I hate fix spread. That is impossible for a broker to get a fix spread from liquidity providers. And I found most of the traders has bad idea. Sometimes Broker hit stop loss intentionally.
Live floating spreads are better as you know when they are going to high and can do something about it.
ECN/STP and MM does not matter if you are using well regulated broker and know how to make profit. Broker will automatically put you in their A book/B book if you lose more than 30%. I am using Hanseatic Broker and faced no such problem so far.
Exactly

What I don't like in the fixed spreads is that they usually include the commission as a markup which automatically makes them much higher than the floating spreads and affects the execution.
Yes, same here, I hate this mark up stuff! And better if you see the full commissions straight from the opening of the trade!

Forex brokers generally offer two types of trade spreads, variable or fixed. On the other hand, fixed spreads are predetermined and remain constant throughout all trading conditions and variable spread are changing constantly on the basis of the market condition. Personally I prefer to use variable spread in forex market. Because sometimes the spread is very low in market and we can take a short trade with low spread and more profit.

dynamic spreads are the real market quotes so there are no chances of markups. many ECN brokers even provide spreads on major pairs starting from 0 pips. However, i do not prefer fixed spreads as brokers manipulate them. I prefer paying nominal commissions additionally rather than having fixed spreads.

variable spread is a big trap for EA s to fail.
better to trade with fix spread. ( 4-5 weeks ago I was on the other side )

Can you please, explain why are the variable spreads big trap for EAs to fail? as that is what I am doing so far, and I believed I was doing just fine. Should I change my broker to another one who's offering fixed spreads, in order to get higher profit?

The variable spread are the proof of orders going straight to the market. If only trade with fix spreads may face the risk of dealing with market maker, which means you are betting against the company and not actually trading in the market. So I would suggest var spread as well.

not quite quite agree that "variable spread are the proof of orders going straight to the market". This is something many maker makers offers as well. There are many other way's to understand really what broker you are dealing with. :)

True. And besides, it's better for one's spread not to widen ridiculously during news events hitting the stop loss.

I always watch the spread before a trade, sometimes it takes the broker awhile to adjust it according to risk, if its to wide I stay out, try to calculate the difference while its moving.

Dynamic spread is always better than fixed spread, because most of the times brokers providing fixed spread are market maker brokers. So you should stay away from a broker offering fixed spreads.
Fixed spreads might be good if you are trading just in a cent or micro account or a very small account in that range just to test your system, but definitely not suitable for large accounts.

Wouldn't fixed spreads also be beneficial if one uses scalping strategies to trade?

Hey guys,
do you prefer fixed spreads or do you prefer dynamic spreads? What does your broker offer you?
Thanks for taking time to respond.
I think that a broker has mobile spreads can be a big problem if we are interested in the short term, or if our account does not have much margin to support the operations.

IMHO variable spreads are better as usually they are lower than fixed.
During big news BOTH fixed and variable spreads are rising.

Staying with the topic on fixed and variable spreads, will a commission based trades offer better execution and reduce slippage during big news? Is this a better option for people tading on news? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
will a commission based Broker offer better execution and reduce slippage during big news?
I would say it does not depend on fixed/variable spreads
Execution and slippage differs from broker to broker.
Logically the best conditions during news could offer B-Book broker as such trades will never reach the market :)
