Definition.
The spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price. You pay it each time you open a trade.
When spreads widen.
- Around daily rollover, roughly 21:00–22:00 UTC.
- During major news.
- On less liquid pairs and exotics.
Why it matters.
For scalpers targeting a few pips, the spread can be a large share of each target. Check typical spreads before choosing a market and timeframe.
