Drawing on my experience and careful research, I did not find explicit details from EBSI regarding whether their spreads are fixed or variable. The broker is established—with over 20 years in operation and strong SFC regulation in Hong Kong—and offers trading on the MetaTrader 4 platform, which commonly provides both fixed and variable spread models depending on broker settings. However, since the available information does not specify this crucial detail, I must err on the side of caution and caution fellow traders to seek direct clarification from EBSI’s official channels before making any assumptions. Based on broader industry practices, most regulated brokers offering MT4, especially those dealing with leveraged forex and futures, typically use variable spreads. Variable spreads will almost always widen during periods of intense market volatility, such as major economic news releases, to reflect liquidity constraints and increased risk in the markets. As a trader, I have found that even reputable firms see these temporary spread increases, and EBSI is unlikely to be an exception. Given EBSI’s regulatory status and technical infrastructure, I would expect them to follow standard risk management procedures, but without explicit confirmation, I do not assume that spreads will remain tight or predictable in all circumstances. For risk-conscious traders like myself, this underlines the importance of monitoring market conditions closely and being prepared for the normal spread fluctuations that can occur around news events, even with long-established brokers.
