Thank you Tomas. I'm waiting for 10 trading days to pass the Evaluation and I may ask for a switch to Swing Account. Glad to know you made it possible

that's some serious spread right there, market has only been open for 30 minutes...
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

{quote} its everywhere. 4th Of July, weekend... don't expect there to be much liquidity.
Live IC Markets was the same, usual 4 to 5 pips, live 8Cap broker is 7 to 8 pips
What accounts are you basing the everywhere claim on?

{quote} Well, it wasn't everywhere for me, 2 other Prop accounts were "normal" 4 to 5 pips Live IC Markets was the same, usual 4 to 5 pips, live 8Cap broker is 7 to 8 pips What accounts are you basing the everywhere claim on?
That should be Tomas's next project.

I had it at FTMO, MFF and better but still bad at Funding talent. I know that none of them share liquidity in common. It was also present on two of my live accounts, with one of them being one of your mentioned above brokers (not 8 cap.. ewww).

The rest of the world is open as normal, it's still Sunday in the USA, banks aren't open anyway.
Or do they leave orders in the market that would normally execute except for holidays?
That would be some lazy-ass algorithm right there!
On edit, forgot to say, my original post was a jab at the FTMO thread title, For serious traders - here are 55 pips spread for you all.

{quote} Okay, I'm not trading anything anyway, and why would July 4 affect it? The rest of the world is open as normal, it's still Sunday in the USA, banks aren't open anyway.

1) July 5, reduced bank liquidity due to Independence Day in the United States
2) Far from the most popular cross pair, on which, even at the best time to trade, there is not such a small spread compared to other crosses.
3) Don't you like the large spread in rollover? Friend, then WHY are you leaving deals for the weekend ?!
Before you accuse someone, look at what you are worth.
sorry for my English, using google translator.

{quote} I think I understood why you are performing like this here, you had an open position and it was closed by the foot, right? I have some answers for you: 1) July 5, reduced bank liquidity due to Independence Day in the United States 2) Far from the most popular cross pair, on which, even at the best time to trade, there is not such a small spread compared to other crosses. 3) Don't you like the large spread in rollover? Friend, then WHY are you leaving deals for the weekend ?! Before you accuse someone, look at what you are worth.
1) I am totally aware of the USA holiday reduced bank liquidity effect. However, it was Monday morning in the Asian session, USA was not even open; does the rest of the world also reduce liquidity in sympathy with the USA holiday? I don't think so.
2) Yes, it is such an exotic pair, but other brokers did not have such a spread at the same time.
3) Doesn't worry me about the spread, I was just being a studious trader and being aware of the situation.
Friend, here is the situation; I did NOT have any open positions over the weekend - I never do. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, just stating the facts.
In fact, what happened was, I had opened 3 prop trading accounts on the weekend, it's all new to me; and I was observing them all - FTMO, 5%, and The Prop Trading.
Simple as that... you have a nice day

{quote} Yes - hugely. Probably by around 70-80%. Since you ask.
