In my experience, understanding a broker’s approach to spreads is crucial, especially when navigating high-volatility events. After looking closely at FlexTrade, I found that they do not publicly specify on their website whether their forex spreads are fixed or variable. Instead, FlexTrade appears to specialize in providing execution and order management solutions for institutional and professional clients rather than acting as a typical retail forex broker. This means their platforms and trading infrastructure might be adaptable to the preferences of their institutional clients, who set their own spread structures with liquidity providers or banks. For me, having no clear disclosure about spreads—fixed or variable—is a significant red flag, especially when the broker is unregulated, as FlexTrade is according to current data. In regulated environments, spread types and behavior during volatility would typically be outlined and subject to oversight, providing some peace of mind to traders. Without regulation and transparent terms, I would proceed very cautiously. Based on industry standards, variable spreads tend to widen sharply during news events or abnormal market conditions, and in the absence of published trading conditions or clear regulatory accountability, I cannot estimate how FlexTrade’s spreads perform during such episodes. This uncertainty is a risk factor I cannot ignore. In summary, for traders who prioritize transparency and protection during market volatility, the lack of concrete information on spreads—especially with FlexTrade’s regulatory status—makes it extremely difficult for me to confidently assess their suitability for active news trading or any strategy sensitive to spread changes.
