From my experience navigating different forex brokers, understanding how spreads behave—especially during volatile periods—is essential for risk management. With Forex Limited, while their account types list minimum spreads ranging from 0.17 up to 1.57 pips depending on the account size, the lack of transparency on their website regarding whether these spreads are fixed or variable raises immediate concerns for me. Typically, brokers with a straight-through processing (STP) or ECN model—as Forex Limited claims—almost always offer variable spreads, as these reflect the real-time liquidity conditions from the broader market. In my personal trading, variable spreads can tighten during stable markets but often widen dramatically around major news events. I’ve seen this especially with STP brokers; spreads may spike unexpectedly during times of thin liquidity or economic releases, making stop-loss hunting or slippage a real risk. The minimum spread figure quoted by Forex Limited is just that—the lowest possible, not the average or worst-case scenario during volatility. Given Forex Limited’s questionable reputation noted in user exposures, plus the high-risk alerts and limited concrete information on trading conditions, I am especially cautious. Without clear, up-to-date documentation on average and peak spreads during news, I would not assume spread stability in volatile times. For me, this level of uncertainty is unacceptable when capital preservation is a priority, and I would only proceed with careful due diligence or seek brokers that disclose and regularly update real spread statistics.
