Forex.com/Gain Capital...Creepy activity?

This is only in my practice acct, I haven't tried this live, but: I've noticed that more often than not when I place a trade, the "price" will either ride the line of my position + or - a few tenths then not walk but run away. Or it will go right up to my limit order, again + or - a pip or two but most of the time within a few tenths of a pip, then completely walk away!! I've also noticed that when scalping, I will set a limit order of 5 pips only to have the position closed by the broker prematurely @ 1.8 pips!! WTF is going on? This seriously happens to me @ least 50% of the time. Should I withdraw my money & go with a different broker? Thanks.

go with oanda and place limit order by looking at ecn price feed on another demo mt4.

all bucketshop do this.

what they do is when you use market order, they slip 0.7-1pip both on open and on close order,
so in addition to spread 2-3pip, they make this 1.5pip,
total they make 4pips out of your trade, if you trade with 10x leverage they drink 0.4% of your acc on every trade.
(no bank can risk free make 0.4% return of acc every month, so if you over leverage and over trade, you're sure to lose to bank interest rate)

ps: on a demo they may do reverse, on both open and close order, they slip 1pip in your favor... some in addition offer 0.5/1pip spread demo acc
so on a demo most people find that they are extreme profitable by doing blind scalping........then they rush to open acc and lost money hahaha.

using limit order with oanda you're free of this problem.
why oanda because it allow limit order to be 1pip away from price... most others need 5 or 8 pips away so it's not possible to use limit order instead of market order in all cases.



............
now if you move up to daily and weekly T/F and trade no bigger position than your acc then spread and slippage is ignorable...
for trading 4 pip spread+slippage, it takes 2500 trades to drain your acc if you trade randomly with s/l=t/p and position size=acc.

then you don't have to worry about brokers.... that is where to start with, no leverage, trading smoothed trend, and prove yourself 1st.
