FBS offers Variable and Fixed Spread

FBS offers both fixed and variable spread with different account types, and you may need to know what does that to the spreads in MT4.

Most of brokers offer variable spreads as they can offer even tighter spread than fixed one and the spread follows the real market liquidity conditions.

• Spreads are tighter than fixed ones

Fixed Spread

Fixed spread is offered by some brokers, and it also offers some merits to traders.

With fixed spread account:

• Trading methods or time are restricted often
• Spreads are wider than variable ones
