The fixed spread

The fixed spread also has some bad sides as it can become a burden on smooth trends. Giving a high amount may be accepted in volatile patterns but in normal patterns, it may not be accepted by many people.

 

The variable spread

It changes with the conditions of market trends. Many people like it as it charges low amount of money for smoother trends.
