gold trading spread widening

Hi all,i'm new in here, I trade gold with ODL, their spread normally is 0.5 cents, but this few days, they wide the spread to USD1 to USD 1.5, but the market is not that fluctuate, CAn anyone can tell me what is other company spread? Does i need to change another company ,Thanks

Take a look at Activtrades or Ikon Royal, they offer gold with tighter spread. There may be some other brokers too.

The commission rate is zero, but the spread is terrible,if fast market , i accept they wide 1USD to 1.5USD...but they always spread 0.7-1.0 on normal market, and i earn some money so far, they are scarded ..

umm... no. spread widens because of normal market conditions. things like low volume, high volatility, or lots of movement will raise spreads. since there has been an increase in gold trading the past few days, spread has been raised in order to cover all the transactions and ensure that only the people who really want the order go for it. it's all supply and demand buddy.

IKON ROYAL shows .2 spread on gold on their main site but that is 'INDICATIVE'

I have the ikon royal demo and the spread is actually .6

oanda has the lowest I found so far but typically that is .5 or a tad lower
