Thread: Plataforma VS. Spread

Do you prefer to have more tight spats of your broker or a platform with which you feel comfortable?Vote for what you think is more important and write a few words explaining your choice.Thank you.Mm

Spreads are an essential part of money management, while platforms are something complementary, although also important.I prefer to give priority to the Spreads because, even with a mediocre platform, I can win, but the wide spreads kill my benefits quickly."If at first you are not successful, try it, try it, try it again" - Winston Churchill

Citing the Spreads are an essential part of money management, while platforms are something complementary, although also important.I prefer to give priority to the Spreads because, even with a mediocre platform, I can win, but the wide spreads kill my benefits quickly.I agree with you.Spreads can make a big difference in the results.

Hello everyone!My options for SPOT FX are Dukascopy and Oanda, while for futures I prefer RCG.Good luck to all!Adequate planning avoids unfortunate performance.

Recently I have had an experience curiously better with the FXCM Spreads compared to Oanda.FXCM seems to have further reduced his spreads, and talked to a friend who operates with much larger volumes than me, and offered him even better treatment due to their size.For those who can operate with larger volumes, it could be a good idea to ask them about it.I'm sure it's worth it.

Recently, I have had an experience curiously better with the FXCM Spreads compared to Oanda.FXCM seems to have further reduced his spreads, and talked to a friend who operates with much larger volumes than me, and offered him even better treatment due to their size.What pairs did you get with better spreads?I know that for a time Oanda increased the spreads due to recent volatility.Unfortunately, I was not using the FXCM platform to notice or compare the difference.Take care.Adequate planning avoids unfortunate performance.

I do not understand how some traders can prioritize a platform over the Spreads.No matter how good the platform is, if the spreads are huge, you are losing money from the moment you enter an operation.I prefer a basic platform with Spreads adjusted to an elegant interface that costs me more in each trade.At the end of the day, the numbers are the ones that matter.

I agree with you.The wide spreds are a problem, but we cannot ignore the importance of a good platform.A slow or unstable platform can ruin you, especially in volatile markets.I think the ideal would be a balance between them.It makes no sense to sacrifice one completely in favor of the other.

Maybe I am the minority here, but for me the platform is first.A reliable platform allows me to operate calmly and execute my strategies without interruptions.In addition, adjusted spans mean nothing if your platform fails when you need to enter or leave quickly.Trust in your work tool is invaluable.

I can understand your point, but in my experience, most platforms are good enough for what we need.If your broker has broad spreads, you are losing money even before the platform is a factor.That is why I believe that the spreads should be the priority.
