Which are better fixed spread or variable spread?

[ashwini]

in my knowledge both ae advantages.
like if ur new then use the fixed spread. and easily calculate the profit. if ur good traders. and have a good balance and using the scalping then use the variable spread. so u easily make profit from scalping. variable spread is started form min. and may be its have max . 4pips different in eurusd. so its depend on you what .how ,,u wnat to do.

if i had to choose, I would choose the fixed spread. many brokers that offer very low spreads, even only 0.5 pips. but, it is only a trap. when there is a very volatile market movements, suddenly spread widened to 5 pips. thus, it is very detrimental to a trader.

Some brokers offer fixed spread while others variable spread. Which spread are better in your opinion?

i'd prefer to choose fixed spread, because it's more profitable i think than variable spread. in insta, we can get fixed spread and no commision, that's the advantage of trading in instaforex
