Spread Report – MT5 Spread Analysis Tool for FX and CFD Brokers

Understanding the true spread performance of your trading platform is one of the most important- and most overlooked- aspects of running a competitive brokerage. Spreads that are too wide relative to the market drive clients away. Spreads that vary significantly across trading sessions create a poor and inconsistent client experience. And spread data that is calculated from limited samples or external sources simply cannot be trusted for business decisions. Broktinger’s Spread Report gives you authoritative, tick-level spread analysis generated directly from your own MT5 platform- the most accurate spread reporting tool available to FX and CFD brokers.

Unlike third- party spread monitoring tools that collect data from external accounts and publish generalized weekly averages, our Spread Report works natively inside your MetaTrader 5 environment- capturing every single tick registered on your platform and producing a clear, well- structured analysis broken down by instrument and trading session.

What Makes Our Spread Report Different

Most spread reporting tools available to brokers today collect data from external monitoring accounts- meaning they only capture a fraction of the ticks your platform actually processes, and they rely on a third party’s infrastructure rather than your own live data. The result is spread data that is incomplete, potentially unrepresentative, and always one step removed from the reality of your platform.

Broktinger’s Spread Report is fundamentally different. It works directly within your MT5 server environment, capturing every single tick that passes through your platform during the analysis period. This means the spread data it produces is complete, accurate, and truly representative of what your clients actually experience- not an approximation based on sampled external data.

Key Features

Tick-Level Accuracy

Every spread calculation in our report is based on every single tick registered in your MT5 platform during the selected period. No sampling, no approximation, no external data collection. The result is the most accurate spread analysis possible- built entirely from your own platform’s live data.

Trading Session Breakdown

Spreads behave very differently across different market sessions. A spread that looks competitive on average may be significantly wider during the Tokyo session, or tighter than expected during London hours. Our Spread Report breaks down average spreads by trading session- Tokyo, London, and New York- giving you a complete picture of your spread performance across the full trading day.

Flexible Time Period Selection

Analyse your spread data for any time period that matters to your business. Whether you need to review last week’s spread performance, compare spreads before and after a liquidity provider change, or analyse spread behaviour around a specific market event- our tool gives you the flexibility to define exactly the period you want to examine.

Clean, Well-Designed Table Format

Our Spread Report presents all spread data in a clear, well-structured table- designed for readability and practical use. Every instrument, every session, and every metric is presented in a format that is immediately understandable and easy to act on. No complex charts to interpret, no cluttered visualisations- just clean, precise data laid out exactly as you need it.

On-Demand and Scheduled Reporting

Run the Spread Report whenever you need it- on demand with a single request- or set it up to run automatically on a regular schedule. Scheduled reports are delivered directly to your email, ensuring your team always has up-to-date spread data without needing to remember to request it manually. Set it weekly, monthly, or at any frequency that suits your operational rhythm.

What the Spread Report Shows

For each instrument in your selected range, the Spread Report table displays:

Average spread across the full analysis period
Average spread broken down by trading session- Tokyo, London, and New York
Analysis period clearly displayed for reference and record-keeping

All data is sourced directly from your MT5 platform’s tick history- giving you complete confidence in the accuracy and representativeness of every figure in the report.

How Brokers Use the Spread Report

Liquidity Provider Evaluation and Comparison

When evaluating a new liquidity provider or comparing the performance of existing ones, spread data is one of the most important metrics. Our Spread Report gives you accurate, session-level spread data for any period- making LP comparisons precise and reliable.

Client Transparency and Marketing

Many brokers publish spread data as part of their marketing and client transparency initiatives. Our Spread Report gives you verified, platform-native data that you can share with clients and prospects with complete confidence- because it is generated directly from your own MT5 environment, not collected by a third party.

Spread Monitoring and Quality Control

Regular spread reporting allows your team to monitor spread quality over time and identify any deterioration- whether caused by LP issues, platform configuration changes, or market conditions. Scheduled weekly reports make this an automatic part of your operational routine.

Session-Specific Spread Analysis

Understanding how your spreads behave across different sessions allows you to make informed decisions about session-specific configurations- including whether to widen or tighten spreads during specific sessions, and how your spread profile compares to the market during each session.

Why Our Spread Report is Superior to Third-Party Tools

Third-party spread monitoring services collect data from external accounts connected to your platform- or worse, from demo accounts that may not reflect your live pricing at all. They capture only a fraction of your actual tick data, they rely on external infrastructure that may not always be available, and they publish data on a fixed schedule regardless of when you need it.

Our Spread Report eliminates all of these limitations. It works inside your own MT5 environment, captures 100% of your tick data, runs on demand whenever you need it, and delivers results directly to your inbox on any schedule you choose. The difference in data quality and operational flexibility is significant- and for a tool that informs decisions about your liquidity relationships and client pricing, that difference matters.
