From my extensive years trading with various brokers, spread structure plays a foundational role in my decision-making. With R K Global, I notice that there’s very limited clarity on whether they offer fixed or variable spreads. Their website and official materials, as referenced in the available data, simply do not specify this key detail. When a broker is as opaque as R K Global on such an essential aspect of trading costs, I immediately become cautious. In my experience, the nature of spreads—a choice between fixed or variable—is especially critical during periods of market volatility. Historically, variable spreads tend to widen dramatically when news releases move the market, sometimes leading to slippage or greater trading costs than anticipated. If a broker uses fixed spreads, the idea is that costs remain predictable, but fixed spreads from unregulated or poorly overseen brokers often don’t hold up under stress, leading to unexpected requotes or execution issues. Since R K Global is unregulated and has a high potential risk warning profile, I am particularly mindful that their spread management—whether fixed or variable—may not be as robust or transparent as more established, regulated firms. For me, the uncertainty surrounding their spread model, combined with the absence of protections for client funds, makes it impossible to have confidence in their handling of volatile market conditions. I strongly advise anyone to get detailed, written confirmation about spreads and be wary of the hidden costs that often emerge when regulation and transparency are lacking.
