I know some of you may think I'm absolutely nuts. But, I really like, really like, dynamic spreads. Actually, I love to observe spreads widen significantly. Think I'm crazy, right?

I currently have two trading accounts - one with one and fixed with varying spreads. I enjoy the account . I've discovered that spreads widen, not if the market is moving or a big move is occurring. But rather, when a significant move is about to occur but the market is not sure yet how the move is going.

For instance, yesterday I discovered InterbankFx's spreads widen after the NFP statement by 14 pips on the EURUSD. However this widening didn't occur when the first upward movement started, or if it crossed below resistance to the big drop down. So for me personally, a station breakout trader, the widening didn't impact my transactions. However, the movement did occur a little ways into the first upward movement. This is a STRONG indiion that the market was either preparing for a bigger upper movement or that it was not convinced this upper movement was the ideal way. The spread widening kept me out of this market until the market had determined that a management - down.

This is not the only example and I invite anyone shying away from a variable disperse account to re-think the choice. Many traders follow trend breakout systems like me and I've rarely seen a spread widening which impact the entry or exit (unless it was an emergency exit) under such a method.

So, the gist of what I'm saying is that widening spreads with a anonymous trading broker might not be that bad of a thing. Just think of this as another datapoint directing your trading decision.

Anyone with similar or distinct observations are welcome to respond.
