Does etoro have variable or fixed spreads? I tried to check their website but can't find any info. I only found information about their spread rates but not about the type of spread.

Their spreads are variable. You can find more details about it here: eToro spreads. Hope this helps.

what's the difference with variable and fixed anyway? is variable better?

vin It really comes down to your trading style and personal choice. With fixed spreads, they're consistent regardless of market liquidity so you'll be able to plan the transaction costs more effectively. Variable spreads on the other hand are less costly when the market is quiet or stagnant but when it's on fire, it's less advantageous, Bottom-line, the choice is yours.

According to eToro’s help center, assets on eToro are offered with spreads that are either “fixed” or “variable.” As the name suggests, fixed spreads have a fixed-width spread where the difference between the BUY and SELL prices remains constant, regardless of the change in the price of the product. Conversely, variable (sometimes referred to as “floating”) spreads have a spread where the difference between the buy and sell prices may change.
