Every pip matters: Octa broker’s guide to market spreads


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 September 2024 – No matter what tradable instruments a trader prefers, understanding the spreads is instrumental in successfully navigating the financial markets. The experts at Octa, a globally recognised broker since 2011, summarise the key points every trader should know about spreads.

Octa

The annoying ubiquity of spreads
Any trader, regardless of the asset classes in their portfolio, deals with transaction costs in one way or another, paying a bid-ask price with each trade. A spread is the difference between an asset’s buying and selling prices. Since no broker offers zero spreads, the question traders face is not how to avoid this fee altogether but rather how to find a broker with lower spreads and what value difference to expect from it.

Two types of spreads
Traders always pay the higher price when they buy and the lower price when they sell, with the broker taking the difference. There are two types of spreads, each having its pros and cons: fixed and variable.

Variable spreads change according to market conditions and instrument volatility. More volatile assets have wider spread variations. Even though variable spreads do not allow traders to predict the exact spread value, the average spread size can easily be calculated at the end of the session. With fixed spreads, on the other hand, traders always know where they are when they start trading, and the end result never comes as a surprise, regardless of asset volatility.

Little by little, a little becomes a lot
How important is it to have favourable spreads? Let’s illustrate the significance of lower spreads by an example.

If broker A has a bid-ask spread of 1 pip for a major currency pair, and broker B has a 3 pip spread, a broker A’s client will get 2 pips more of a profit for each positive outcome than a broker B’s client—and 2 pips less of a loss for each negative. Over a long time, these slight differences can amount to a hefty sum. For example, a day trader can make up to a few hundred trades daily, depending on the strategy and how frequently attractive opportunities appear. Now, suppose a pip value for the EUR/USD pair is 0.1 USD, and the trader buys or sells one lot per order. With 100 trades per session, the 2 pips spread difference will amount to 20 USD to be deducted from the trader’s financial result at the end of the day. Considering that in Forex, individual gains are mostly marginal, and each pip counts, having lower spreads in the first place is a significant advantage.

The more the merrier
Since spreads are imposed on a per-trade basis and do not depend on the order amount, spread difference becomes more important as the number of trades per session increases. Therefore, the trading style that profits from low spreads the most is scalping, which involves a maximum number of trades compared to other strategy types.

The size and type of spreads often become a primary factor in choosing a broker, and traders decide on their preferences based on their strategy and style. For example, many scalpers prefer variable spread offers because it enables them to access the cheapest spreads available on the market at any given time. Spreads may seem insignificant when considered on a per-order basis, but at the end of the sessions, these minor differences accrue and can tilt the odds of success in the trader’s favour.

I-PRIMO Commemorates 25th Anniversary with the Grand Opening of Second Store at Suntec City

Explore I-PRIMO’s exquisite collection of over 200 beautifully crafted rings, each designed to capture the best moments of your unique love story as you take your first step together


SINGAPORE – Media Outreach Newswire – 16 September 2024 – Renowned Japanese bridal jewellery brand, I-PRIMO, is thrilled to announce the opening of its second store in Singapore, located at Suntec City. This exciting expansion marks a significant milestone as the brand proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Tomotaka Miyata, Managing Director of I-PRIMO Singapore, says, “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our customers and partners for helping us reach this milestone. As a brand, our mission remains to support couples in their journey to find the perfect ring and achieve lasting happiness through our Japanese-born bridal expertise.”

At I-PRIMO, its commitment to making every moment extraordinary is captured in its philosophy “Our Promise to Your Best Moments,” as you take your first step into a promising future. With over 200 stunning ring designs, they offer engagement rings inspired by stars as well as zodiac signs, alongside a series of collections like the seasons-inspired collection, Hatsusora and the vintage-style collection, Suwaha. The team is dedicated to creating a unique ring tailored to your needs, all while embodying their commitment to Japanese hospitality and exceptional customer service.

To celebrate its grand opening, I-PRIMO proudly introduces Chloris, a stunning new addition to its set ring collection, inspired by the timeless beauty of cherry blossoms, long cherished by the Japanese. The Chloris engagement ring features a unique five-prong setting that elegantly curves and swells like a flower’s stem, gently cradling the diamond. This exquisite design allows the diamond to capture and reflect light from above and the sides, creating a radiant sparkle reminiscent of delicate cherry blossoms.

For the wedding bands, there is a “hidden sakura” motif that is subtly engraved within the interior of the band. The ring’s light and refined design, with minimal protruding elements, ensures comfortable everyday wear without the worry of catching on clothing or other objects. It is as if the petals of a cherry blossom have been captured and transformed into this timeless piece of jewellery.

The “Chloris” design embodies a rhythmic curve that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of I-PRIMO’s artisans. Utilising advanced forging technology, this ring offers a sharp yet warm shape, making it a truly special piece for those seeking elegance and sophistication.

Additionally, I-PRIMO introduces the Patalena wedding ring set, a unique collection designed to blend two distinct concepts into an impressive, individualistic style. The bride’s ring features side stones of varying sizes, symbolising a blossoming flower of happiness. In contrast, the groom’s ring showcases glossy square motifs, representing the nurturing sunlight that helps the flower thrive.

From proposal to aftercare services, the Japanese bridal ring speciality brand delivers a comprehensive experience for customers looking to pick out a ring for a special occasion. In addition to expert guidance from their bridal ring specialists, I-PRIMO also offers customization options like complimentary engraving and their distinctive “Promise Diamonds.” These colour-enhanced natural diamonds, which can be embedded on the inner side of your engagement or wedding band, come in eight different colours, each representing a one-of-a-kind message to express your love.

The decision to open a second store at Suntec City follows the successful grand opening of I-PRIMO’s flagship store at ION Orchard in November 2022. Since then, the brand has built a dedicated customer base in Singapore, drawn by its unique designs and exceptional service. Committed to improving accessibility and service for its valued customers, this expansion aims to enhance brand recognition, attract new clients, and offer greater convenience to existing ones, including better access to after-care services.

As a bustling business and shopping hub, Suntec City is an ideal location with exceptional visibility due to its prime location. Being surrounded by various wedding halls and bridal event venues, the location offers added convenience for couples planning their weddings or bridal customers seeking engagement and wedding rings.

The new I-PRIMO store in Singapore is located at Suntec City, #01-322, 3 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038983 and opens from 10am to 10pm daily.
