Let's talk about slippage. A broker sold my pre-set trade with 3 (three!) pip difference not in my favor. The same broker did not close my TP though the price went through it twice. Should I simply accept it as the truth of life, or are there ways to deal with it? The broker is spread-based and pretty big in the UK.
Buy low, sell high.

{quote} I use the one off Davit's thread at the moment which is good. Only difference is that Billy doesn't take Sunday into account where as the indicators do. Gives current/previous day, 5 day, 10 day, 20 day as on my chart. {file}
Because it feels like Christmas for indicators' junkies today, here is another one. No Sunday bar.

Just live with it. If on live account you can complain but wont get anywhere they'll just say 'wide spreads due to volatile market' or blame Brexit that's an easy one at the moment for them.

One reason not to put stops or take profit as you playing against a computer and telling it your game plan. Who will win ?

Depends on how often it happens. If it's a very occasional thing - well, **** happens, especially around news as we know. If it's happening all the time, on every other trade, they are taking the **** and I'd be off to another broker. I'd also let them know why you are leaving and post about it here too - including their reply.

Are you trying to close manually or off a sl? If it's manually, then consider whether you have a fast enough processor at work. Any delay (in computer terms) between trigger-finger and send and you're at a disadvantage.

About brokers, which are better for traders? Spread- or commission-based? Slippage more common on either?

God used to spread-based, but willing to switch back if more advantages.

lol he wishes - as Switzerland is not in the EU they're not governed by ESMA so he will be working on 400 leverage not 30 as in UK.

Probably run out of London just a clever get around of the legislation.

right the Game....
Forget margin blah blah.

Forget i would not of traded it.
The 00-00 4 hour bar Low broke. and we were looking for 30 points..... (Remember 30).

But i said . make 15 then double the Lot ( to keep things easy) and look for another 15. 15 + 15 =30.

But because we made 15 then doubled we had (30) so 15 + 30 = 45 we made 45 points instead of 30.

i should of spoke money and not points, hope you comprehend.
Today would of been good even though i would not of compounded.
maybe Monday we will have a perfect set up.
