Drawing from my in-depth analysis and years of experience as a forex trader, I approach the question of Leverate’s spreads with caution. Based on the available information, Leverate is primarily a technology and liquidity solutions provider, not a retail broker, and does not directly offer individual trading accounts. Therefore, as a retail trader, I cannot open an account to access spreads—fixed or variable—directly from Leverate. Leverate’s core services cater to brokers and institutions rather than individual traders, which means that the actual trading conditions, including spread structures, are determined by the brokers utilizing Leverate’s backend technology. In my experience, when using liquidity providers or technology platforms like Leverate, spreads offered to end users are entirely dependent on the broker's decisions and configuration. This typically results in variable spreads due to the nature of liquidity provision. Regarding how spreads behave during high market volatility or major news events, my professional caution is heightened. In the institutional liquidity landscape, spreads almost always widen temporarily in response to major news releases or unpredictable market events. This is a reflection of underlying liquidity risk and market uncertainty, and no technology provider—Leverate included—can fully insulate downstream brokers or their clients from these market realities. In summary, as a trader, I would not expect to access fixed spreads directly from Leverate, nor assume any protection against spread widening during volatile periods through their services alone. Any claims to the contrary would require careful verification and ongoing due diligence with the specific broker you are trading with.
