when there is news or a very significant movement of sports, this is because many market players enter the market itself

The spread is bound to be large, because in big news conditions the value of demand and sales will also be far away due to the fast moving market transactions.
