Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new in the game and I have a question about spreads.
When I look here on myfxbook -> Brokers -> Spreads the spreads a very low compared to these my brokers offer.
For example here on this site for IC Markets GBPAUD 1.5. But in my MetaTrader4 the Spread is 24.
Also on the GKFX Account: here on this site 6.8 for GBPAUD but in my MT4 45.
Do I misunderstand anything or what's wrong here?

@tradingjules the spreads showing in your account are in points while the spreads in our spreads page show in pips. Points simply show the decimal difference between bid and ask taking into account that the last digit of the price is equal to 1 point. When comparing spreads, a pip is usually referred to the figure in the 2nd or 4th decimal, depending on the currency.
For example,
EURUSD 1 pip is the 4th decimal.
From your image:
EURUSD ask price of 1.20843 and bid of 1.20854 would mean (1.20854-1.20843)*10000=1.1 pip however in points that is (1.20854-1.20843)*100000=11 points.

You need to learn to differentiate between the spreads in points and pips. Once you know the difference between the two, you are good to go.

Yea, just like the above user said, the one you are talking about are points which is pipettes, if I am not wrong.
Do remember the spreads are fluctuating, so if IC Markets GBPAUD is 1.5, which is pips, so for, points are basically 15.

Spreads varies from broker to broker and account type to account type. In zero spreads account you get very low spreads but you have to pay commission and standard account spreads will be high but won't be any commission. Choose according to your comfort.

But usually the fixed spread is larger than the lower limit of the floating one.

When I go to trade I first form an idea about spreads. Because the spread is too high, it will be very difficult for me to make a profit.

You must of course concentrate on the spreads but also, ticker value, swaps/overnight fees and commissions because this is a huge oversight for beginners in the markets. Spreads are important and pretty easy to understand but swaps and other Fees need to be researched properly before entering any trade. When opening an account with a broker you can use myfxbook which is great for showing you the trading costs, trading conditions but also check the KID(Key Information Documents) on your brokers website (normally found at the bottom of the home page but if you can't find ask the customer support/live chat at your broker.
Live the life you want to live.

Trader forex usually will like if the broker has low spread because giving an opportunity to making profit quicker, but besides spread also quality instant execution also affected to the result in trading, if a trader wants to open and close order, fast execution more preferable than delaying execution.

For short term traders and scalpers spreads is very important. As a day trader, I like floating spreads. That's why I always prefer zero spreads account with commission.

The main support of the broker is spread. If the spread is low, it is possible to gain a lot of profit by trading in that broker. So before choosing a broker, it is very important to know about the spread of that broker first.

Spreads are pretty difficult for new traders to understand and this is okay actually. Everything that you don't know when you enter the market is a good opportunity to find out about it and apply on practice. Spreads are just created for substitution to commissions, or at least they make commissions less.
In my opinion, if you just entered the market and start trading, then you shouldn't bother about spreads and pips, because these things just help you to dive deeper in trading activity. You would better find information about trends for example and their reversals.

Beginners find spreads to be one of the most confusing concepts when learning about forex trading. A spread is a difference between the buy and sell prices of a currency pair. For example, on a buy order of EUR/USD at 1.1050, the asking price is 1.1052, and the bid price is 1.1048. The difference between the two prices is the spread - in this case, 4 pips (or .04).

I always choose a broker according to its spread. Too high spreads, as well as too low are suspicious for me. Trading principles are not so important.
