Thread: Good, Bad and Ugly....

Dear friends.lt;? Xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office /gt;lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

I have trading LIVE for some time with Forex.com.
Recently, I have been experiencing bad”situations”. For the second time in 1 week, forex.com full my order together with the incorrect rate, the very first time was the FOMC (22 pips off ).
Before 8:30ET, I opened up a pending Stop order for EUR/USD in 1.2745..., this presumed to BUY if the price reaches 1.2745...
Anyway, I mimicked 1.2745 at the”Dealing desk” along with also the Order still pending, WTF? ... not again?!?! . .

Yes, after 20 seconds, the order was full of 1.2755... 10 pips isn't anything, but if you exchange 5 lots, the view changes.
Really, forex.com begins to piss me off, as I remember, together with the FxSol demo account this shit didn't occurred.
So friends, anybody here trading live with FxSol? And Forex.com? Any bad/good encounter for this guys?

Good: Forex.com Java platform Is Excellent, Great comments and easy to use
Bad: HTML version sucks pretty much,
Ugly: Filled orders at bad price

Best Regards

Are you guys talking about limit orders or market orders?

Well now was a limit order FXsol obtained filled and profit did not but when the fed announcement was published I could get in at all until at the conclusion of the run.

That is the stage, forex.com is not fulfilling the correct price, but on FxSol is doing it directly...lt;? Xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice /gt;lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

Have been trading with forex.com long time ago, but since I changed my egy, Im loosing opportunities lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

lt;ogt; lt;/ogt;

Adv9296, Fxsol can reach 25 pip spread? D A M N... how can you manage to trade together. With my demo account in FxSol, didn't have some difficulties when using orders.lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

Hey Graco mate?! Sorry to hear that...

To trade around news with Foreign Exchange dot com it´s no easy thing... and I´ve discovered they've made it tougher because the last couple of weeks.
Don´t put orders, they won´t give you a good fill.
I was using just market orders together, but with these it´s becoming harder to get filled.

They could reach up to 25pip spread what I try to do is get a fill for your market and set my orders in 10 to 15 minutes before information is released w/tight stop. This way in case it goes up or down it'll be close to your own orders. lt;? Xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice /gt;lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

Normally 12 to 15 pip from the price it works sometimes and not.lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

Edu! ... same thing ,
I don't trade”the News”, I open up the pending orders before news came out according to my egy, affirms, momentum etc.. (in my fxsol demo worked Extremely well)
Market orders are practically impossible to fill them with forex.com at that time, you click on the Buy button, like 5-10 times, and then... you will be get a”poor” rate anyhow.
As adv9296 stated, you will be at the conclusion of the run with market orders.lt;? Xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice /gt;lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

Damn, I must do something... I what my 10 pips back!lt;ogt;lt;/ogt;

Any Ideas to change broker?
FxSol is my very first alternative...

I have been experiencing difficulties. I've also heard of others with various brokers also experiencing similar problems. It's quite possible that the problems are being caused by the bank side. To be sure, however, I've moved my cash out of FXDD.

I am wondering if it's just not funny things happening since it's August. Maybe more experienced traders could comment on whether or not August gets some amusing things happening as a result of decreased liquidity. I felt this exact same way last August, however, I am not sure if it's a consistent problem.

Anyway, my plan would be to open accounts with two different brokers so that I can diversify my passions in case I have a problem with you.

FXSOL isn't any better either. Their demonion may be great, but I have been trading live together for about 1 year now and'm changing asap. Forget placing orders around news events since not only will they never permit you to place an order closer than 25 pips, but then they will slip you another 15-25 pips out of your order! Fxsol has gotten really bad lately, and cannot recommend them at all. On the market orders, I receive requotes all the time and when my market order finally goes through I look at my open position and I am -6 or -10 pips! I mean their spread is 3 pips and there should not be any reason I get slipped that much just out of a market order. My counsel look for another broker, especially if your exchange around news time.

Anyone have experience with AC-markets around news? Great? Bad?
