Variable Spread from 1.2 pips
The spread KVB Kunlun offers is variable and could go wider and tighter than the normal spread depending on the market situations.
In its trading platform Forexstar, the broker will reflect the spread provided by its liquidity providers with added markup.
The markup spread by KVB Kunlun would be fixed all times, but due to high volatility or low liquidity situation, its liquidity providers(banks) may increase the spread.
It is not strange that some spread goes dozens pips wider than the normal hours.
KVB Kunlun does not manipulate prices or widen the spread with intention of making losses for its clients.
Simply loss of its clients is not a profit for KVB Kunlun at all.
Complete 100% STP Environment
With KVB Kunlun, you can trade with the real exchange market, not like many other brokers.
Meaning that all your orders will be directly sent to the real exchange market. KVB Kunlun does not act as a Market Maker and there is not interference to your orders nor price manipulations.
Spread is a bit wider than the average because KVB Kunlun needs to earn profit only from the markup spread.
On the other hand, many brokers adopt OTC/STP model and they hedge(cover) your orders in order to make profits when its clients’ make losses.
The benefits of this STP environment are:
- There is no restrictions on its trading platform
- Your trades will have real influence to the exchange market
All trading accounts of KVB Kunlun are STP accounts.
