FAQ: Is the lowest-spread broker always best?

Low spread is only one part of cost. Execution, commission, slippage, withdrawals and entity matter too.

## Short answer
No. Low spreads may come with commission, slippage, financing cost or weaker entities.

## Correct comparison
Compare total cost: spread plus commission plus slippage plus swaps. Then check entity, withdrawals, server, execution policy and complaint route.

## Fit
Experienced traders may optimize cost, but beginners should prioritize clear regulation and stable withdrawals.
