Speaking candidly as someone who evaluates brokers cautiously, I need to point out that Tradition’s WikiFX profile does not offer clear, public information about their spread structure—specifically, whether they offer fixed or variable spreads. For me as a trader, transparency on this aspect is essential, because understanding spread behavior is directly tied to potential trading costs and proper risk management. In my experience, brokers regulated by robust authorities like Hong Kong’s SFC, as Tradition is, tend to follow industry norms, which often involve variable spreads, especially for complex markets like FX forwards and derivatives. Typically, during calm market conditions, variable spreads remain relatively tight. However, when significant news events cause heightened volatility, variable spreads commonly widen. This is a risk that all active traders must account for, as a sudden increase in spreads can lead to unexpectedly higher transaction costs or even slippage. Without explicit details from Tradition about how their spreads behave during volatile periods, I would approach this broker with prudent caution. For my trading, I require direct communication from broker representatives or clearly published terms to know exactly how costs might shift when markets are turbulent. Until those critical details are transparent, I prefer to manage my exposure conservatively, especially in fast-moving or news-driven conditions.
