Do all brokers offer the same price for a particular market?

  • Created

The prices offered by different brokers, including us, may vary due to several factors:

Independently set prices: each broker sets its own contract for difference (CFD) prices using various sources and pricing methodologies. They take into account market data, liquidity providers, and their own risk-management strategies, which can lead to price differences.

Currency and market type: it's important to compare prices of the same markets in the same currency and market type (spot, futures, options, etc.). We mainly offer instruments with spot prices.

Bid/ask and mid prices: Brokers often display bid (sell) and ask (buy) prices, as well as a mid price (average between the two). Understanding these price components is crucial for evaluating the spread and overall cost of trading.

Commission and spreads: different brokers may have varying commission structures and spreads, which can impact the overall price of trading.

Price delay: some third-party websites may have price delays, meaning the prices displayed are not fully live. In contrast, we aim to provide real-time prices.

Nature of asset: prices can differ based on the nature of the asset being traded. Different assets have different market conditions, liquidity, and demand-supply dynamics, affecting their prices.

Market conditions: market conditions, such as volatility, economic events, and geopolitical factors, can influence price movements. As a result, prices may fluctuate differently across brokers.
