Different types of commission payments .

A spread is the difference between the buying price and the selling price.for example,if you see figures 1.3188\1.3190 on EUR\USD ; 1.3188 is the buying price and 1.3190 is the selling price .the difference between the two is 2pips.if your forex broker is offering fixed spreads then the spread\commission you pay for the trade is always going to be 2pips.if you are trading $1 per pip.your transaction cost will be 2$.if you are trading 2$ per pip your transaction cost will be $4 and so on.

as we mentioned above,some brokers use fixed and some use variable spreads. whichever way you look at it a fixed spread is a commission payment.some traders prefer fixed spreads because you always know what the cost of your trade is going to be without any working out or referencing your balance sheet at the end of the day.
