How and when to access tighter spreads on Deriv MT5

When you trade with lower spreads, you tighten the gap between your entry and exit prices. Reducing this cost means you keep more profit from every successful trade. If you are an active trader, these savings add up quickly across multiple positions.

Different trading styles gain unique advantages:

  • Scalpers benefit significantly, as trading higher volumes means reduced spreads can turn marginal trades into profitable ones, even in and out of the market with relatively small price moves.

  • Day traders and short-term traders experience lower overall costs on their cumulative trading volume, especially when opening and closing multiple positions during these periods.

  • Algorithmic and automated traders see improved performance when their strategies involve higher trading volumes, as the lower spreads directly decrease their total transaction costs.

  • Swing traders achieve better entries and manage larger positions more effectively, as reduced spreads preserve more capital and help maximise returns, particularly when scaling into trades.

If you lower your trading cost, you naturally increase your net returns, whatever your preferred approach.
