Based on my review of Vita Markets, I want to clarify that the available information does not specifically disclose whether spreads are fixed or variable. From my experience, brokers operating with a Straight Through Processing (STP) model—such as Vita Markets indicates—most commonly provide variable spreads. STP brokers typically route orders directly to liquidity providers, and the spread is determined by prevailing market conditions rather than being set at a fixed rate. In general, variable spreads can offer tighter pricing during periods of normal market liquidity. However, as an experienced trader, I know that during major news events or spikes in volatility, variable spreads often widen considerably. This is a fundamental risk characteristic of STP models: when liquidity drops or uncertainty rises, the cost of execution can become much higher, sometimes unpredictably so. Fixed spreads, by contrast, hold steady but are not the norm with most STP brokers. While Vita Markets is regulated in Cyprus and is authorized by the CySEC, I always advise caution—especially when exact spread conditions are not transparently disclosed. Regulation provides a framework for oversight, but it does not guarantee spread stability during turbulent markets. My risk management approach involves being particularly wary of trading during scheduled news events or known high-volatility periods if a broker operates with variable spreads, as execution costs can spike and even slippage may occur. For me, full transparency around spread policies is essential for determining if a broker aligns with my risk tolerance.
