Broker Playing in Prices

I am trading with Pepperstone broker,
I surprised today when I saw the price in Pepperstone in 23 range and in same time its in 21 range with other brokers,
I checked with more than 10 brokers, they have the range of 21.7 , 21.5, 21.4, I didn't find any brokers touching 22 !!!
I checked with live chat about that different, they told me they have very good prices and they are getting prices from provider.
They are breaking all kind of trusts

One more thing

The spread in Crude Oil WTI, the spread was 5 pips and during last two weeks, its from 20 pips to 60 pips.

The spread for Gold easy to touch 60 pips and jumping to 100 pips which mean if you want to open position for 0.1 it will start from minus 100

And it need to move more than 100 pips to start get profit. All that during last two weeks,

Furthermore, last week at the end of the week they changed trading time for Oil, WTI & Brent with Gas and Indices, it stop open positions before 30min from closing market, which mean in the last 30mins you can only close the position which opened, but you can't open any new position.

This week they extended the period, one hour more, which mea you can open any new position for the last 90 mins (one and half hour) !!!

I attached one sample for Gold, the spread 70 pips

LMAX friday close(xau/usd)... Insanity!!!



Also WTI swaps are madness....... That is 1.65$/day for a 0.01 position, meaning 16.5 pips daily.......(was 4 pips few weeks ago, so basically swaps are 4 times higher)

Pepperstone give you too much high spread without any reason and its easy to close trading with product and keep your position hanging, you can't do any hedge or take any open position, the only thing you can do is close your position.

last week, I was trading with gold, the gold went down for 150 pips, I couldn't use that profit, I only got 50 pips, because the spread was 100 pips, it went down from 1600.00 to 1585, but because of 100 pip spread the bid was 1585 and ask was 1595

Another story, the Peppersone has their own time each week to stop trading

for example for Oil, and Indices, 3 weeks ago it disable to open new position before 1 hours from closing market, last two weeks, the made that disable before two hours from close the market, this week, they made is before 30 mins from close the market, and in each week, if you contact with live chat and inquire about the time to disable open new position, the live chat informing you that, "this week there is no disable of any product" !!!!, and you will surprised that the product is disable, which mean you can't open new position or make hedge for your position or increase it, the only thing you can do it close your position

Another story is with live chat, what every they inform you, don't believe them, they don't know any thing about what is going with company or accounts.

Be far from Pepperstone

So why not doing a little more research and going with those brokers which at least allow direct access to the market with competitive spreads in my opinion.
