So why do you trade with them?
Well, as said, it never happened till now and I was really satisfied with their service.

But now, you're surely right - that's something I start asking myself.
If it doesn't stop I'll change broker.

Same thing here...
I was very satisfied with them till last about 10 days.

This is frustrating.

PS.
What trading platform do you use? MT4 or their FXCM Trading Platform?
I have 2 accounts with them, the regular trading station and the active traders platform, and like you didn't have any problems until last week. Now they suck. All of a sudden, lots of slippage on all orders. I also use Dukascopy and am considering moving all my business to them. Never checked Oanda or Interactive Brokerage, can anybody give me a heads up on both?
If only I knew then what I know now...

Every broker has problems here and then - freezing platform , not able to login etc...
Therefore I put a SL on EVERY order. Lost money due to technical problems not acting so.
good luck

Moody's making substantial negative comments on Greece. Who' paying these people to publish their findings and why today? regulators should look into the timing.
ECB says won't increase money supply. That for me is significant.

Putting SL is regular thing and I never opened a position without doing so. That's not the case.

The problem is, as Kramerica already said, they show spread 2.6 pips e.g. > you open a position and your starting (immediate) balance of that trade is -12 pips. That is simply not normal and I have hard time believing it's common thing with brokers.
As the man said, it's pretty hard to expect reasonable R/r with -12 pips at the very beginning.

Exactly.

That has nothing to do with spread - that's robbery.

That's right. Highway robbery.

I already sent my report to FXCM about same kind of problems since Thursday, claiming about slippage and that their platform got crazy that day. I had 70 pips in my favor and suddenly I was not able to close the order. Half hour later I see in my account just 25 pips.

I was contacted also by a FXCM representative here a Forex Factory, who must be reading all our comments, so.... still no response from FXCM and comments are being added about this kind of problems or my case.

Still on the plus for the day.. but it makes a difference when you lose and extra 10 pips on the click.. with this PA i'm moving s/l to be asap... when I start 10-12 in the whole, brings the probability of the trade being a winner down..
yea i still made great money today.... however, 10-12 spread greatly increases negative expectancy of a trade....Im glad i was using wider stop on my eu trade. I dont really scalp that much anyways, most of my trades are 100+ trades off of 4h. I may only make 4-5 trades a week, I find that its less stressful and yields a lot more profit. Im going to dukascopy anyways....

Bullish inside bar developed over the hrly. Price currently stuck on the actual level of 1.2850 (mid whole number s/r level). I'm anticipating price action to reach 1.2900 level.

Id move everything to dukascopy....they have most liquidity out of any retail broker. Even their retail accounts use the same feed as institutional, im sure you know this.
