Are spread orders risky?

Spread orders generally have lower risk than directional trades, but they are not risk-free. Risks include:

  • Execution risk (one leg of the trade may not execute at the expected price).
  • Liquidity risk (low trading volume can cause slippage).
  • Volatility risk (unexpected market swings can impact spreads).
