In my experience trading with SBI SECURITIES, the spreads for FX pairs start from 1 pip. However, it’s important to recognize that these are not fixed spreads—they can and do widen, especially under certain market conditions. During periods of significant market volatility, for example when there’s unexpected news or after market holidays when liquidity is typically lower, I’ve found that slippage and spread widening tend to occur more frequently. This isn’t unique to SBI SECURITIES, but in their case, several users—including myself—have noticed that orders may experience high slippage or even partial fills at such times. What this means for me as a trader is that I have to be particularly cautious around market opens, major economic releases, or other events likely to create fast-moving markets. While the platform's trading environment is generally efficient and secure, these episodes of widened spreads and slippage have, on occasion, led to less optimal trade executions than expected. For anyone considering using SBI SECURITIES, I recommend setting realistic expectations regarding execution quality during volatile periods: spreads are variable and can expand, reflecting true market liquidity and volatility conditions. This is something I always factor into my risk management decisions.
