In my experience with Hirose Financial, spreads are generally variable rather than fixed. For the major forex pairs I’ve traded, spreads often start from around 0.7 pips, which is fairly competitive in regular conditions. The variability of these spreads is a common feature among STP brokers like Hirose Financial, as they typically pass market liquidity and pricing directly to clients without dealing desk intervention. This model means that spread levels reflect broader market conditions. When major news hits and volatility spikes, I have noticed that spreads can widen noticeably, especially around significant economic releases or unexpected geopolitical events. This is not unique to Hirose; virtually every broker with variable spreads adjusts them in volatile conditions due to diminished liquidity or rapid price movement. For me, this underlines the importance of cautious risk management, especially if I’m running tightly controlled stop losses or scalping approaching event periods. While the broker’s FCA regulation gives me some procedural peace of mind, I don’t expect price certainty during news—spreads may temporarily widen well beyond the published minimums. Overall, Hirose Financial’s spreads are attractively tight most of the time, but as a trader, I always prepare for variable conditions and plan my position sizes and trade timing accordingly, knowing that high-impact news will bring wider spreads and less predictable costs.
