O que é o Spread em Forex
O spread de um instrumento financeiro (ações, Forex, etc.) refere-se à diferença de preço entre o preço de oferta de venda e o preço da oferta de compra. O spread é um tipo de custo de transação, juntamente com quaisquer comissões. Por causa do spread, cada transação começará com prejuízo, porque você compra pelo preço de Ask e vende pelo preço de Bid.
Exemplo de um spread do par EUR/USD:
Preço de Venda (Bid) | Preço de Compra (Ask) | Spread | |
---|---|---|---|
Preço a 4 dígitos | 1.0928 | 1.0929 | 0.0001 = 1 Pip |
Preço a 5 dígitos | 1.09252 | 1.09257 | 0.00005 = 0.5 Pips |
