In my experience evaluating brokers, one of the most important factors is understanding their spread structure, as this directly impacts trading costs, especially during periods of volatility. When I looked into Fulbright Financial Group, I found that the available information does not specifically clarify whether they offer fixed or variable spreads. The broker primarily provides access to securities, futures, and options—rather than spot forex—so the typical discussion of "spreads" as seen in retail forex trading is less prominent in their disclosure. What stood out to me was that their commission structure for securities is clearly laid out—being percentage-based with minimums for phone and online trading—rather than a per-pip spread model. This suggests that for most products offered, especially in futures, bid-ask spreads are likely dictated by the underlying exchange rather than set by Fulbright directly. From long-term industry observation, I know that during major news events, exchange-traded products (like futures and options) tend to see naturally widening spreads and increased volatility, which can impact trade execution and slippage. Since Fulbright’s licenses and technical focus are in these areas, my expectation—based on standard market mechanics—is that clients would encounter variable spreads that expand during significant macroeconomic events, as liquidity providers on the exchanges adjust to rapid changes in order flow. Overall, from what I could review, Fulbright does not advertise fixed spreads nor do they highlight unusually tight conditions during volatile periods. As an experienced trader, I would approach trading with Fulbright the same way I approach any broker tied to regulated exchanges: assuming that while commission rates may stay constant, effective spreads can widen substantially during unpredictable markets, leading to higher trading costs. This underscores the need for careful risk management, especially when trading during high-impact news releases.
