DJ30 (Dow Jones 30) delivered Good spreads across all sessions, consistently ranging between 200–250 points. However, it did not meet the Excellent criteria, suggesting room for improvement in spread efficiency.

GER30 (German 30 Index) achieved Good spreads during the European and US sessions, but performance dropped to Average in the Asian session, aligning with reduced activity during off-peak hours.
