The Impact of Spreads on Trading Costs

Understanding the impact of spreads on your trading costs is crucial for long-term profitability. Here’s how spreads affect different aspects of your trading:

  1. Entry and Exit Costs: Wider spreads increase the cost of opening and closing positions.
  2. Scalping Strategies: Tighter spreads are essential for short-term trading strategies.
  3. Long-Term Positions: Spread impact is less significant for longer-term trades.
  4. Risk Management: Wider spreads may require adjusting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
  5. Overall Profitability: Lower spreads can contribute to higher potential profits over time.

Calculating Trading Costs

To calculate your trading costs, consider both the spread and any additional commissions. For Equiti’s Executive Account, the spread is the primary cost. For the Premiere Account, there’s an additional commission of $7 per lot (round turn) for forex pairs.
