spread is a kind of trading fee that we give to brokers as a form of commission for brokers because it has facilitated us a trading platform and so on so that we can trade properly.

The spread is the difference between the bid and ask prices which are often charged in every trading transaction and is a commission and is the right of the broker who has facilitated trading to the client.

spread is one of the things that traders often take into account when choosing a broker, especially scalper traders, where the trader often associates it with a profit in scalping.

The spread is the discount that brokers use to their advantage. 
spread is more precise as the difference between the selling price and the buying price, it's what brokers take to their advantage.

Spread can be called a fee on every transaction made, it is true that it is a fee that brokers take for their benefit.
The spread of each broker varies depending on the regulations, I prefer brokers with low spreads.
our profits will of course be greater if the costs of the spread are small.

Spread is the profit broker gets when we trading forex sell or buy, the difference between the buying and selling prices.
The spreads on each pair depend on the level of the pair's busyness.

spread is a kind of difference in bid and ask prices that traders often discuss and spreads sometimes affect scalping strategies because they are very extreme.

Usual explanation for the spread is the difference between ask and bid, but what concerns me is that this spread greatly affects the cut trading results when using scalping techniques.

The spread is the difference between the bid and ask and that is what the broker takes as a commission in the transactions we make for providing services provided by the broker so that we can trade.

The spread is the difference between the bid and ask prices charged by the broker, the spread can also directly follow the real market as in the ECN account but with the usual commission burden.

spread is one of the things we have to take into account especially if we are scalper traders because spread will affect the probability of trading if we ignore the strategy.

Every trading forex, transaction must see two lines, the distance between them is the spread, it is the cost of the trade given by the broker.

Very basic knowledge, the difference between the selling price (bid) and the buying value (ask) or the sell quotes and the buy quotes is called the spread. Because we partner with a broker, it is from this difference that the broker has an advantage.
