Spread is the very very very important thing you need to be aware and mindful of. You always buy high and sell low. Long or Short you are red as soon as you take a position. Since the spread is not fixed for most instruments (I am not sure if there’s any instrument with fixed spread at trading212), the spread might be wider when you want to close a position. I have asked a question around spread which is not answered yet: Does trading212 quote spreads based on a customer's open positions?
I wouldn’t worry too much about swap as it’s a small fee for overnight holds and it’s fixed.
