In the Forex world, there are two sorts of spreads offered by Forex Brokers towards their traders. This implies they can trade shrink on a Fixed spread or Variable spread as it were. There are numerous traders that will choose to open an account with a particular Broker simply because of the spread sort that the Broker offers.

It depends on trading strategy. Like, scalper prefer variable, and news traders prefer fixed spreads.

I prefer brokers with fixed spreads. So in my opinion I can calculate my costs in advance. and it seems to me that it is more difficult for brokers to deceive me.

Also, I noticed another kind of spreads.
So here on myfxbook while I was searching for broker spreads to compare between fxview and ICM, I noticed that there are spreads and spreads+commission, it actually made a lot of difference, on the overall cost of my trade.

Fixed spread favorable to me. If there is a fixed spread, the analysis gives an idea about the risk-reward.

The spread on the exchange is set by the broker. Depending on the type of account, traders have different spreads. I am satisfied with a spread of 0.2 pips from Amarkets

And do the spreads remain decent during news or events?

Fixed or variable spread depends upon your trading strategy. personally i prefer variable spreads as i am pretty much aware of the times when generally the spreads are high or low in the market. So I only prefer trading when market has good liquidity.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

I am not sure about others but I usually trade with ECN brokers that offer transparent trading environments. And because of this, it doesn’t really matter whether I am using variable spreads or fixed ones.

I am comfortable trading with a fixed spread. I like it when I understand how much I will have to pay before opening a deal.

Sometime volatile spreads are lower than fixed spreads under normal market condition. Fixed spreads are good for news traders

With a variable spread, I get the price which is on the lower end as I can enter and exit the trade when there is lesser activity than normal. So if you ask me they are better.

Well, I think that variable spreads turn out to be cheaper than the fixed spreads in the long run.

I really don’t think that using fixed spreads or variable spreads has much impact on your bottom line as a trader. It is your trading style and risk appetite that determine the best spread structure that you must opt for.

Choosing the right type of spreads is more of a personal choice. Just because variable spreads work better for me, I can’t be sure that they will work for you also. You will have to determine that yourself.

For some, a stable spread is the best, and for others, floating is good enough. And the spread from Amarkets from 0.2 pips suits me.

Every broker that I've ever checked out with fixed spreads was insanely pricey, I always stick to variable spreads.
