Why is the FUTU spread so high on some exchanges?

No route is worth a look right now; the engine's commonest warnings: a stock, index, commodity or currency while its market is shut (weekend, holiday, early close): the gap is a bet on the reopening, not an arbitrage; under $20 at the best price. We have no network status from WEEX, so a transfer there cannot be checked.
