SPX500 Live Spread Comparison
SPX500 is an index CFD, and index spreads are largely a broker pricing decision: they widen outside the underlying cash session and tighten when the home exchange is open. For index EAs, matching your trading window to the session where your broker prices SPX500 tightest is a direct cost saving.
