How to deal with wide weekend spreads?

hi guys,

If trading daily candles, do you need to worry about weekend spreads? I guess once the market closes your stops shouldn't get filled? Once it opens Sunday night I'm assuming most reputable brokers won't see 20+ pips in spread?

Also, anyway to make your orders only execute if price trades through the level? I know stop losses don't seem to work that way, but will take you out if the Ask hits the price or something? Maybe use a different platform outside of metatrader for proper stops?

Bump anybody trade daily charts? I'm looking at FXChoice and it's like a 60 pip spread wonder a few seconds before market close on Friday if the spread gets this wide or like right after they close, and opening Sunday if spreads are still this wide?

I wouldn't dream of keeping a position open over the weekend.

(If I traded on that kind of time frame, I'd even look at the overall, average cost of closing on Friday evening and re-opening on Monday morning, rather than staying long/short when interbank's closed.)

Currencies often gap over the weekend. Plus, the spread on most pairs increases at the opening. If you're lucky, the gap will be in your favor and will mitigate the impact of the increase in spread. Good luck.
