There is no more discussion of this spread. the following information that I got for spread. 
"Spread is the difference between the selling price (bid) and the buy value (ask) or sell quotes and buy quotes"

now brokers are competing to apply small spreads even though that is the biggest advantage for brokers.

spread is the difference between bid and ask and this is the main income of a broker.

spread is the difference between ask and bid that is available when we start to open a transaction, spread is often used by brokers to get a profit other than the commission charged when the spread is zero or on an ECN account.

spread is the difference between the ask and bid price, the spread is determined by the broker as a profit of his business so the broker gets profit from the spread traded by his client, so the more clients the broker's profit is arguably the greater.

spread is the difference between ask and bid and spread is usually charged at the beginning, different from the commission charged behind or when the transaction is completed. Spreads usually affect the selection of a broker by a trader.

Spread is a range area that is applied by the broker in getting profit.
spreads must be known by novice traders so that they are not confused because there are always discounted fees on transactions.
brokers sometimes don't apply spread 0 they use a commission system.

Spreads are only a distance, the price burden that is given at the beginning of opening lots, can be called a discount from the broker.

spread is a benefit that is obtained by the broker but for traders spread is the same as commission or fees that must be charged in each transaction taken.

All traders know about spreads. The spreads of each broker are different, and all traders want low and stable spreads. Small spreads will attract traders to join the broker.

Spread is the difference between the selling price (bid) and the purchase value (ask) or the selling price and buying price. The average spread is between 1-5 PIP and there are even brokers without spread with a commission system.

spread in trading must be considered because sometimes we choose the wrong broker who applies a spread that is floating and stretches so wide, so make sure that spread is part of the consideration in choosing a broker.

The spread from the broker is very influential at the start of trading, we must pay the spread first before getting profit.
For more comfortable trading, look for a broker with spreads.

This spread is a distance, when trading, the initial order will definitely lose because it is cut by the spread.
The spread that I like is of course the thinnest, usually on the EUR / USD market
