Is low spread preferred?

[Charles Agustin]

Spread is a commission taken by brokers so trade with sucha broker that charges narrow trading spread. Market reality is really difficult and traders need time and analysis to catch it.

 

[Fin_Trader]

Spread is primarily your trading costs and the lower it is, the more profit you can earn in each transaction. Therefore, a low spread is very important in trading, especially if you are a scalper or an intraday trader. Therefore, I chose a broker with minimal spreads for more profitable trading (my broker has a spread on the main pair I trade EURUSD of only 1-2 pips).
