Why spreads expand

The cost of entry can change with market conditions.

When liquidity changes

Around news, rollover, holidays or thin sessions, fewer quotes or greater uncertainty can widen the bid–ask spread.

What it changes

Wider spreads can increase transaction costs and affect the price at which orders trigger or positions are marked. Check instrument rules and the relevant bid or ask price.

How to prepare

Monitor the calendar and product schedule, include variable costs in your plan and review execution records after a trade. No order type removes every execution risk.
