Question on nonfarm pay roll trading

I havent done trading throughout the quick release of non farm pay roll, but I heard people say that when such huge info are released, brokers widen the spread by a lot? Brokers widen the spread by 10 times the pips when non farm pay roll comes out

thats not true... is it?

It's not so much brokers as the banks that provide liquidity to the system; they tend to widen their spreads significantly. No one really cares enough - except retail brokers - to worry about retail platforms to do this to hurt retail clients; they do it to make sure other big players don't hammer them really hard during the price discovery after an unusual number - especially as there is always the potential for news to be leaked, or more likely, misinterpreted.

That leaves the brokers at a disadvantage, since for a short period liquidity dries up, and they have to scramble to fill orders. If retail players weren't glued to the three-or-two pip spread myth, the brokers would just open up their spreads as well until the market returned to normal, but as it is if the spreads don't widen then you can expect to either get slipped or refused, if there is no one else to take the other side....

It's true. Because during news, liquidity is bad.
It's not brokers fault, it's the nature of the market.
