As a trader with many years’ experience evaluating regulated brokers, I have found that understanding a broker’s spread structure and its behavior during volatile periods is essential for risk management. With Forex Sport, although the WikiFX data confirms ASIC regulation and market maker status, there is a noticeable lack of transparent information about their spread model—specifically, whether they offer fixed or variable spreads. This is a detail I always want to clarify because it directly affects trading costs and execution reliability. Based on my experience and the provided information, brokers operating as market makers, like Forex Sport, commonly utilize variable spreads. Variable spreads typically tighten in stable market conditions but can widen significantly during major news events or high volatility. This widening can result in higher-than-expected transaction costs for traders at critical moments—something I've seen many times and always prepare for by adjusting position sizes or sitting out major events. Given that Forex Sport’s public documentation does not specify the exact nature of their spreads or offer historical data on how these behave under stress, I would personally exercise caution. In these scenarios, I always contact customer support for clarification before opening and funding an account. Relying on personal prudence, I avoid trading major news until I have first-hand data on spread stability, especially when transparency is lacking.
