Choose a symbol on the Real-time spread comparison page. If you would like to compare the symbol of CFD, click (1) "Advanced search". If you choose (2) "CFD" in Financial instrument and (3) your favorite category in Category, the Symbol field will be updated to show the symbols of the selected category.

Choose a period (1H, 3H, 6H, 1D, 3D, 1W and 1M) influencing "Spreads for the period" and calculate the average value of spreads. For example, if you choose 3H (3 hours), the minimum, the average, and the maximum spreads for the last 3 hours will be shown.

Spreads tend to widen around 10 pm (UTC) because major markets are closed and there are few traders at the time.

Choose whether to include trading fees in spreads or not. If you would like to compare the virtual total cost, choose "Included in spread".
