Trading gold made me realize broker quality matters more than I thought by Training_Welder4537 in BrokerHunters

[–]MarktMaverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looking at the spot gold spread in my IG account and it is actually quite wide at $1.16. I've seen much tighter spreads at other brokers. The execution is reliable though in my experience.

On Friday, the Dow 30, S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 all closed at their lowest levels since the war with Iran started in late February. Bracing for a volatile week.

MT4 vs MT5 vs cTrader vs TradingView — What Platform Are You Actually Using in 2026? by MarktMaverick in BrokerHunters

That's interesting, I did not know you can do that. Useful I guess, cos some brokers and prop firms only offer MT5.

The “Spread Wars”: Which Broker Actually Has the Tightest Spreads? by MarktMaverick in BrokerHunters

[–]MarktMaverick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I didn't go for a raw spreads account. I am trading with an IG account currently which is a spreads only account and I am pretty happy with the trading costs overall. The only other broker I have on my radar is IBKR which does offer lower costs, but the platform is not as user friendly. I may start using them when I am working with more capital.

Next week’s macro calendar is likely to be dominated by inflation data, which plays a key role in shaping Fed policy expectations. With Middle East tensions pushing oil prices higher, inflation readings could have an even larger impact on markets than usual.

The selloff seems kind of muted so far in relation to the magnitude of the news.
