Tighter spreads vs zero commissions, which is better for cfd?.

Hi everyone, it's the weekend, and I've been meaning to ask about something.
As a CFD trader, what matters more to you: tighter spreads or zero commission on trades?

I'm asking because I decided to try out this new Standard+ trading mode this week while taking GBPJPY trades, and I noticed it comes with zero commission and a clear markup.

I'm someone who trades about three times a day and rarely holds positions overnight. Now, I' don't have that patient .. I'm considering 2 account types: ECN, which offers raw spreads plus a per-lot commission, and the Standard+ mode I mentioned earlier.

Which would you personally prefer, and why?

I'd compare the total cost per trade rather than just looking at spreads or commission. With around three trades a day, even small differences can add up. I'd check the actual spread during active trading hours too, since that's when it matters most.

Yes that's a good idea francesca,I'll spend this week doing that and I'll revert here. But from initial observation, I think Bitgetstandard+ suits my trading style.
