USD/CAD

Hey all. So I love the usd/cad. Just had a bit of an issue though. Maybe you could give me some input. I bought the bullish move before the report and put my stop at break even. Then I put a sell stop at the same level in case it dropped. So of course at 10a. the usd/cad chart froze for about 20 secs. Needless to say when it updated I was screwed. Im with Forex.com having been sold to them by FXCM a while back. So Id heard some rough things about them but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Just curious if you all experienced the same...

{quote} My chart also froze for few seconds, but different broker. I think the move was so huge and unexpected that it caused some interruptions or so on most platforms.

{quote} Ah thanks for the feedback. I figured this might be an issue with many brokers. Just curious if theres anyone whose platform didnt freeze and if so what broker are they using?

So, like an idiot I had forgotten about this announcement and had gone long USD/CAD about an hour beforehand. I had a 15 pip stoploss that completely got blown through. When I finally did get closed out, my stoploss had slipped more than 200 pips south, which wiped out 50% of my account. ****ing brutal.

{quote} I did send them an email complaining about my stop loss not getting filled, but I highly doubt it will matter. Slippage is common during events like these. I just happened to be on the wrong end of an extreme case of it.

{quote} i was slipped a pending buy... its entry was triggered 25 pips lower than what i wanted... and the stop another 25... which actually doesn't make sense... if they can fill me 25 pips lower... then they can close me at the same price no?
